	Media	Author	Review
		Brittany Vincent Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Primal Season 2' is an absolutely magnificent addition to an already fantastic set of episodes. It’s one of Tartakovsky’s best by far"
		Jim Vorel Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: Thanks to the mature approach of Tartakovsky, there remains nothing else quite like 'Primal' on TV today"
		William Hughes AV Club	"If 'Primal' has a flaw, it’s one of length; at 22 minutes (...) As an event, though (...) it’s hard to question its few missteps."
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: One of the most well-crafted and compelling animated series out there continues to thrive in its thrilling second season."
		Sarah Milner SlashFilm	"[2nd Season Review]: The violence is just one component of the compelling visuals that makes 'Primal' so fun to watch. The story, however, is really what makes the series special"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Tartakovsky has long been a distinctive force in TV animation and this is another winner, a spare storytelling experiment that plays like nothing else in the current landscape.
		David Fear Rolling Stone	"[A] stunning, soulful achievement (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Samantha Nelson The Verge	"It’s remarkable how much pathos, humor, action, and suspense Tartakovsky has crammed into each of the first few episodes of 'Primal', all without having a single word spoken"
		Sam Stone CBR	"[2nd Season Review]: Breathtakingly gorgeous and a masterclass in action pacing and cinematography, Primal has only gotten better as it returns to Adult Swim for its second season"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"This dialogue-free chronicle of an unlikely human-dinosaur partnership is a feat of elemental storytelling."
