255. Primal Season 1
The legendary Genndy Tartakovsky’s latest Adult Swim show Primal is a visceral, emotional and spectacular ride that leaves you on a note wanting SO much more. I’ve never experienced a series that has expanded a world and had a call to adventure in such a short amount of time. All with very little voice acting at all. A nearly silent completely violent masterpiece.
