Genndy Tartakovsky’s ‘Primal’ is a bloody, brutal, beautifully animated story, told without a single line of dialogue. Don't even try to look away.
The Adult Swim show, which premiered Monday, follows the adventures of — and the evolving relationship between — a caveman, Spear, and a dinosaur, Fang, who have experienced parallel tragedies. One episode of the 10-episode series is set to air each day through Friday, with the remaining five episodes coming at a later, to-be-announced date.An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that all 10 episodes of “Primal” will air this week.
It would be a formidable ask from a lesser show. But “Primal” is captivating enough, Tartakovsky recalled, that his Adult Swim boss Mike Lazzo even forgot he was holding a slice of pizza during a screening of the second episode.While Tartakovsky said he didn’t specifically set out to create a show that would discourage distracted viewing, the “Dexter’s Laboratory” and “” creator is aware that audience habits have changed since he started working in animation.
“It would drive me insane, because animation is so labor intensive. We produce every frame and all these drawings, everybody’s great work,” Tartakovsky said. “It’s something that took me a while to kind of just accept. It’s the way people watch TV now. We’re always doing other things at the same time.”
Additionally, “When people were watching ‘Samurai Jack’ and would pinpoint their favorite sequences, they were always the ones that had no dialogue. The very visual ones,” Tartakovsky said. “And I thought, ‘Well, can I actually make a whole series of just these types of sequences?’” “One of the big challenges was to not make it funny,” Tartakovsky said. “We really wanted to try to be true to the tone. We wanted it to be pulpy and fantastical.”
