Natalie Zea as Eve Harris, the mother of Izzy Harris.
Eoin Macken as Gavin Harris, the husband of Eve Harris
The other actors range from professional to below average

The writing is sometimes not bad - but, at too many other times is not good. David Appelbaum wrote episode 1. He did not do a good job. This is not just me. I think most knowledgeable viewers know he did not write a good script.

I'll continue to watch the series. I think it has potential.

People with an interest in prehistory in the circa 10,000 BC era might be drawn to the series. It will be interesting to see how scientifically accurate the series is in reproducing that era.… Expand

Poor acting. I’ve seen better acting in a high school play. Admittedly, not much to work with Animated prehistoric wolves and birds that looked completely cartoonish, like something out of a 1960 movie. Cheaply done nonsense. I can’tPoor acting. I’ve seen better acting in a high school play. Admittedly, not much to work with Animated prehistoric wolves and birds that looked completely cartoonish, like something out of a 1960 movie. Cheaply done nonsense. I can’t believe that this trash will make it through even one season. Maybe if I was 12 years old I’d enjoy it. Who knows?… Expand

This show is just awful. What I find most disturbing is the acting. They are all like a bunch of robots. No emotion, no feeling, just say your line.

No emotion, no feeling, just say your line. Only one actor, in my view, was adequate, the stoned dude managed to say his lines with the appropriate emotion.

Stop trying to make political statements people are sick of it. Find a better term of endearment than sweetie, nobody says that.

Not nearly as bad as most reviews would suggest, however this show can easily be picked apart if you try to.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Get some advisors over 50 years old. Saber tooth tigers did not have canines small as straws. Mammoths did not live in forests. Make it more about people than about dangers. So far it looks like a video game. If it's always hyper, you will lose your adult audience. Remember cell phones are useless without recharging. Leaving food out on the ground is just asking for critters to take it all. Use some old hippies who know how to make soap and candles from scratch. Weave baskets, make arrows etc, start someone on making clay pots to cook in and store fats in and other things. If you have excitement all the time, no one will stay with the show. Characters are much more intriguing. Basic American Indian culture included people who listened to plants to know what would work as medicine. I get the space/time rift, but as this takes place in present day america, lots of people will know about that "light" in the sky. Do NOT make the whole program about deadly dangers. Make it about people and you have a good start on that level. NCIS is popular because we are attached to character development, not the bad vs good. Other cop show just don't do that. They concentrate too much on speed and violence. Enough already. Again...drop the video game mentality and make it about the people more. Your dangerous animals need to be more realistic too. And you must include a few cats and dogs who were pets who fell into the hole also.… Expand

The quickest way to turn viewers off is advertisements every 4 minutes. Special effects were lackluster. Go get the special effects crew from 10,000 BC. Now you're cooking.
