Untamed viewers all say the same thing about Netflix crime series in first few seconds
Netflix fans are all settling down to watch new crime series Untamed tonight - and they're all saying the same thing just a few seconds into watching.
All six episodes in the series dropped today (July 17) and many Netflix fans have already binged the whole lot. The limited series, stars Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, an Investigative Services Branch agent of the National Parks Service. He's on the hunt for a killer who knows Yosemite National Park as well as he does.
However, with a number of twists and turns, dark secrets in the park's past may prove just as dangerous as the murderer...
The series wastes no time getting straight into the action, as during the first episode of the series, Kyle doubts a woman's fatal fall from El Captain was an accident - as he believes the truth lies deeper within Yosemite.
While we won't give anything away just yet, fans are all rushing to X, formerly known as Twitter to praise the series, with many saying they're already "hooked" within the first few moments.
"I'm already hooked on #Untamed," said one, while another said: "3 minutes of the #Untamed series & I'm already hooked."
A third penned: "Just got to the end of episode 3. What a show, so far," as a fourth agreed: " #UntamedNetflix is such a great series."
Joining Bana in the star studded cast is Jurassic Park star Sam Neil as Paul Souter. Souter has been the chief park ranger in Yosemite half his life and is a close friend to Turner. Also starring in the cast is Lily Santiago as young police officer Naya Vasquez and Daredevil star Wilson Bethel as Shane Maguire.
Earlier in the year, fans were treated to a nail-biting trailer, which heard Bana commentate: "People come here to explore, see maybe 10% of the park," later adding: "Things happen different out here."
The series is said to be perfect for those who were gripped by Yellowstone and American Primeval - with fans sure to be hooked in within seconds.
Fans have been waiting at the edge of their sofas ever since the trailer dropped earlier this month, with Eric Bana fans rushing to the comments to express their excitement.

Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham join for Adolescence-like show
The new drama promises to be "gritty" and "unflinching" in its approach, according to an insider. EastEnders star Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham working together on an Adolescence-like show Talking with The Mirror, the source said: "They are currently thrashing out what they want to do. It'll be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.' Adolescence, which was co-created and co-written by This Is England favourite Stephen Graham, recently broke records when it premiered on Netflix, seeing it become the most-watched show of the year. The Four-part series starts with the arrest of 13-year-old Jamie (played by Owen Cooper) when armed police storm the family home. Over the course of the show, it explores misogyny among teenage boys. The Last time Graham and EastEnders star Danny Dyer worked together was all the way back in 2009, when they both starred in the British slapstick horror film Doghouse. Recommended Reading: Previously, Danny called on Stephen to get him involved in one of his projects and praised Adolesence. Danny said: 'It's such an important subject, but the fact they're doing it in one take. As an actor and being part of that world I find it f****** incredible. "So, Steve, you've got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this!'

