Jurassic Park had Sam Neill running from dinosaurs. However, he is now back, but the monsters here wear human faces. Untamed, the new Netflix miniseries, dropped without much fuss and is already being called a 10/10 by viewers who can’t stop watching, according to Unilad. The show, released on July 17, did not take long for people to start raving about it, especially that opening scene, which feels like it grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go.
Untamed Netflix Series Opens With A Jaw-Dropping Scene
Untamed begins with two climbers scaling a cliff in Yosemite when something falls from above, and it is not a rock, but a body. A woman’s corpse plummets, snags the climbers’ rope, and hangs there, swinging in the air. That is how the show starts, yes, you read that right. Eric Bana plays Kyle Turner, a National Park Service special agent. He is called in to find out who this woman is and what exactly happened on that cliff.

The show was shot in British Columbia last year, but the setting pulls you straight into America’s wildest parks. Sam Neill joins him, along with Rosemarie DeWitt and Wilson Bethel. The cast does what is needed, like carrying the weight without ever looking like they are performing. The story is tight and told in six episodes, not padded like many series.
