You might be drawn to it for the compelling murder mystery, but I love it for a completely different reason. FULL STORY ====================================================================== If youre looking for a new series to watch on Netflix this weekend, Id highly recommend Untamed . With its cast led by Eric Bana ( Troy ), it follows a federal agent who is sent to solve the mystery of a womans death in a lawless national park. Over six nail-biting episodes, we learn the truth about the woman in question, who she is and who else gets caught up in the chaos with some serious repercussions. Out of everything new on Netflix in July 2025 , this story might just be the most predictable. However, dont write that off as a bad thing. With so many metaphorical plates spinning at any given time, being able to appreciate details in the moment is exactly what you want when the tough gets going (well, it does for Bana, not for us). Theres an additional win in Untameds approach, too. If Im being honest, the mysterious murder at its core is the least interesting thing about whats happening on screen. In the opening scenes alone, one of my childhood dreams has been brought perfectly to life, and now I can relive the magic anytime I want to and so can you. Netflix's Untamed doesnt thrive on its murder mystery, but the beauty of Yosemite National Park If you were a kid in the late 1990s, you likely watched the Disney movie Pocahontas and wondered if the mountain she jumps off during Colours of the Wind is actually real. Turns out, it is, and you can see exactly the same breathtaking vistas in Yosemite National Park, California. Ever since watching the classic film, Ive wanted to go there, and now I can anytime I turn on the TV. What sets Untamed apart from your typical crime procedural is its setting, with Netflix quickly reminding us that nature obeys no rules. The sheer scope of the untouched natural world means solving a crime is a lot more difficult to do than in a built up, inhabited area, automatically making Untameds existing plot that little bit meatier. But were not watching to find out the answer we already know thats coming, are we? Instead, were visualising ourselves trekking the mountain trails that ascend for hours, stopping off at viewpoints to take photos of El Capitan that will never reflect the beauty of seeing it in person and watching climbers pitch their paths on the cliffs, unable to look away. There is nothing like the beauty of Yosemite, and being immersed in Untamed means being immersed in something much bigger than ourselves. As an adult, Ive been lucky enough to visit Yosemite twice, and its every bit what you hope it is when you see something like Untamed . Im so excited for subscribers who dont even know the national park exists to see the never-ending mountainous glory. While it doesnt seem real in the slightest, rest assured that what youre seeing is not CGI. Frankly, I dont think theres ever been a prettier crime drama committed to film.
