Primeval - Series 2 Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Maybe one day...

Is this really the very best we can do? Lame cgi & effects, dodgy acting, poor scriptwork, dreadful screenplay, certain irritating characters and a plot with more holes in it than a block of swiss cheese. Excluding Abby, the 'sexy' female characters aren't sexy at all. It's a damn site better than the god-awful Doctor Who and Torchwood, but even so it fails miserably in so many ways. Most of the characters are likeable and have a certain onscreen connection. The humour is good most of the time and it can be minorly enjoyable. But it really is dire in too many aspects to ignore. There is so much potential with the basic idea to make an amazing series. And it's not like they didn't have a good budget. When you consider they spent about as much on this series (6 part show) as they did on 6 episodes of the legendary '24', it's a joke. Against all odds, I quite like this show at times - god knows why, but I live in hope of us brits one day making a decent action series. Maybe in 50 years we will finally catch up with the US standards of tv/film.
