Untamed first reviews: Critics call the Eric Bana-starrer ‘beautiful but predictable'
Even though many don't agree with whatever Netflix is doing in the Indian market, their international shows are doing exceptionally well. After the success of Adolescence and How To Have Sex, their new mini-series Untamed, starring the original Hector of Troy, Eric Bana, is generating buzz. It seems that for the most part Netflix has another winner on their hands, but Untamed is definitely not walking out of the reviews unscathed. Created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith, the show follows the story of investigative services branch special agent Kyle Turner (Bana), who is tasked with investigating the death of a female rock climber. While people believe that the climber fell to her death, Turner feels something mysterious is afoot and takes along a rookie agent, Vasquez, to investigate the accident. In the six-episode show, the two give a tour of the entire Yosemite National Park while trying to solve this case, and some reviews suggest that this is just Netflix's attempt to have their own Yellowstone. TV critic Judy Berman from Time Magazine says, 'Almost certainly a product of audiences' addiction to detective procedurals and streamers' desperation to find their own Yellowstone, the series is, as written and acted, mediocre. It's worth watching, though, if you're fascinated by the inner workings of a place like Yosemite.' ALSO READ: The Bear Season 4 review: Jeremy Allen White serves a three-course season but Ayo Edebiri is the one 'cooking' The Guardian sort of doubles down on this premise and calls the show a 'blunt force thriller which is beautiful but predictable.' THR wasn't entirely convinced by the show, as they think that the series felt too tightly closed and the narrative at times feels rushed. Apart from this, almost all the reviews maintain the fact that the series has too many clichés present in it that take away that unique punch which it had the potential of packing. While many of the reviews have deemed the series as something which lacks depth, almost all the reviews call the series worth a watch. The cast of the series includes Eric Bana, Sam Neill, Rosemarie DeWitt, Lily Santiago, Wilson Bethel, William Smillie, and Josh Randall.

Manny Pacquiao's Poignant Perseverance in the Boxing Ring
I shouldn't be so chagrined that Manny Pacquiao is re-entering a Las Vegas boxing ring this weekend for a professional fight at the age of 46. After all, I recently wrote a meditation on persevering through the ravages of age and physical decline. I've admired Pacquiao for years and trailed him around New York City for a Time magazine cover story in 2009. He was the most recognizable Filipino on earth at the time, a distinction that everyone from the islands — where I was born — was proud. And there was so much to be proud of. Born into extreme poverty on the island of Mindanao, he was — at the height of his career — a whirlwind of prowess and prosperity, with the relentless voracity of the videogame that became his nickname: Pac-Man. One estimate has his net worth at more than $200 million, out of earnings from the sport and endorsements as high as half-a-billion dollars. His 2015 battle with nemesis Floyd Mayweather Jr. still holds the record for most pay-per-view sales: 4.6 million. He is literally pound-for-pound the greatest pugilist of our time: the only boxer in history to hold championships in eight different weight classes. When I reported on him in 2009, he'd already won six and was preparing to win his seventh — in the welterweight division. That was 40 pounds (640 ounces, or 18.1 kilograms) heavier than the 107-pound flyweight class he began his career with 11 years before. He claimed the eighth — the super welterweight, which has a top limit of 154 pounds — in 2019 when he was 40 years old.

