Your average episode of Primal is a solid 8/10, with many episodes as incredible as a 9.5/10. There are only a few that're worse than that. Suffice to say I fucking loved Primal as I watched it, was always looking forward to the next ep, and never missed a premier day. Incredible art, animation, and especially soundtrack. So much is told through little to no actual dialogue.

'The Primal Theory' episode I thought was pretty good, but as I watched it I couldn't help but feel like "we only have a few more episode left, I hope this time spent away from the main storyline doesn't detract from the finale." And boy it did, bigtime. The finale was fuckin ASSCHEEKS. It was BAD. And not even in the main choices for what happens to the characters. They could have kept all the main plot decisions the same, but could have portrayed it about 7000x better. ESPECIALLY if they didn't waste a whole episode on some random ass non-related story. If they just made the final ep a 2-parter in length, and fleshed out the details, Primal would have been a complete masterpiece start to finish.

Unfortunately, a damn near perfect series ended on a complete shitstain note of a final episode. Still worth watching. Still pissed off about the ending
