Primeval was everything I was dreaming when I was twelve years old ,it had time travel, dinosaurs and in general prehistoric beast, science and good drama. The first and second seasons are close to be some of the most amazing television program I had seen and I was pump of my mind when the third season started and here we go down hill very ,very fast and in just 10 episodes these amazing world got tangled and lost its steam.
The main reason for that was it focus too much after season 2 to the drama among the people and yes some drama is good but ,when your series started with hunting prehistoric creatures ,which came out of anomalies in time and space then I am pretty sure that audience will lose its stem. And it lost indeed ,because people want to see how we react when dinosaur come out of the blue and attack us and not the relationship of the leader with his wife and her lover / left hand of her husband. Also don't forget the evil company ,because what it is a science fiction series with out a villainous organization? Better.
In short when you are in your teens may look nice but nowadays I think that it was like so many show which started strong and in the middle they should have ended it the ordeal ,but no because we deed viewers. If you program doesn't worth the time, them it won't happen and the scientific inaccuracies which after season 3 when through the roof don't help.
So a nostalgia killer sure and if you want to study who to make a good time travel series watch it in order to see what not to do and the Doctor Who to see what to do.
