Primal
2019 · 3 Seasons · Adult Swim · Animation / Action / Horror / Drama
Primal is one of the most remarkable achievements in modern animation, a series that tells a deeply emotional story about grief, survival, and unlikely companionship without a single word of dialogue. Genndy Tartakovsky's visual storytelling is operating at a level that makes most animated shows look timid by comparison, and the bond between Spear and Fang is as affecting as any relationship on television. The second season's shift toward more fantastical elements divided some fans, and the relentless violence won't be for everyone. But when Primal is firing on all cylinders, there is nothing else like it on TV.
