Primal is a dark, sinewy animated series that pairs a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal named Spear with an orthodontically challenged T rex called Fang. Violent and bloody, Primal is probably not for kids – but there is far more depth and intelligence to the deceptively simple concept of a caveman and a dinosaur teaming up to fight the world.
Primal creator and animation auteur Genndy Tartakovsky has a distinctive style and flair for storytelling that has seen him create some of the most memorable US cartoons of recent years, including Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and the original (and best) Star Wars: Clone Wars series. But with Primal he has outdone himself.
