“If you like your TV series to start with a bang and to cause a severe drop to your stomach then Untamed certainly delivers on that score”
Untamed, Netflix
“Untamed is a blunt force thriller, set in Yosemite national park in California, starring Eric Bana as a macho special agent who prefers silence to talking and horses to motorised vehicles. It is perfectly serviceable though oddly retro – not just because it scoffs at petrol engines, but because it feels as if it could have been made in the 1990s. Even a crucial smartphone plotline doesn’t come into it until very close to the end, and although park rangers have become a political hot potato in the US, national politics emphatically do not exist here. That makes Untamed an undemanding watch, but don’t expect much depth… It’s not the smartest of thrillers, but those mountains sure are lovely to look at.”

“If you like your TV series to start with a bang and to cause a severe drop to your stomach then Untamed certainly delivers on that score… Ultimately, it is a series which transcends, with ease, its central cliché.”

“Set phasers to fun: the third season of Star Trek spin-off Strange New Worlds (is a romping return to the interstellar camp of the original Captain Kirk-Mr Spock space opera. It has everything the discerning Trekkie could want.”
