Deeply layered and gripping, “Untamed” is a brilliant detective tale anchored by some of our worst human impulses.
Having watched all six episodes, I would never have guessed the outcome or the guilty party. Ultimately, it is a series which transcends, with ease, its central cliché.

This was a wild ride, and I was immediately drawn into it from episode one to an unexpected streaming binge that I am so glad I decided to dive in and go with flow on. This is a fantastic series with great actors and a compelling storyline paired with breathtaking scenery, and shockingly unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time!

justa good show the way they used to make a decade ago.
that is this show.
Report
Bana is riveting as the lead, DeWitt gives the series the saga the pathos it begs for, Santiago measures up as more than a “Training Day” trainee and Bethel, Trujillo and Neill shine in support...They lift “Untamed” to the level of “a good beach read,” in miniseries form, a trip to Yosemite focused purely on everything that can go wrong there and the people who have to piece together what happened when it does.
The kind of show you might turn on as a distraction instead of a show that requires close watching. But it’s an entertaining distraction, with just enough story to keep things moving.
The premise promises more than what ultimately gets delivered in this disjointed, semi-compelling six-part series.
It leans harder and harder on murder-mystery tropes that have all but exhausted their utility. By the end, “Untamed” can only offer more of the same, despite ample opportunity to provide something “different.”
It's surprising and disappointing in equal measure to announce that the show is such a muted and limp affair that none of the characters or performances really ultimately amount to much.
The case itself loses its urgency as the show moves forward and becomes character driven. Bana and Neill turn in competent if uninspiring performances, but it is Vasquez who we really toot for here. Rosemarie DeWitt continues to asyound me in her ability yo get cast in anything. The best I've seen her is in Madmen and that is also the last performance worth a damn. She has instead adopted this dreamy detached form of acting that does little more than frustrate. Im not even sure why she was in this other than as the mom. We are robbed of the one thing that makes her character interesting by reducing it to an anecdote. The rest is procedural and this could have been a solid movie vs. a mini series. There are a lot of subplots that lead nowhere, and the final reveal is more meh than shocking.

The opening scene with climbers scaling El Capitan launches this series with a riveting sequence. There are a few other tense moments sprinkled thru the show, but they become less impressive as it progresses. Eric Bana plays an investigator at Yosemite (actually shot in Canada). After a woman is found dead, he and his new assistant from LA (Lily Santiago) start working the case. This series is basically a traditional cop procedural in a beautiful natural setting. Bana’s character is given two flaws (neither one original) and subsequently plays the role grave and grim. Santiago manages to add a lively personality, even though she’s also given a personal burden to overcome. These individual issues add more formula drama. The origins of the mystery aren’t especially original and by the last episode, the credibility starts to wane. Ultimately, this is a high-end cop series set in a beautiful location (considering recent budget cuts, this well-staffed National Park is sadly ironic).
