Show Summary

  • Returning Series
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.moreless

    Interview: Lucy Brown on Her Primeval Return

    By Heather Hughes, Jan 27, 2011

    For some Primeval fans, the discovery that not all the shows main characters would be returning for the fourth and fifth season came as a bit of a blow. By the time the dinosaur series had been saved after its… more

  • 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

    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

  • Bring back the original cast. Think of them and the show as a business....

    I love this show, however, I have a complaint. What is it that makes the producers keep changing the cast. Bring back our original cast. We are talking about different diminsions, time warps and worm holes, so anything is possible! Get our much loved characters back to us. So many times, people open businesses, then they quit selling the very product that made the business a success. Don't do that with this show. Great stories everytime, I so look forward to it, but also have fallen in love with the goofy and the serios types that made the show!moreless
