Season 1, culminating in the episode "The Primal Theory," is a masterclass in visual storytelling. The show is famous for its lack of dialogue. For the vast majority of the season, the only spoken words are guttural screams, roars, or the occasional incantation by a primitive witch doctor.

The 2021 distribution of Season 1—often circulated in standard HD 720p formats—serves as an accessible gateway to what is arguably one of the most distinct audio-visual experiments of the decade.
