Watch of the Week: Untamed

"Untamed" is a new miniseries starring Eric Bana and Sam Neill set in Yosemite National Park but filmed in Canada. The show opens with a thrilling scene of two abseilers in danger, setting the tone for the series.

The story follows park officer Kyle Turner (Bana) and newcomer Naya (Lily Santiago) as they investigate the death of a young woman named Lucy, uncovering a web of secrets and dangers in the park. The series explores themes of wildness and control, with the Canadian landscape standing in for California's Yosemite.

The show, created by Mark and Elle Smith, delves into the darker aspects of human nature and society. While the plot may seem familiar, the strong performances of Bana and Santiago make "Untamed" a compelling watch likely to top Netflix charts.
