Pure distilled Genndy genius - bringing his unparalleled mastery of 2D animation to this gloriously stripped-back expressionistic prehistoric fantasy epic. There's a drifting central narrative, but much like Samurai Jack it's split into different episodic meditations on genre. You know the fare, epic battles, heart-breaking asides, disturbing encounters, stunning set-pieces. It's a fantastic watch but what makes it really special is the art direction - the use of colour is iconic and stunning, the character design is incredible and the landscapes can be legitimately breath-taking. Sometimes I just paused the show to drink it all in. It's just pure art basically and if you're even remotely interested in animation then get this into your eyes and mind. Cannot wait for more.
