Primeval is a British sci-fi fantasy series that aired on the BBC from 2007 to 2011. The series revolved around a team of British scientists tasked with containing creatures from the past and the future that arrive in the present via time portals referred to as "anomalies".

General premise

In the events of the series, various animals from the past and future enter the present via time travel through portals that open randomly as rifts in the time and space continuum. Dinosaurs, mammals, and giant invertebrates are among some of the creatures that appear in the series that the protagonists face off against.

Cult following

Since it first aired in 2007, the show has had a significantly large following, unsurprising due to its unique premise, monster of the week style formula, and character development. One reviewer (a writer for doctor who) praised the show as being unique enough to be distinguishable from doctor who yet similar in positive ways, but criticized the series for its lack of diversity.
