Unexplained anomalies rip holes in the fabric of time, allowing creatures from the very earliest stages of Earth's development to exist in the modern world. Primeval combines the dazzling special effects of Walking With Dinosaurs with a haunting love story, and asks a terrifying question - has mankind come to the end of the evolutionary road?

Ok, I love this show. I haven't seen it in 2 years. I looked on Netflix to watch, since that's where I originally found it. THEY REMOVED IT! I come here to buy it, but then I thought that I'll just wait for another day, but BBC should REALLY stop taking down amazing shows like these. It's sad...
