Primal Season 2 is an absolutely magnificent addition to an already fantastic set of episodes. It’s one of Tartakovsky’s best by far, and he’s proven that this is a franchise that’s only going to get better with time. From top to bottom, it’s one of the best animated series going right now.
-
Narratively and compositionally, the proceedings are dynamic, balancing ferocity and tenderness, minimalism and sophistication with captivating flair. ... Primal is an adventure that’s as surprising as it is solemn, and as pulse-pounding as it is poignant. It’s a sterling example of form as content, and once again solidifies Tartakovsky’s status as modern commercial animation’s most daring and inventive voice.
-
For every bombastic and chaotic action sequence, Primal remains adept at balancing it with more reflective moments as well. If it is able to remain committed to striking that balance in the rest of the season, then there is no better animated show out there to take a journey with.
-
If the first two episodes available to press are any indication, it has retained all the ferocious zeal and devastating pathos of the first season, while setting the stage for a descent into a new den of prehistoric nightmares. Our blood runs hot with anticipation for the weekly episodes to come.

Jul 26, 2022Genndy Tartakovsky is yet to disappoint. The first two episodes of the new season are as brutal as tender. Spear and Fang are my favorite new heroes.

Jul 26, 2022Majestic as always. Doing so much with so little is what gives Tartakovsky the edge.
