Our Call: STREAM IT. The setting and unique law enforcement politics, along with solid performances by Bana, Neill, DeWitt and Santiago, make Untamed 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.

Netflix's mystery thriller Untamed may have just only dropped onto the streaming service but eager fans have already binged the whole lot - as they make the same comment

Netflix's latest Western saga Untamed is penned by American Primeval creator Mark L. Smith, which also ruled the platform's charts upon its debut.

Untamed on Netflix ends with shocking secrets about Jane Doe’s identity, a hidden family secret, and Kyle Turner’s emotional journey. Here’s the full ending explained.

In Untamed episode 5, Turner's confrontation with Shane leads to his suspension, but a shocking discovery breaks the Lucy Cook case wide open.

Netflix’s Untamed opens with a woman’s body crashing into a climber’s rope line on El Capitan. That’s not a stretch of the imagination.

Given just how many modern dramas are based on true stories, and the level of authenticity established by co-creators Mark L Smith (American Primeval, The Revenant) and his daughter Elle Smith (The Marsh King’s Daughter), you might have found yourself wondering if how Untamed came to be.

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.
