Real life version of Netflix's Untamed is ‘must see TV for true crime fans'
Fans of the genre will be instantly hooked The real life version of Netflix's new crime drama is said to be 'must see TV for true crime fans'. Untamed has only just been released on the major streaming platform and is already gaining positive reception from fans and critics alike. It has been dubbed as the best show of 2025 so far by some reviewers, while others have said it is perfect for fans of Yellowstone and American Primeval. A six-part limited series, the show stars Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature's vast wilderness. He launches an investigation into the mysterious death of a young woman which sends him on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past. What might surprise viewers is that Bana's character's job is a real occupation in the United States. There really are dedicated officers, who investigate serious crimes that occur in one of the country's National Parks. They are also referred to as the ISB. According to the National Parks Service website: "The special agents of the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch (ISB) are a specialised and highly trained team of criminal investigators. Together with program and victim support specialists as well as an intelligence analyst, the team works year-round and around the clock to investigate complex, sensitive, and long-term cases for crimes throughout the national park system. ISB personnel are stationed among America's more than 420 national parks and report directly to NPS headquarters in Washington, D.C." Untamed isn't the first series that have focused on these investigations. Wild Crime, is a docuseries currently available to stream on Disney+ that "chronicles this uniquely qualified team that leads the investigations as they seek to bring law and order to some of America's most rugged and remote landscapes." All four seasons are currently streaming and each tackles a different case. Season one opens with Harold Henthor's 911 call to report that his wife Toni has been gravely injured after falling off of a cliff on a remote trail. However, the investigation unearths that there may be to this accident and soon examines Henthor's first wife and more. In its second season, a hand is found in Yosemite. A serial killer confesses but he's lied about committing hundreds of murders--is this one real, or a false confession? In the third instalment, the series retells the case of Meredith Emerson, who went for a hike on a trail in Pisgah National Park and never returned. Was she injured, abducted, or the victim of a serial killer who stalked National Parks? Then a woman goes missing from a National Forest in Florida, a couple vanish in a National Forest in North Carolina, and a young woman disappears from a National Forest in Georgia. Are the cases connected? Wild Crime's fourth season picks up after an Alaska barista goes missing along with some cash. Surveillance video shows her walking away with a man. A text sent from her phone says she needs time to think but her dad is suspicious. Was she abducted? Police aren't sure, until a note arrives. While not earning enough reviews for a score on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has overall received positive feedback from viewers. One posted online: "Fresh, seamless show about how these khaki and chukka boot wearing superheroes gather evidence, reconstruct crime scenes, and seek justice for the victims, against the majestic backdrop of our nation's most impressive natural landscapes and skylines. THIS is must-see tv for true crime fans." One review sums up the unique appeal to Wild Crime, and its one that it seems to share with Netflix's Untamed. That it focuses on a little known investigative team. They said: "If you're looking for a true crime doc that'll keep you engaged with plenty of new twists, Wild Crime will do the trick. You're getting every aspect of this case, with an added look into life as a Rocky Mountains ranger." While continuing: "That's the bonus appeal of Wild Crime. Even though the true crime story is pretty tame and a little stale, watching the park experts delve into the accident makes it worthwhile. There are 84 million acres of national parks that need to be patrolled, and how many members of the ISB are there in total? A meek 34. It's incredible to imagine these folks tackling that much land mass, and on top of that, their job isn't exactly easy. They've got to climb uphill, take perilous journeys into the wilderness, and risk their lives to protect us from harm's way."

