Your Next Must-Watch? The Reviews Of Untamed Are In
When a woman fatally falls from El Capitan, special agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) has suspicions that it wasn't an accident – and the truth may be hidden deep within Yosemite National Park. This is the story behind Untamed , the new American drama murder mystery on Netflix. The six-part drama landed on the streaming platform on 17 July and promises to add some toe curling tension to your summer. But is it worth watching? The reviews are in... For fans of The Perfect Couple or a good murder mystery novel, Untamed may be the ideal show to sink your teeth into this summer, but what do the critics say? Rebecca Nicholson at The Guardian awarded the series three stars. 'It's not the smartest, but the mountains are lovely,' she wrote, adding that Untamed 'makes a fairytale of both detective work and the great outdoors'. Meanwhile Variety 's Aramide Tinbubu had more generous things to say about the show. 'Deeply layered and gripping, Untamed is a brilliant detective tale anchored by some of our worst human impulses,' she writes. 'It is a story of pain, shame and the hope of redemption, even when there appears to be no way out. A series about justice, control and who gets to be remembered, it's also a reminder that in the end, our true nature will always be revealed.' The Hollywood Reporter critic Daniel Fienberg calls the show 'intriguing but rushed'. As he puts it, '[ Untamed ] the sort of tightly – often too tightly – constructed six-episode potboiler with epic frontier undertones that should find a receptive audience among fans of mysteries like Slow Horses, Reacher and Dept Q (as well as viewers who like the general structure of True Detective, but would prefer a little less philosophical noodling). 'Rarely have the parks – their vastness, their complexity, the official and unofficial denizens who live and work within them – been as central to a story as Yosemite is to Untamed, ' notes Time TV critic, Judy Berman. For her, the scenery is the star of the show. 'Forget Turner, Vazquez, Jill, Paul—all egregiously underwritten. Untamed has a far more fascinating and multifaceted lead in Yosemite.' A disappointing two stars are given from Dan Einav at the Financial Times. 'Little of what we see during out visit to Yosemite is inspiring or natural – from the contrived writing to the signature Netflix aesthetic that makes everything look more overproduced than untamed.' However, it's a strong four stars from Carol Midgley at The Times. 'Having watched all six episodes, I would never have guessed the outcome or the guilty party. Ultimately, it is a series which transcends, with ease, its central cliché.' Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news.

Reese Witherspoon's nickname for her financier boyfriend is so Reese Witherspoon
Even when Reese Witherspoon isn't literally on a yacht, she is metaphorically in the presence of an implied yacht at all times. Whether it's her signature old-money-blonde hair or her tendency to play compelling characters who say cutting things while holding a Birkin bag, Reese seems most at home in the polished world of the mega-rich. As a result, when she is literally on a multi-million pound luxury boat – smooching a private equity titan, no less – it just looks so, so right. The Big Little Lies actress and her boyfriend, German financier Oliver Haarmann (net-worth estimated at around half a billion dollars), looked like cast members of one of Netflix's many summer series about the ultra-wealthy (Sirens, The Perfect Couple, or We Were Liars, just to name a few) during their getaway to Saint-Tropez on Saturday. The actress definitely seems like the type to hand out slightly cringey pet names to her loved ones while sipping an overpriced cosmo – a suspicion confirmed by a source who revealed she affectionately calls Haarmann 'her little genius.' The couple, who went public with their romance a year ago, were seen sharing a steamy kiss before frolicking in the waves with the carefree energy of people who haven't glanced at a supermarket price tag in decades – assuming, of course, they even remember what the inside of a supermarket looks like. The 49-year-old Oscar winner and her 57-year-old beau packed on the PDA, embracing throughout the day. At one point, Haarmann affectionately wrapped his arms around Witherspoon and kissed her on her little blonde head. Witherspoon stunned in a simple white swimsuit as Haarmann put the fox in silver fox in a pair of colourful swim shorts. An insider told DailyMail, 'Reese has a close bond with Oliver because this is the first man she has been with who actually guides her, teaches her, mentors her.' 'He is a very accomplished private equity financier and has given her solid financial advice over her brands like Draper James and Hello Sunshine. She calls him her 'little genius' and loves that he has an MBA from Harvard,' the insider continued. 'It's also nice that he already has kids with his ex, so there is no pressure with shared kids. All they do is have fun when they are not working and that is refreshing to her. 'In her last two marriages she was always the leader, now Oliver is the leader. He pushes her to be more, and she loves that he makes plans for them, even small things like where they go to dinner. 'She has already introduced Oliver to most of her friends and he has definitely been welcomed into her world. Everyone thinks she is madly in love.' Oddly condescending commentary aside, it's undeniable that Reese appears smitten, and there's something very Reese about her nickname for her big business man lover. And if she's into her man making their dinner reservations and reviewing her investment portfolio? Fine, who can blame her? Haarmann has two sons from his marriage to businesswoman Mala Gaonkar, 55, who is now in a relationship with The Talking Heads musician David Byrne, 73. Ah, to be the kind of rich where you can once again begin dating actors and musicians – good for Mala and Oliver. Haarmann first made his name in the world of investing as a founding partner of Searchlight Capital Partners, a private equity investment firm. He then went on to become a senior partner of the global investment firm KKR & Co. More Trending Reese and her ex-husband Jim Toth, 54, announced their separation in 2023 after nearly 12 years of marriage. Just a week later, the actress officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences in court documents. Reese and Jim later reached a divorce settlement and agreed to co-parent their 12-year-old son, Tennessee. Reese also shares two children – Deacon, 21, and Ava, 25 – with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, 50. Tax the rich and get the tech billionaires out of government positions, certainly, but the full spectrum of political views must make space for Reece Witherspoon's god-given right to lounge on a yacht.

Directed by Christopher Landon, Drop was released in theaters on April 11 before debuting on digital streaming via premium video on demand on April 29. The summary for Drop reads, "Meghann Fahy (Devon in Sirens) plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry (Brandon Sklenar) is more charming and handsome than she expected. "But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.' According to Peacock, Drop will begin streaming on the NBC Universal platform on Friday, July 11. For those who haven't subscribed to the platform, Peacock offers an ad-based package for $7.99 per month or $79 per year and an ad-free package for $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year. Meghann Fahy Gets Top Billing On 'Drop' Following Meghann Fahy's success of Max's The White Lotus Season 2 — which earned her an Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series Primetime Emmy Award nomination in 2023 — and a pivotal supporting role in Netflix's limited series The Perfect Couple, Fahy is billed as the lead actor in Drop. In an interview with Variety before Drop was released in theaters in April, Fahy told the trade publication that she was excited to be No. 1 on the call sheet for the film. 'It's been amazing. It's so interesting when you go film something, and then a year later, you get to see and share it with people,' Fahy told Variety. 'It's a really, really cool moment.

Ultimately, Fahy knows there are several other talented people who come together to make movies happen.

'Everybody in the cast was there every day, from the beginning to the end of the day, whether or not they ended up being on camera, because we never knew how far we were going to get [in each scene]," she added.
