American Primeval creator has just made Netflix's 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.

Netflix's new crime thriller is the best of 2025 so far for one key reason
Netflix's new drama Untamed wastes no time with boring throat-clearing up top. Time is of the essence: we only have six episodes to piece together who killed the young woman we see tumble off a cliff in the very first scene. Set in the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park (at least in the B-roll, the show was filmed in British Columbia), we zoom in to the hulking granite monolith El Capitan. A couple of climbing aficionados are trying to scale the thing. The sheer rockface has claimed over 30 lives, including seasoned climbers, and is about to add another victim to the tally when an unidentified woman falls down into the climbers' tangle of ropes, belays and carabiners. It's a stomach-snatching opener. The park rangers who respond on the scene are quickly usurped by the grizzled gunslinger Kyle Turner (Eric Bana), a parks special agent who strolls in on a horse ('Here comes Gary Cooper') to tell them they're all doing their jobs wrong. Among the lowly ranger class is Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago, providing welcome light relief), a newcomer from the Los Angeles force who's taking endless slack for it. Despite an aversion to horse-riding and a naivety about the park, she finagles her way onto the Jane Doe case with Turner.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Turner's boss Paul Souter (Sam Neill) and everyone else in the department is keen to write the death off as a suicide. But Turner suspects there's more to it. None-spoilery-spoiler: he's right. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Created by Elle Smith and Mark L Smith (The Revenant scribe, so no stranger to conjuring an unforgiving setting), Untamed at first glance looks like another bog-standard police procedural. But what puts it head and shoulders above any of the crime thrillers Netflix has offered up so far this year – and more in the leagues of Broadchurch or Mare of Easttown – is the inventive setting, with a cast singing in perfect harmony. World-weariness and – we later discover, although clues are there from the start – family tragedy show in Turner's every interaction. He barely smiles. He often doesn't reply to people. He lives in a cabin teeming with packing boxes, unclear whether he's coming or going (it certainly does not have that box-fresh look a lot of Netflix homes do). He has a habit of calling his ex-wife Jill (Rosemarie DeWitt) at 2.30am to muse over the tatters of their once-happy lives. He's the quintessential difficult detective and it's some of Bana's best work. You completely forget this is Prince Hector, the Hulk or King Henry VIII. This is Kyle Turner and he's going through it. It's no easy task he's up against. Trying to enforce the rule of law on this wilderness is a fool's errand. Turner lays it out pretty succinctly himself: 'This park's the size of Rhode Island. It's got five separate highway entrances, bringing in over 100,000 people a week.' This is a place where CCTV is thin on the ground and the forensic experts called in are the type who specialise in vultures that pick over human remains (which happens to more than one person). Traversing this colossal haystack to find the slightest of clues can only be done on horseback or by chopper. More Trending At a distance, the park looks desolate. But amongst the trees, waterfalls and deer-filled meadows are pockets of civilisation that Turner and Vasquez brush up against, as they try to figure out who the dead woman was and, later, who killed her. Everything and everyone is real. And most of them are suspects. Because for all its beauty, the park invites a frightening lawlessness. 'Something about putting people in the wilderness – they figure nobody's watching, so they do whatever bad stuff pops in their head,' says ranger Bruce Milch (William Smillie, with more light relief), explaining the deaths and disappearances that happen with alarming regularity. As the twists and turns take shape, bringing into question unsolved cases from years gone by, Untamed becomes a show you will struggle to look away from. You will gasp. You will sweat. And you'll come away wishing there might have been more throat-clearing up top after all. View More » Untamed is available to stream on Netflix. Got a story?

Nick Kyrgios and Mia Dalkos continue to fuel romance rumours as they holiday in the Bahamas together
Nick Kyrgios has continued to fuel romance rumours with Mia Dalkos as the pair apparently holiday together in the Bahamas. The tennis champ, 30, first sparked chatter of a relationship with the Love Island star, 23, after leaving some flirty comments on her Instagram in May. Despite reps for Nick denying the rumours, it appears the pair have very similar tastes when it comes to holiday destinations. Nick took to his Instagram story this week to share some photos showing him enjoying some downtime in the Bahamas. He shared one photo that showed an idyllic poolside location at his digs at The Island House in Nassau. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Nick also shared a second photo, this time a mirror selfie, that showed him looking pensive as he posed. 'Back home in the Bahamas. Making me darkkkkkk,' he wrote, augmenting the comment with the Bahamian flag. In what was possibly a remarkable coincidence, Mia was also on her Instagram story this week, sharing a short clip that showed her POV from a car, which was travelling along a coastal road. The reality star captioned the clip with: 'Nassau, Bahamas,' with a silver love heart emoji. She also shared a photo, prior to the clip, that showed her standing in front of a gym holding a basketball – also coincidentally another sport for which Nick has displayed a passion. The Bahamas trip comes after Mia, whose real name is Efthimia Dalkos, first attracted the athlete's attention in May. A spark first seemed to appear on May 25 when Mia posted a video of herself at the hair salon, looking the spitting image of Nick's ex-partner, Costeen Hatzi Nick left a flirty eye emoji beneath the post and Mia promptly responded with her own cheeky smiling emoji. Nick took to his Instagram story this week to share some photos which showed him enjoying some downtime in the Bahamas Nick also shared a second photo, this time a mirror selfie, that showed him looking pensive as he posed. 'Back home in the Bahamas. Making me darkkkkkk,' he wrote, The following day, Mia shared a gallery of photos from her sister's wedding as she stepped out at the ceremony in a stunning black dress. 'Beautiful,' Nick wrote beneath the images, to which Mia also responded with a red love heart. Just a few days later, a fan noticed the flirty exchange and asked: 'Are you guys dating now?' Neither Nick nor Mia have publicly confirmed anything outside of these exchanges. When Daily Mail Australia reached out to Nick's representatives for comment, they assured the pair is just 'good friends' who have known each other for some time. 'They have known each other for a while and are good friends! Big Gordon Ramsay fans also,' the spokesperson said. Mia, who appeared on Love Island Australia last year, made headlines in December when she enraged fans by admitting her relationship on the show was fake and she was then romantically involved with a man named Christo. The admission followed months of fervent online speculation that one of the 2024 female contestants had applied for the reality dating show multiple times, despite having a boyfriend of six years named Christo. She also shared a photo, prior to the clip, that showed her standing in front of a gym holding a basketball – also coincidentally another sport for which Nick has displayed a passion Taking to her Instagram Stories in December after the show wrapped, Mia shocked fans by confirming she and co-star Niko Fotopoulos 'were never together'. 'No, we're not still together. We actually never were together officially. We spoke for a few weeks after the villa but yeah, nah. We're civil. That's it,' she said in response to a fan question. The brunette beauty also clapped back at rumours she'd had a long-term boyfriend before the series. In doing so, she named her current partner: 'His name is Christo.' 'We were on talking terms. We were not in a committed relationship. He's talking to others. I'm talking to others,' Mia said as she shot down the allegations. 'We're very civil and we're actually friends. People just love to talk a lot of s*** though. Those rumours, man.'
