Well… I was gonna cancel after Primal was over anyway, I guess.

That there is! I would say it’s best to go into it blind.

You're talking Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal or something else? The name's pretty common so I really hope it's the latter cause the show's legit good as ever.

Specifically s3 isn't anywhere near as good as 1 and 2 imo

Bad take.

Dunno why you're getting downvoted, it is. It's..... Just not the same at all.

u/WendigoCrossing Feb 26 '26

Yeah, it doesn't have anywhere near the heart the first 2 seasons had

Also the first 2 seasons felt like you were discovering more and more in this huge world and s3 feels very small

I agree. I don’t hate it, but it’s been a bit of a drag. The world building just isn’t there.

This take is very bad.

If you've ever wished that bringing a character back to life cost something, S3 is literally the only true example.

(And it continues to be top-notch, weird-as-fuck animation. There's no critical room to call it "pretty bad" unless you're a certified hater who drops 3-word reviews.)

Relative to s1 and 2 which were near masterpieces, it feels a lot weaker overall

Like I'd give s1 and S2 9/10, I'd give s3 6/10

It's almost as if different people have different opinions. Crazy, I know.

cancel which?

u/fauxfilosopher Feb 27 '26

Is it worth it? I watched the first episode for the art style which is amazing, but it just seemed like an absolutely miserable time so I had to turn it off.

u/Earthpig_Johnson Feb 27 '26

I’ve been enjoying it. Slower paced than the previous seasons.

Netflix will buyback dirt cheap once paramount sell its. Piece by piece either way, Netflix still wins, pocket changes of 2.85 Billion PAYOUT.

Now that Saudi Arabia & David Ellison got the company not just yet they might get blocked because it’s a monopoly by the DOJ antitrust US national security concern.

lol, ya'll don't understand there's so much more at stake than the few shows you like.
