Bought this for my grandson as he is dinosaur mad and he loved the series on television. I also enjoyed watching it.
I hope there is going to be a new series.

Scarily goodReview date: 2010-04-09 Rating: 8 out of 10Scary and good not just about dinosaurs, series 3 is better but the special features are not that good. Unlike special effects, they are amazingDangerous Dinosaur DaysReview date: 2010-02-22 Rating: 10 out of 10This show was created by the same man who did "Walking with Dinosaurs", which I haven't seen. But I saw an advertisement for Primeval when it first came out and I finally rented it here in the States. Wow! Not what I expected, it's definitely for adults. It combines all the things I used to love as a little girl and still do, even though I'm MUCH older now, Ray Harryhausen style adventure and cool monsters--with a touch of Jurassic Park.
The cgi here is first-rate, the acting is great, the characters are really interesting and the stories are well written. A group of four people, two-twentysomethings, one of whom, a young woman works at a zoo as a keeper and the other whose a college student team up with the students professor, an expert in dinosaurs and his former student who is now his assistant. They discover what comes to be known as anomolies--wormholes in time through which all kinds of dinosaurs from different eras emerge.
Imagine the danger of finding a T-Rex roaming through your local wooded area and you have some idea of what these four people have to go up against. They track down the dinos and try and get them back through the anomolies before there's too much carnage. They're aided, reluctantly at first by a button-downed civil servant with a sarcastic tongue who isn't fond of 'civilians', and a pretty handler who comes on board as a go-between and helper and some soldiers added to cover their backs.
All in all, it's a great show and I'm looking forward to a movie that's supposed to be in the works and a new season--hopefully we won't have to wait too long. You won't be disappointed!ExcellentReview date: 2009-11-21 Rating: 10 out of 10Any Primeval fans will want this! We all love it in this house and it makes good watching!good valueReview date: 2009-10-24 Rating: 8 out of 10My children are addicted to this series, they only ever caught random episodes when it was on TV so i decided to invest in the DVD showing the first and second series for them to watch in order, good family fun and short episodes at 45 minutes each, great use of CGI.
