Primal

Genndy Tartakovsky's singular vision as an animated action auteur evolves here in ways that seem almost impossible to replicate. An entirely nonverbal animated series for adult audiences, where he was able to work directly with Studio LaCachette to keep them in the loop through the entire production pipeline feels like the kind of home run that simply wouldn't ever happen in real life.
The result is a team of artists punching so far above their weight class to deliver a truly unique experience that feels familiar to anyone who has ever enjoyed Conan or Turok or any of the countless other pulp stories over the years.
For being an intensely violent show (as suggested by the title), its tender moments are surprisingly quiet and impactful, and while not necessarily the focus of the series, they create the kind of variation in the pacing that saves it from being a one-note gorefest.
