Primeval: New World Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
extinctionanimation I love the original Primeval it's one of my favourite TV shows so when I realised there was a reboot I got a little exited. I wasn't expecting anything amazing but after watching it I can say I dislike it very much. The script is bland , the acting is meh , there is zero character development , it has non of the creativity the original had and even the visuals aren't very good. This reboot is a massive disappointment.(In my opinion) Thank god it only lasted for one year.
daisylgouldie I really wanted to like this programme, I loved the original and I miss it. I thought that it might actually bear some form of resemblance to the English one because Connor turns up in the opening episode, but from there it's just a bunch of fairly dull characters running around chasing large lizards. I don't see the point in this, after watching the amazing discoveries of all these anomalies in the English series having to watch a new load of characters get to grips with them seems a little pointless. The attempt at an underlying storyline is also a little dodgy, I won't post spoilers, but overall I wouldn't recommend watching it anyway.
t-mastersheinrichs I've really enjoyed Primeval: New World. Usually, when a spin off occurs from a BBC production, it's merely a redoing of scripts without understanding why the original worked so well. Primeval New World (PNW) didn't do that. It takes place in the same universe, at the same time but from a different perspective. The writers, cast and crew, are coming at it fresh while keeping the rules from the original series. I love it.One of my favourite things is that the main male lead, Evan Cross (Niall Matter) is a beta character, not the standard alpha. He's smart (genus level), active and engaging. The character doesn't solve every problem with a gun, doesn't do the 'macho' stuff that turns such characters quickly into caricatures of leading men. He's believable and relatable. And like all good characters, he's wounded in a way the audience can connect to. He's emotionally stuck in a state of mourning for his wife, whose death he feels responsible for.The other primary characters Dylan Weir (Sara Canning) and Mac Rendell (Danny Rahim) aren't fluff but integral. They work together well. There is conflict, where the lead, Evan Cross (Niall Matter) uses his position of 'boss' to keep control. I love the fact that this power has been taken from him by the direction the show has travelled. Now he only has the friendships he's developed to try and advert disaster with. This is excellent.The supporting characters come across more like secondaries, which is wonderful. They are quirky, are carrying their own baggage (which gives them depth) and carry their own weight both on and off camera. I love the fact that the government has stepped in. This is something that would happen. Trying to keep a lid on the incursions, is clearly impossible in this day and age (cell phones, cameras, etc.). I hope the show gets a second season and continues to deal with this issue, along with the many others brought up. I would love the fact that a little change further back is more damaging then a dead dino relatively recently. (Think dropping a snowball down a mountain that leads to an avalanche at the bottom.)Who among our friends are watching PNW? It seems to appeal to those in their 20s to the late 40s (going by my friends and acquaintances). Of course, we have quite a few friends who do the second season truth, as they call it. (They refuse to watch any series until it has a second season, they then watch the entire first season in one or two sittings, before they start watching the second season.) Many people I know, won't even watch pilots, until they know a show has a second season. I'm hoping for a second season of PNW, not just for them, but for myself. I'm looking forward to buying the DVD for all the extras, lol. As for the danger, now that the characters are established, it can be ramped up, including the danger of a time-line changing that has been done so well in the original. I would love to see a missing sports team, a plant that has gone away (used to be eaten and/or medicinal), a missing pet or entire species, or other such little changes that will bring to the audience the power of messing with time. Depending on what in the time-line has changed (dramatic music), Evan Cross may not be allowed to enter anomalies in the world he enters (which would make sense) or he may not exist, literally being a man out of time. LOL!
relo999-601-496040 I've read all reviews of this series here and it baffles me how most are premature often after 3 to 6 episodes. Which, as I just finished watching the first season. And some even expect a carbon copy from spin-off. Also some people questioned why they didn't see any effect from the whole anomaly apocalypse from the original series, but its been suggested in the new world that the shows don't run in the same time or that it might be an alternative reality (both were established realities in the original series).The first half of the season was clearly made to get people in to the universe who weren't before. They are great episodes for dino-hunting but not really great if you watched the original series because you then already know the rules of the universe. But it not like they are not fun to watch, just no great for a set-up for a story arc.The second half of the season was far more based around a story arc, while still keeping the feel it set out in the first part of the season, which is great. It quickly became more a complex story arc and started to show how an ARC-like company is being set up in Canada, something you didn't see in the original series as there it came from nowhere.
