Radio Times: Review by:; Mark Braxton

Those missing the pests-and-portals drama Primeval – still on ice after a fifth series aired on Watch in May 2011 – should enjoy its Canadian cousin. But be warned, this gorier spin-off (Jurassic Park meets CSI) is aimed at an older audience.

This first episode establishes the same format: motley crew investigates time gateways and the creatures that emerge from them. But will UK audiences take to an overseas variant? Well, helping us through the transition is Andrew-Lee Potts, who played Primeval’s cutie-nerd Connor Temple – who pops up to give Vancouver’s anomaly novices a stern warning.
