Show Summary

Primeval, a high-budget series, follows Professor Nick Cutter and his team as they investigate anomalies in time found in the Forest of Dean. An unfortunate side-effect of the anomalies is that dinosaurs are moving through them and into the present time, making the team's investigations that much more stressful. Cutter's wife also disappears while investigating the anomalies and he makes it his mission to find and save her. This series originally aired on ITV and begins on BBC America on August 9, 2008.

  • Brilliant!!!

    10
    By GerodeanElleb, Nov 22, 2012
    I've had time to think a bit and now Ive decided which series I think is the best of a big list of horror/sci-fi/fantasy series.

    A series which is not strong all the way maybe, some episodes and seasons are a bit boring, but overall exciting and it feels that the writer / writers really but some hard thinking into it. It contains a lot of monsters, time travel and excitement. Moreover, it is well made and neat. The Monsters are divine. As monster fans will be so happy.



    :::: PRIMEVAL ::::



    Love it! And want more!!! (I do miss it...)



    (Ive watched the whole serie from beginning to end 2 times and watched a lot of other series aswell and had a long time to think about this!)

  • This Dinosaur show has jumped the shark!

    2.0
    By BuffaloATP, Aug 16, 2012
    This show is every bit as bad as Terra Nova. I don't feel any sense of terror or even suspense. Every episode is just like the previous except in a different location and with different creatures. I can just about tell what will happen next, even in a new one I haven't seen before. The only redeeming thing is that I believe this program was DOA in 2011. And my local channel has been running the same episodes for the last few weeks indicating to me at least, it just hasn't caught on .moreless

  • Review? More like an Opinion Poll - NEXT AIR DATE - should it be on the show's Overview Page?

    Is it just me or do the rest of you depend a great deal upon TV.com information to not only be reliable but timely as well?

    Ah, Time!

    What TIME is the NEXT AIR DATE and/or maybe I should ask.... Where did the TV.com folks Easter Egg it?

    Would the rest of the FANS like to know even the 'possibility' of an Air Date? I like having things to look forward to; Birthdays, Anniversaries, Holidays and most especially WHEN MY FAVORITE SHOW IS GOING TO BE ON AGAIN... or is it just me?moreless

  • It's getting tiring now. When will Connor get eaten?

    You know, the characters on the show have been investigating these anomalies for several years. During that time they've lost several co-workers, soldiers and innocent civilians to dinosaurs and other sundry monsters.



    What makes this show stale and boring is that these 'experts', who have fought various creatures EVERY time they find an anomaly STILL go in without any firepower or enough manpower.



    How many times will we have to watch Connor and/or Abby being stalked by giant lizards before they get a clue and bring weapons to these missions? Why in the world don't they ever call in backup when they're surrounded by a herd of carnivores? These have got to be the stupidest, most suicidal specialists ever!



    I know there are show budget reasons not to have dozens of soldiers in the background, but to never carry weapons when they ALWAYS need them is just lazy story writing.



    The original concept and season were excellent, but now it's just getting tiresome. The season arch mysteries are always good, but the weekly "Which monster is stalking us through an empty building this week" are becoming a pathetic joke.



    Either jump the shark with this show and shake things up, or this will definitely be the last season for great show that died not with a bang, but with a sad little sigh....moreless

  • Boring

    1.5
    By skajkingdom, Jun 13, 2011
    It was interesting in the beginning ... but now it is just "a new episode - a new "monster".



    I would have liked it to be more concentrated on the future, the technology, the exploration, not damn monsters.



    As it is now - it's absolutely predictible with the same plot each episode (anomaly, monster comes, hunt the monster, kill/send back the monster, yay!) ...



    The show is bloody boring now.

    The only ones who find it "cool" are my kids ... and that is telling ...moreless
