...[Untamed is] a miniseries that takes advantage of the potential of its setting to create a beautifully crafted and acted thriller. And its brevity doesn't diminish its power, but rather concentrates it. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 28, 2025

The series is middling, a by-the-book murder mystery with the veneer of something distinct. But once it’s exhausted all the plot twists and revelations, you know you’ve seen it all before.

Full Review | Jul 28, 2025

Is it groundbreaking? Not at all. Is it a bit too predictable? Absolutely. Is it still a fun watch with some good detective work and emotional beats that keep you invested in the main characters. I certainly thought so.

Eric Bana plays the grumpy agent well, but the character is strengthened through the performance of Lily Santiago. The plot, while uneven and convoluted, does maintain some tension despite rushing through elements that equate to unnecessary conveniences.

Everybody has a secret that plays out under big skies and towering trees in this gussied up police-procedural-cum-murder-mystery.

Full Review | Jul 24, 2025

While the broad strokes aren't anything new, strong writing and a terrific cast make Untamed a mystery you don't want to miss.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 23, 2025

It wouldn't have hurt Untamed to make better use of its space, to give it a bit more dramatic weight. [Full review in Spanish]

...'Untamed' is a good option for a summer binge, but it falls a little short of what we expected. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 23, 2025

Unlike the wilderness it portrays, Untamed is, in the end, tame.

Full Review | Jul 23, 2025

Ultimately, it is a series that transcends, with ease, its central cliché.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 22, 2025

[T]his Netflix show is a slower-paced watch with just enough interesting plot developments to keep things moving.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2025

It's a smart and compelling drama, with some great acting and a real sense of place.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 21, 2025

Littered with too many red herrings and subplots, the story leapfrogs about and prevents viewers from getting emotionally invested about solving the crime at its crux.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 21, 2025

The six-episode series comes across as a faux prestige project while still hitting the pleasure centers for audiences. If Netflix had invested in the production side, most notably by allowing them to shoot on location, Untamed could have soared.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 20, 2025

Untamed is a mystery thriller with a powerful emotional core. It has engaging suspense, thrills, and investigative intrigue, but the show truly excels when it comes to its character-driven story.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 20, 2025

The same people that might give up on “Untamed” by the fourth episode would hang around all the way through a standard-issue, far superior two-hour movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2025

Little of what we see during our visit to Yosemite is inspiring or natural — from the contrived writing to the signature Netflix aesthetic that makes everything look more overproduced than untamed.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2025

Untamed doesn’t do anything new, but it holds its own. It’s not this year’s best (that’s still Dept. Q and Patience), but it’s nowhere near the bottom of the pile, either.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 18, 2025

Untamed gives viewers a storyline that will keep them engaged from minute zero.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 18, 2025

Bana and Smith know how to keep you watching, even when parts of the story start to feel familiar. In the summer, we’re all tourists. A Yosemite story hits just right.
