The National Park is no stranger to natural wonder — but in the new limited series Untamed, it becomes the backdrop for a chilling crime drama that’s as emotionally intense as it is suspenseful.

Starring Eric Bana as National Park Service agent Kyle Turner, Untamed begins with a jarring tragedy: a woman’s body falls from the iconic El Capitan cliff. What starts as a puzzling accident quickly unravels into a dark web of secrets involving a drug-ring conspiracy and buried family trauma.
Over six tightly-woven episodes, the series balances high-stakes mystery with deep character arcs. Bana delivers a gripping performance as Turner, a man battling the ghosts of his past while navigating an increasingly dangerous investigation. The scenic beauty of Yosemite is sharply contrasted by the darkness lurking beneath the surface, adding a haunting tone to the story.
While Untamed has its imperfections — including occasional pacing lags and minor plot inconsistencies — its strength lies in emotional storytelling. Each character is layered and human, and the show doesn’t shy away from exploring grief, loyalty, and personal redemption.
In a genre often driven by action over heart, Untamed stands out for making us care as much about its people as its puzzles.