‘Untamed' takes the gritty murder mystery to a new locale: Yosemite National Park
Within minutes of his arrival at the crime scene, Turner establishes himself as the most competent agent in the park — and also the most unpopular, as he swiftly alienates his colleagues with his standoffish behavior. Only his longtime boss and mentor Paul Souter (Sam Neill) has the patience to put up with his attitude. That is, until Turner gets paired up with an energetic rookie, former LAPD cop Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago), who needs to learn the ropes of solving crimes in the wilderness. Her first lesson requires her to travel by horse instead of car, a strategy that Turner argues is crucial for tracking clues through rough terrain. (L to R) Sam Neill as Paul Souter, Eric Bana as Kyle Turner. Ricardo Hubbs/Netflix/RICARDO HUBBS/NETFLIX Created by screenwriters Mark L. Smith ('American Primeval') and Elle Smith ('The Marsh King's Daughter'), 'Untamed' is more polished and mature than your average Netflix original, but it isn't exactly breaking new ground. Virtually every element of this miniseries is founded on a well-worn genre cliché, from the interplay between the gruff Turner and his upbeat sidekick to the structure of their investigation, uncovering sordid secrets about the deceased Jane Doe. As Turner tries to figure out what the woman was doing in Yosemite and how she came to die, he must also confront the fallout of an old, unsolved case that continues to haunt his career. Advertisement Best known for co-writing the Oscar-winning Leonardo DiCaprio Western ' Opening with a terrifically perilous rock-climbing scene, 'Untamed' leans into its title, constantly reminding us of the dangers of the Yosemite landscape. Epic in scope, the park spans hundreds of thousands of acres, full of mountains and forests where a person could easily die or vanish without trace. Yet there's still a small-town vibe to Turner's interactions with the locals; a diverse population that includes National Parks employees, hippie squatters and a Native American community, many of whom he's known for years. Given what you know of Kyle Turner so far, you probably won't be surprised to hear that he lives alone in a log cabin, drunk-dialing his ex-wife ( Advertisement Among the supporting cast, Lily Santiago provides a relatable counterpoint to Turner, and we meet a handful of memorable side-characters, including Wilson Bethel as a suspicious, gun-toting Yosemite local. Neill, the other big name star attached to the project, is given shockingly little to do for most of the season, to the point where you may wonder what he's doing there. Tapping into the UNTAMED Starring: Eric Bana, Sam Neill, Lily Santiago, Rosemary DeWitt. On Netflix

American Primeval creator has made Untamed - Netflix's answer to True Detective that could last for years
Our review of Netflix's latest crime thriller The creator of hit American Primeval have just made Netflix's version of True Detective and it could last for years, despite its limited series status. All six episodes of Untamed are now available to watch on the major streamer as of today (July 17). It is easily a must binge watch show for this weekend for any fans of the two previously mentioned shows. According to the brief synopsis shared by Netflix, the crime thriller is based amidst the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park. A woman's suspicious death draws a federal agent into lawless terrain, where nature obeys no rules but its own. Untamed was created and written by father daughter team, Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith. Smith senior previously wrote the screenplays for The Revenant, for which Leonardo DiCaprio finally picked up an Oscar, and Twisters. He also created the historical drama American Primeval, which was a hit for Netflix earlier in the year. Together, the duo look to have repeated and offered up the closest thing to True Detective Netflix has been able to provide among all its binge worthy crime dramas and declared themselves as two of the steamer's must follow creatives. If anything they write next is as addictive as Untamed, I'll be there day one. True Detective is known for its A-list cast list and Untamed certainly competes in that area itself. It is lead by Australian actor Eric Bana, who has starred in Troy, The Time Traveller's Wife and played the Hulk before the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is supported by Jurassic Park star Sam Neill, Wilson Bethel who also plays Bullseye in the Daredevil television series along with Rosemarie DeWitt and Lily Santiago. Together, along with a central mystery that follows many twists and turns, the series throws up a story even more gripping than any other murder mystery. In fact, I found myself gripped harder than any of True Detective's four seasons, which often fell by the wayside. There's no such danger here, with the Netflix series determined to clear everything up. Untamed, also like the HBO show, makes understated use of the supernatural and local folklore. It would spoil an early plot point to explain in detail how this is but while True Detective might thrust the ghost stories in the viewers' faces, Untamed keeps them rightfully in the shadows to reflect on its characters and spectacular setting. A clear benefit of setting a show in one of the US' celebrated National Parks is that some of the shots used can be as dramatic or intimate as desired. While Mark Smith's previous Netflix success, American Primeval, took advantage of its setting in its time period, Untamed does similar with its locality. Untamed only ever slows down to allow viewers to appreciate the glimpse of some of the best scenes nature allows. A look behind the scenes of some sequences would be fascinating, and hopefully wouldn't break my heart in revealing any green screen magic. Despite the fact that this is being billed as a limited series for Netflix, Untamed could easily go on for years. Its premise of federal agents investigating serious crimes taking place within a national park they are based is almost too good not to be turned into an anthology. It certainly wouldn't be the strangest series Netflix could renew. The United States has 63 National Parks and Yosemite, which serves as the locale for Untamed, is only the 19th largest. Considering that, it feels like the potential for follow ups, whether they be tied directly or be complete standalone stories in other Parks is endless.
