Started this after seeing the thread. I am now invested already. The brutality was perfect.

4 episodes in, its decent. Camerawork felt like the cameraman was ****** when you first start watching it.

Far too predictable ending. Meh.

Felt I was watching Lone Survivor with the music.

Wasn't too taken with the first episode, but the second episode got good. Need to find a suitable time to watch the rest now.

It was the same band - Explosions in the Sky

Overall I loved it, I agree about the ending. I know it's a limited series, but it left me wanting more.

Just finished it, I thought it was brilliant.

I knew that ending was going to happen though, you could just tell it was going to be that way.

The mum really annoyed me for a good bit of it but that just added to it.

If they did a sequel it would open with three headstones a mile down the road. Her and the two kids. That woman was forever doing dumb **** even when told not to.

The issue now is, Primeval has been somewhat of a success.. cue a hundred other "gritty", "violent" cowboy/western shows on the various streaming platforms to try and jump on the back on the popularity, most will have almost no story or any reasonable acting.. and it will just kill the genre again..

and of course they will push for a season two.. It's popular lets make more and destroy the memory of season one

Absolutely loved the series. The ending was a little cliché but still enjoyed it.

Two episodes in and the first series in a long long time I've wanted to binge.

Top work Netflix

and that would be an excellent start - very much in keeping with the tone of series 1.
