Primeval, Vol. 1: Series 1 & 2 [4 Discs] [DVD]

Primeval is an unique show that mixes dinosaurs and time traveling in one to make a very compelling plot. It starts off on a decent foot but gets increasingly better each season. Primeval has lovable characters that makes you want to stay and watch hoe their storyline progresses. Primeval has flaws, like every show, but is worthwhile. I doubt you will be disappointed in watching this show, and I can guarantee you that shows like this are hard to come by.

I remember seeing the trailers for this series but I never got to see a single episode, and none of the stores had it in stock so I finally bought all 3 seasons at once on-line......Interesting show

I watched this because I'm fascinated with dinosaurs. The first episode's not that great, but give the series a chance. The characters work together really well. Good stories. I'd say the series standout is Hannah Spearritt. I always look forward to seeing the scenes with her. I never heard of her before, even though she is part of the group S Group 7. Unfortunately, like most British series, the first season only had 6 episodes to it. The second had 7 episodes, so don't expect anything like 20 or 24. However, this set is nice because it combines seasons 1 and 2, so you're getting 13. The acting is very good. However, if you have trouble understanding thick British accents, you might want to use subtitles. The only one who speaks with the kind of British accent that is familiar to American ears is Lucy Brown. The actor who plays the professor has a very thick Scottish accent. David Lee Potts and Hannah Spearritt have an accent that sounds somewhat Cockney. I didn't have a problem with it, though some might. Enjoy! The series returns on BBC America for a third year in January or February of 2009

Having only seen one episode of Primeval I approached this box set with trepidation. It turns out that the episode I saw was the final episode of season three. It was a little confusing, but it intrigued me enough to give Season 1 a try. I was glad I did. In essence this set is actually seasons 1 and 2 of this British series (The british seasons traditionally being six episodes per). It mashes several sci fi plots together to make a thouroughly enjoyable hour of television. The acting is great with just a few over the top performances keeping it from being excellent. The Dvd extras are good and the special effects are top notch. Would definately recomend this if someone were trying to learn the different prehistoric eras. LEMIII

If you like sci fi, action and drama or dinosaurs this is for you.Contains series 1 and 2 ,13 episodes in total. And although it seems like a small number the episodes are packed full of content and the story progresses smoothly.You can easily watch this in 2 sittings because it is very enjoyable.I cant wait until more seasons are made!

i love this show. the series 1 and 2 dvd set feel more like 3 seasons of an american show. there are only 13 episodes, but so much happens that it feels like a lot more.
