This was a great 5 episode first season about a caveman and his dinosaur surviving in a brutal world. Not a single word is spoken throughout and it was fantastic; it's the kind of animated show that I've wanted since I was a boy, looking at Japan with envy for what they can get away with. I wish the guys who did Korgoth would pitch it again to Adult Swim, maybe they'd have better luck today.

Second half of the first season started on Sunday. Still great and definitely worth your time.

The Korgoth pilot episode was hilarious and I couldn't believe it didn't get picked up

watchcartoononline.io has them, though it now redirects to www.wcostream.com, same thing. I believe I discovered the site in one of the anime threads here a year or so ago.

They just recently blocked people from using adblock, but I'm not finding the ads too in my face and once an episode is launched and you fullscreen you don't see any.

They've been reshowing them on adult swim recently as well, if you haven't manager to watch them already.
The previous one's that is. They're really quite good.

This is a real good show. Has a Conan vibe. Both seasons are good, but my favorite episodes were in the first season. People need to watch this. Episode Plague of Rage and also Episode Night Feeder I found VERY haunting. The creators really know how to express fear/terror in the animals and make you feel empathy for them.

So I guess this show is done. I thought the finale was pretty bad. Like easily the worst episode of the series bad.

That does not change the fact that it was a great show for 90% of its very limited run.

I agree that the final battle left a lot to be desired but overall a great show. From my understanding the creator wants to continue Primal but with different storylines such as aliens or whatever with the same style of low dialog etc that Primal was about.

This show is dope AF and it’s amazing how much story Genndy Tartarovsky (the guy who did Samurai Jack) can tell with zero dialogue (in season 1 at least).

Season 2 is more story driven with a continuous plot whereas season 1 is more episodic.

I feel that the last episode was a bit weird, but I'm ultimately happy with Spear's arc. The "big fight" was lame on it's face, but I think it was always a macguffin. Ultimately, he had his hero's journey, and redepmption arc as it was- and he did quite well at it. I think the complaints would be less if they did an extended episode for the finale. Which given adult swim- they could have fit another 15 or 30 mins in with little problem. All that said, the second series was great, and a little bit more violent than I was expecting for Adult Swim- all things considered.
Also those Baby dino's are absurdly cute.

It seems to be very wrapped up. But you could easily anthologize it again after the finale, but another time setting seems more likely as the poster above implied. I've been a fan of Genndy for ages, so I hope he continues making more "adult" stuff. He's certainly made all the fucktons of monies with the Sandler Transylvania movies and really shouldn't have any immediate budget concerns.
