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.

Where was ‘Untamed' filmed? The unexpected locations behind Netflix's Eric Bana mystery
A body falls from a cliff at Yosemite National Park. Could it be a mountain climbing accident or a wild coyote attack? Or does a deeper conspiracy brew in the California park's forests? Eric Bana's special agent Kyle Turner gets to the case in Untamed, Netflix's six-episode miniseries created by Mark L Smith. This isn't the Oscar-nominated screenwriter's first figurative trek through the American wilderness. Smith's previous credits include Leonardo DiCaprio survival drama The Revenant and this year's brutal Netflix western American Primeval. With Untamed, Smith trades his period settings for a more modern timeline, but the tension remains the same. Fans of slow-burning mysteries like Mare of Easttown and True Detective will be hooked on Agent Turner approaching closer to the truth, oozing style with his greyed beard and horseback riding skills. But if you're wondering where Untamed was actually filmed, a few surprises await. Was Untamed actually filmed at Yosemite National Park? Surprisingly not. Set almost entirely in Yosemite, Eric Bana's brooding cop Kyle Turner describes the California wilderness as 'the size of Rhode Island' with 'five separate highway entrances'. But none of the national park actually features in Untamed. Instead, the show's crew set up camp mostly in Canada to film the series – and specifically the province of British Columbia. The Canadian province's valleys, cliffs, and wilderness all doubled convincingly to recreate the green beauty and granite roughness of Yosemite National Park. Mount Seymour Untamed opens with a mountain climbing expedition gone wrong as a body falls off from the top of a cliff. In the show, this cliff is supposed to represent El Capitan, a granite monolith in Yosemite National Park. To recreate El Capitan, Untamed 's production team relied on Mount Seymour. Overlooking the city of Vancouver, the mountain is a popular hiking spot much like the California summit it's supposed to mimic in the show. Some of the areas around Seymour were also incorporated in the Yosemite scenes. Murdo Frazer Park Cabin, North Vancouver Pemberton Avenue is full of cosy-looking properties, but none of them preserve time and ooze a sense of mysticism like this log cabin in the middle of the woods. So, it seems fitting for this location to serve as Agent Turner's own personal cabin. He leads a solitary, ascetic life in this cabin conveniently nestled within wooded trails, creeks, and a spot for him to 'park' his horse. While the log cabin hosts the caretakers of the Murdo Fraser Park, it's a popular filming location now. Previous shows to be filmed here include Supernatural, ABC's Once Upon A Time, and Stargate SG-1. Whistler Olympic Park As its name suggests, the Whistler Olympic Park hosted parts of the 2010 Winter Olympics with events like ski jumping and cross-country skiing. Since the Olympics, it has turned into a public facility. Netflix features the park – outside of snowy season – as one of the many stand-ins for Yosemite National Park. Grace Lake This quaint lake in British Columbia stands in for Grouse Lake, a Yosemite Park lake notorious for its paranormal history. Legend has it that the park's first ranger heard noises of a boy drowning in the lake. Since then, the boy's ghost lures in people to their deaths. This spooky connection is apt for Turner's investigations, as he is haunted by not just the death of the mountain climber from El Capitan but also someone close from his past. Greenwood Park Another park that proved crucial for exterior Yosemite shots was North Vancouver's Greenwood Park. The park's many forested trails feature in Untamed as Kyle Turner and the other forest rangers scrounge for evidence. Deloca Farm, Deroche As Turner collaborates with newly transferred forest ranger Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago), the duo's findings lead them to a squatter community that leads a hippie-like existence under a cultish leader. The group's open-air base was filmed at Deloca Farm in Deroche. The irony is that Deroche actually hosts an idyllic farming community with a scant population of roughly 140 people. Nita Lake Lodge Yosemite's connection with Indigenous populations and cultures compels Turner to dig deeper into the region's past. His trail leads him to the Yan-O-Pah Hotel, a fancy resort built on Indigenous land and covered in artworks from the local tribes. Nita Lake Lodge, a boutique hotel and spa in Whistler, British Columbia, serves as the setting for the Yan-O-Pah. Interestingly, 'Yan-O-Pah' is the original name of the Vernal Fall, used by the indigenous Miwok people of Yosemite Valley. The name directly translates to 'Valley of the Yosemite' or 'little cloud'. Eagles Hall, Maple Ridge The Eagles Hall in Maple Ridge is a prime spot for hosting public gatherings and weddings. But the hall's wooden architecture was perfect to set up as a base for the Forest Rangers in Untamed. Cheakamus River and 'Balls to the Wall' Waterfall As Turner and Vasquez get closer to the truth, the forest cops indulge in plenty of hiking across forest trails and waterfalls. The Cheakamus River features in these scenes, with its gushing torrents and towering fir and cedars. The river itself is a tributary of the larger Squamish River. Filming also took place at the 'Balls to the Wall' waterfall, a free-flowing drop in the river's middle section that's a popular spot for adventurous paddlers. Who stars in Untamed? Untamed is led by Eric Bana, the Australian star of Troy and Hulk. The role of a divorced, morbid forest agent like Kyle Turner suits Bana, considering his acclaimed turn as a grieving federal agent in the Australian thriller The Dry and its sequel, Force of Nature. Joining Bana is New Zealander Sam Neill. The Jurassic Park and Peaky Blinders star plays Paul Souter, the chief park ranger at Yosemite who has served in the park for half his life. Lily Santiago stars as Naya Vasquez, the Yosemite ranger squad's latest member. Support comes from The Staircase actress Rosemarie DeWitt as Turner's ex-wife and a former counsellor. Meanwhile, fresh off his role as Bullseye in Daredevil: Born Again, Wilson Bethel takes aim as an ex-soldier who now serves as the park's wildlife management officer. When can I watch Untamed?
