Primeval's Third Series - a season of change,
By
This review is from: Primeval: Volume Two (DVD)
The content of Volume 2 is the ten episode third series of Primeval. Volume 1 combined the 13 episodes of series one and two.My favourite bits were in episode three, where the humorous events at the beginning contrast deftly with its darker conclusion; episode four with the Giganotosaurus on a rampage; episode seven, with the cast in period clothing; and how later episodes depict a potential deadly future. Primeval has never been a program that stood still. Unlike many series where the cast is the same from year-to-year, this show has dropped old characters and added new ones each year. In the first series, it was Captain Ryan and Claudia Brown. The second series brought back the actress who played Claudia as a new character (to demonstrate the fragility of our timeline) along with two new characters who left with the end of that series. Stephen Hart, who had been with the series since the beginning was also gone. Then series three brings the most drastic cast changes of all. I say this to make the point that the Primeval Volume 2 box set extras are mostly designed as a tribute to the third series cast changes. One is a documentary, Cutter's Odyssey, devoted to Douglas (Professor Nick Cutter) Henshall's journey through Primeval. Henshall's take on Nick's romantic history ("will they, won't they") is something definitely worth viewing, especially for the way he ends his reverie! The commentaries -- Episode 3 with Andrew-Lee Potts and others; Episode 5 with Lucy Brown and Ben Miller; and Episode 10 with Jason Flemyng and others -- have focused on those episodes where we say goodbye to some of our most beloved (and loathed) Primeval characters. The series three episodes are a noticeable improvement over the second series, but my main reason for buying this box set was to appreciate and say farewell to some of the remarkable characters we've met over the past three years.

Primeval Review,

This review is from: Primeval: Volume Two (DVD)
Love this series. New characters added more story lines. Again, sad that it was cancelled. Perhaps they will make a movie that will rap up all the loose ends.

Primeval Volume Two,
By
This review is from: Primeval: Volume Two (DVD)
I was under the impression that James Murray had been in Season 1 and 2 of Primeval but the British way of marking the seasons is different than the U.S. I was a little disappointed in that as well as Cutter being killed (spoiler alert!) The stories are still quite interesting, but when you lose the main reason for watching a show - some of the shine comes off of it. Still is better than a lot of what is on TV nowadays.
