Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Incredible creature design that makes CGI look cowardly.

Production

Shooting in brutal real locations your ancestors actually suffered through.

Best for:Solo: When you want to feel small and oddly proud of your opposable thumbs.·Binge: Both episodes back-to-back—it's only 90 minutes of evolutionary trauma.
Heads up:Emotional: Your favorite proto-human probably dies. Evolution is rude.
