I personally loved this series and I hope they make more seasons. And I think that there are way more people who love this series rather than carry on criticizing it because they say that its not like the older series, but surely you know the saying that no movie is exactly the same as the book or original movie. I've seen the original series and I think this series is way better with the characters and graphics, the plot line is way more interesting and it is way more realistic. Its my favorite series and I really hope more season come out because I really want to see the way all the relationships grow between all the characters and the story line. Please carry on making more seasons its been two years since the first season came out and I really want more.

Please give this show a chance, a lot of the reviews to date are overly judgmental and biased, unfairly in my eyes. Do not dismiss this because it is a one of those shows which will grow on you, and the ending to this series is sensational, and very unexpected. The production team and values are the same as the original, which is brilliant. They have managed to maintain the spirit of the original version, and make the series equally as good as the British show. I speak as a humble Brit too. The characters are rounded and well acted. Clearly a lot of time and effort went into the values of maintaining the integrity of the original show, but also making it more grown up. Nice to see the series running longer too. A lucky 13 episodes in this series which I hope will lead to another series or five.

If this would be real, all "special primeval group" members would be already dead so slow they think on their feet (though some geniuses should be supposedly on board..Generally comparing to original UK version this looks like is tailored for different (more simpler) audience. ..or it's just the script so bad ?You can see here very visible "political correctness" in acting towards the creatures, which does not correspond to understanding of the evolution (and risks these anomalies potentially present to human kind) as well as it's just illogical as it causes very often even death of team members....and the team doesn't learn from the experience a bit.. Sure, other differently painstakingly "US hero" stereotypes are to see as well : \ In UK version I was looking forward for new parts (though there were some boring parts as well - usual for middle of the series)..here, I watch only with hope that some day maybe...then again I am let down :(...sure another problem is why/how they decided to ignore what happened in UK series...

The BEST thing about Primeval: New World is that it shows how brilliant the ORIGINAL Primeval series is. The original is like your favorite childhood desert, so tasty and flavorful. Now, as an adult, you find that while someone has resurrected the brand, it's now just bland and nothing special.In New World, the main character is Evan Cross, the team LEADER, unlike the original where Conner, the sidekick, is the protagonist. Except for the "pocket change" appearance of Conner in the 1st episode, the surviving original cast are nowhere to be seen, nor are any story lines carried forward. New World is "leader centric" - everything revolves around Evan, so no risk of anything happening to him... Yawn.The series does pick up (trudging through 8 episodes), and episode 8 does have a nice twist, unlike the original where a number of episodes had "nice" twists. Here, most episodes are "cookie cutter": man-eating creature {fill in the blank name} comes through, causes havoc, and must be returned to its own time. Yawn.What you don't see is the humor of the original: James Lester is SORELY missed. The Conner/Abby relationship interest is replaced by a triangle (or should that be quadrangle if you don't exclude the dead), but the situations merely serve as pauses between the man-eating dino's (as in CGI is expensive, and we need to have 45 minutes in an episode, so...). Yawn.Again, where the original had an arc, a sense of direction carried through multiple seasons, a PLAN (I imagine the creators had a notebook with a design of where they wanted to be at the end of each season, for a number of seasons, with directions of how to get there), New World's playbook seems to be "Let's make Season ONE, and we'll worry about subsequent seasons IF we're renewed. It seems that a shorter season (original) IS better than a longer season (New World).So maybe it'll pick up after the Christmas break. It is worth slogging through the season so far just in case. Consider it an "ironing" program - you know, something that you can watch while you iron, distracting, but not something you have to, nor want to, devote full attention to. (Maybe that's their market: an audience wrapped up in texting, checking e-mail, needing noise as background).