'I've read over 100 books so far in 2025 — these are the five I couldn't put down'
I would describe myself as a lifelong reader, but my passion for books really ramped up in 2024, when I went from reading a book a month to devouring several novels a week. As a new mum at the time, I naturally found myself spending a lot more time at home in the evenings, and having exhausted Netflix, I instead turned to my bookshelf for entertainment. Fast-forward 18 months and while I now have a bit more time on my hands, my favourite evening activity is still sitting down and diving into a good book. So far this year, I've read just over 100 books, including short stories, hefty fantasies and eye-opening memoirs, as well as a healthy dose of romance novels. I always tend to have a physical book on the go at the same time as a Kindle read, but a few books have totally stopped me in my tracks, grabbing my attention and refusing to let go until I reached the final page. Here are five such books I simply couldn't put down. For more book recommendations, reviews and news, subscribe to our free weekly newsletter, The Bookish Drop, on Substack. 1. Open Wide by Jessica Gross A young woman becomes so obsessed with her boyfriend she literally climbs inside of him. That's the wild premise of Jessica Gross' latest novel, Open Wide. Radio host Olive has always struggled to connect with people, secretly recording her conversations to decipher social cues. But when one day surgeon Theo turns up for a shift at the food pantry where she volunteers, she finally feels understood and accepted. As their relationship develops, so too does Olive's fascination with the gap between Theo's front teeth, which is just wide enough for something—or someone—to slip inside. I enjoy a bit of weird girl fiction, the more unconventional and eccentric the better. But I was absolutely obsessed with this book, and took it with me everywhere I went. It's so unique, and unpacks themes of intimacy, consent and love in such an interesting way. You can pre-order Open Wide, publishing on August 7, here. 2. Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman If you'd told me a couple of years ago that one of my favourite book series of all time would end up being a story about a man and his cat fighting monsters in a dungeon while being broadcast to billions of alien planets, I'd have laughed at you. But having now spent many hours reading all seven books in the series, I can confirm it's a winning formula even for non-gamers with cat allergies. What starts as Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat Princess Donut simply fighting to survive in a video game-style environment quickly grows into something much bigger. This series is ongoing, with the eighth instalment expected next year. The whole series is available on Kindle Unlimited, or you can buy it from Waterstones. I would also highly recommend listening to the audiobook for a truly immersive experience! 3. Inherited Fate by Noémi Orvos-Tóth Fiction will always be my preference, but I still make an effort to read at least one non-fiction book a month. I usually like to take my time with these, reading or listening over the course of a few weeks, but Inherited Fate proved to be the exception to my self-imposed rule. Psychologist Noémi Orvos-Tóth takes you on a journey of self-awareness, explaining how everything from the circumstances of our conception to birth order shapes who we are. She explains how our anxieties and repeated relationship patterns can be traced back to the experiences of our parents, grandparents and even the ancestors we've never met. This is a topic I find fascinating, and I enjoyed the stories Orvos-Tóth shares about her patients and acquaintances. I really only put this book down to voice note friends every time I came across something especially interesting. If you pick up one new non-fiction book this summer, I would recommend this one. You can buy Inherited Fate here. 4. One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford Scientist Kesta's husband Tim was the final person to be infected during a zombie pandemic. With the government appearing to have rounded up and eradicated all infected individuals, the quest for a cure is now underway. However, with her undead husband concealed in her spare room, Kesta has more incentive than most. The cover had me sold before I even read the blurb. But, beyond the wild science and zombies, I was taken aback by the emotional depth within; the love story between Kesta and Tim will make you both smile and feel real heartache for them. I couldn't stop reading, anxiously waiting for something to go disastrously wrong. You can buy One Yellow Eye here. 5. The Martian by Andy Weir I am a big fan of science fiction, with Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir becoming a particular favourite in the genre earlier this year. But after receiving The Martian as a gift, I was initially reluctant to read it. As anyone who has seen the film adaptation starring Matt Damon will know, the main character spends a lot of time alone, and I was nervous about reading a book with so little dialogue. For the uninitiated, The Martian follows Mark Watney, an astronaut who finds himself stranded on Mars after a fierce storm, who must use his ingenuity as well as his botanical and engineering knowledge to survive and signal Earth for rescue. I needn't have worried about reading this book, as Mark's narration (via the medium of diary entries) is hugely entertaining, and a good chunk of the book is dedicated to the teams working on Earth to bring Mark home, as well as his fellow astronauts.

Sia sparks romance rumours with Netflix star Harry Jowsey as they're spotted holding hands after cosy dinner date
The pair were seen enjoying a stroll together in LA UNSTOPPABLE Sia sparks romance rumours with Netflix star Harry Jowsey as they're spotted holding hands after cosy dinner date Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HARRY Jowsey and pop megastar Sia proved to be an unlikely pairing as they strolled hand-in-hand after dinner in Los Angeles. The Too Hot To Handle star, 28, and the Elastic Heart songstress, 49, beamed as they walked through the Ca Del Sole restaurant car park together. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Harry and Sia were seen beaming after grabbing dinner together Credit: Getty 6 The pair animatedly talked to each other as they strolled through the car park Credit: Getty 6 Harry shot to fame on the first season of Too Hot To Handle Harry clutched the hand of the singer as they spoke animatedly, with Sia giggling as she looked up at him, locked in the conversation. The pair's flirty exchange came ahead of them joining a group of celeb pals at Katy Perry's Lifetimes concert. Sia, a longtime collaborator of Katy Perry, has been single since announcing her divorce in March this year - citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split from her second husband. Meanwhile Harry has famed for his womanizing – finding fame on Too Hot To Handle in 2020 and being connected to a string of women since. Notably he's dated his Too Hot To Handle co-stars Francesca Farago and Georgia Hassarati, and his Perfect Match co-star Jessica Vestal. He was also rumoured to be dating his Dancing With The Stars partner Rylee Arnold when he competed in 2023. However, he later shut that down, admitting to having a secret romance during the time he was on the show (believed to be Jessica) that was derailed as a result of the speculation. Leaning into his reputation, Harry has since launched podcast Boyfriend Material, where he discusses where he's going wrong in romance, and is now set to take centre stage in a new Netflix series. After trying his luck on Heartbreak Island, Too Hot To Handle and Perfect Match, Harry is now looking for a wife in newly announced Let's Marry Harry. Speaking to Netflix's TUDUM about the series, Harry said: "Having a show of my own is incredible, but also having my family at Netflix stop at no end to help me find the love of my life is the most amazing feeling." Perfect Match fans rage at 'undeserving' winners in 'rigged' finale & praise footage that exposes 'toxic' Harry Jowsey He later defended the show on his Instagram, saying in a video: "Another dating show for Harry Jowsey? God forbid a man wants to find his soulmate." So will Sia play into his quest to find a perfect woman? Or is the lothario winning her over with his charm? Either way, it seems like the reality star is unstoppable right now. 6 The pair also attended Katy Perry's concert together alongside famous friends Credit: Getty 6 Harry has become a regular face on dating shows – and has now landed his own Credit: Netflix