‘A Return to Self' Review: At Home in the World
At the end of 'A Return to Self: Excursions in Exile,' Aatish Taseer gives thanks to a host of people who made his book possible: editors, agents, facilitators of various kinds, friends and guides, even a barber in Uzbekistan. He should have also named Narendra Modi, India's prime minister, without whom his book would not have come to be. Mr. Modi, it could be said, is the book's midwife, and thanking him would have been pointedly droll. In November 2019, Mr. Modi's government revoked the British-born Mr. Taseer's Overseas Citizenship of India, thus banishing him from the country he'd grown up in, a land where he had lived for 30 of his (then) 40 years. India was his mother's country and, in many ways, his own motherland, a place where he longed to belong. What provoked this Indian ire? In May 2019, days before Mr. Modi won his second term, Time magazine published a cover story by Mr. Taseer about the man titled 'India's Divider in Chief.' The article, Mr. Taseer writes, 'enraged the prime minister' and sent his supporters 'into a fury.' Mr. Modi, a hardline Hindu nationalist, isn't a kind or forgiving man. Retribution was now certain. The story then gets murky and Mr. Taseer's book doesn't shed enough light on it. Under India's rules, a person with a Pakistani parent is ineligible for Indian Overseas Citizenship; yet Mr. Taseer had somehow secured one. He doesn't tell us how. Were strings pulled? After all, he is (as he puts it) the 'love child' of his mother, an Indian journalist, and Salman Taseer, a Pakistani politician. The elder Taseer was assassinated in 2011 by one of his own bodyguards for defending a Christian woman accused of blasphemy against Islam.

Yulia Svyrydenko - The Economist Who Will Lead Ukraine's Wartime Government
Ukraine: Yulia Svyrydenko, who championed a vital economic accord between Ukraine and the United States, defines a generation of young Ukrainian politicians who have steered their country through the tumult of war. The 39-year-old, who was appointed to lead Ukraine's teetering economy just months before the Kremlin launched its full-scale assault in February 2022, was put forward on Monday by President Volodymyr Zelensky to be the country's next prime minister. Svyrydenko gained prominence this year during fraught negotiations around the minerals deal that nearly derailed ties between Kyiv and its most important military ally. The deal was central to a disastrous televised spat between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump in February 2025. But Svyrydenkonot long after travelled to Washington to finalise the agreement that many Ukrainians hoped would placate Trump by giving him a sellable victory and ensure more critical US support for Kyiv. "She was the key and the only person leading these negotiations. She managed to prevent them from unravelling," said Tymofiy Mylovanov, a former economy minister who worked with Svyrydenko. Mylovanov, who now heads the Kyiv School of Economics, said Svyrydenko preferred a level-headed approach to politics and avoided confrontations. "She's professional. She keeps her cool," he added in comments to AFP. 'Young, smart, determined' She would be taking over the helm at a precarious moment for the country that is exhausted after more than three years of full-scale war and dependent on allies broad for its survival. The role of prime minister does not typically include a say on military strategy or the frontline war effort, where Zelensky and his military chiefs call the shots. Yet Svyrydenko is central to a young generation of Ukrainian leaders, like Zelensky, who have steered the country through the Russian invasion and contrast starkly with the Soviet-styled elites that dominate in Russia. She was not yet 30 when the Kremlin helped foment a violent overthrow of authorities in eastern Ukraine, as popular protests demanded Kyiv pursue closer integration with Europe. And her native region of Chernigiv, which borders Russia and its war ally Belarus, was briefly occupied at the start of the invasion launched in February 2022. "Svyrydenko is emblematic of the Ukrainian people's resilience," then-US Secretary of Commerce Rina Raimondo wrote of her in Time Magazine in 2023. "With young, smart, and determined leaders like her at the helm, Ukraine's postwar future is looking brighter than ever," Raimondo added. In infrequent public appearances Svyrydenko is soft-spoken but communicates purposefully at a break-neck-pace in Ukrainian or accented English. She also moved through the ranks of government quickly, after graduating with honours from the National University of Trade and Economics and a brief spell in the private sector. She held a variety of posts in her native Chernigiv region before being appointed by presidential decree as deputy head of the president's office in 2020. Less than one year later, she became a deputy prime minister and economy minister. Ukrainian media has reported that Svyrydenko has long held political ambitions. RBC-Ukraine, a business publication, said that Zelensky had blocked her previous attempts to become prime minister, citing sources that she would be better-suited to the role in a post-war period. Svyrydenko has said that civil service was a part of her life since childhood, when both her parents worked in government. "I saw how they devoted themselves to serving the community, how their hometown and its improvement were their core values," she recently told Ukrainian media.
