I may have mucked-up my search criteria - but am I right that there is no existing thread here for this amazing show?

Not sure, so let's call this the start to bring attention to it!

Fantastic animated series, on par with some of the best in history. Someone give Genndy Tartakovsky the Conan license already.

Incredible show.

The "talking episode" this season IMHO might be a type of backdoor pilot for future storylines. I don't think the Spear and Fang narrative can last forever.

One nice thing about Primal is so much can be conveyed without dialogue, which I find is absent in many modern movies.

Kathryn Bigelow is interesting in that regard. The Hurt Locker was "show not tell" but Zero Dark Thirty was "tell not show" and you could see the massive difference in the storytelling.





This old scene from Braveheart shows how much you can convey without words. Much of the same is why something like Primal works.

What a great show! I agree, it excels at conveying so much without dialogue.

There's an even better "talking" episode in season 2, with an unexpected twist.
