Amazon.co.uk review

Primeval may be a little daft, and it may be ITV trying to capture some of the success that the BBC has enjoyed with Doctor Who, but for brainless Saturday night entertainment, it’s quite a blast.

Picking up from where the series before it left off, it finds Professor Nick Cutter and his team once again dealing with creatures quite literally out of their time. But this time, Primeval has a few more tricks up its sleeve. Because while the convention for much of series one was that the creatures that faced Cutter and his crew were arriving from the past, this time round there are monsters from the future to worry about too. Cue the likes of a woolly mammoth on the motorway, and a raptor-esque chase around a shopping centre.

Primeval then blends in some twisty narratives surrounding the characters themselves, which - while not particularly intricate or surprising - do keep the fun jollying along. And backed up with special effects that range from the very good to the slightly creaky, it does its best to throw as much at the screen as it can.

Superior to the season that preceded it, but still with some way to go to be regarded as any kind of classic, Primeval is nonetheless undoubtedly still very good fun, and the seven episodes here are suitable for family viewing too. Enjoyable, and worth checking out. --Jon Foster



DVD Description

As series one of Primeval reached its devastating conclusion Professor Nick Cutter was having a rather bad day. And he still is. His estranged wife Helen has deceived him; tricking him into going through the anomalies one last time. But something has gone terribly wrong. Upon his return to the present, the world as he knows it has changed. And He and Helen are the only ones who know. When series two opens, Claudia Brown has never existed and the others have no idea who she was. Can Nick convince his team that their actions have inadvertently altered the course of nature? But he has absolutely no idea what went wrong or how he can fix it…

Along the way Nick and his team encounter some beastly opponents that find their way through the anomalies. From a family of raptors going wild in the aisles of a local shopping mall, a sabre-tooth at an amusement park, to a Woolly Mammoth holding up the traffic on the M25, the creatures just keep on coming...

Includes exclusive DVD extra ‘Through The Anomaly’, an access all areas behind the scenes documentary made by Andrew-Lee Potts.

Also including audio commentaries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Fun, 8 Feb 2008
By William H. Riddihough "Riddihough" (Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Good fun, and not too frightening for the whole family to watch. Series two improves on series one, with more monsters from the past being thwart by the brilliantly cast team. Of note the DVD series is superior to the TV transmission, as there is no TV adverts, just 45 minutes of fun for all, TV transmission good though. Series 2 is brilliant, a must for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm completely absorbed!, 3 Mar 2008
By A. Hislop (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really hate it when people compare this to Doctor Who! Doctor Who is completely different and i cannot believe anyone would compare the two if they saw both shows. Sadly, for some reason, Doctor Who has more success, but Primeval has a great cast, great effects and most importantly an absorbing story! I first thought it would be a show with a very loose continuation running through it. However, I have been completely suprised, it has a vastly more intense and clever story line than i could have expected! Drawing in audiences that are interested in what happens to the characters aswell as seeing monsters every week! Making me very, very hopeful for the future of british television. Its not as high a standard as 'alias' or 'buffy' but its trying its hardest and its become one of my most favourite series on TV. Excellent, well worth buying, cus i could watch it again and again!

I would like better special features, namely out-takes, cus there always good and a larger amount of episodes too! 6-7 episodes a series isn't particularly impressive. When you start getting into it, its over.

Keep Going ITV!!!!!! Your on a winner here!!!Thank You!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super!, 15 Mar 2008
By E. Blake "esb3006" (Kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fantastic series thanks to a great cast, brilliant creature effects and an excellent storyline. Every episode of Primeval left me wanting to desperatly see the next so I could see how the overall plot arc would develope and what amazing creature they will have to face. The finale was amazing - I can't wait until the next series! I even found it more enjoyable than Dr Who!
