Season 1 Review:
If you’re hoping for a sophisticated, unpredictable mystery, it isn’t quite up to par. While Turner’s investigation leads us along a few intriguing twists and turns, the show’s creators seem more interested in exploring Yosemite than telling a story that keeps us guessing. It’s fortunate, then, that the park makes for such a compelling co-lead character, going a long way to balance out the weaker elements of the plot.

Season 1 Review:
If the dialogue often has the flavor of coming off a page rather than out of a character, it gets the job done, and if the characters are essentially static, people don’t change overnight, and consistency is a hallmark of detective fiction. The narrative wisely stays close to Turner and/or Vasquez; there are enough twists and tendrils in the main overlapping plots without running off into less related matters.

Season 1 Review:
Bana is riveting as the lead, DeWitt gives the series the saga the pathos it begs for, Santiago measures up as more than a “Training Day” trainee and Bethel, Trujillo and Neill shine in support...They lift “Untamed” to the level of “a good beach read,” in miniseries form, a trip to Yosemite focused purely on everything that can go wrong there and the people who have to piece together what happened when it does.

Season 1 Review:
There’s plenty of substance to keep curiosity afloat enough as the next episode begins to roll. Unfortunately, said substance can’t help but lose its own connective tissue as an intriguing murder mystery devolves before long into something not at all unlike what came before, ultimately transforming into just another show about people trying to get to the bottom of something unusual.

Season 1 Review:
Inessential yet world-building exchanges set “Untamed” apart from most streaming-service procedurals. So does the Smiths’ ability to maintain mysteries through several episodes and deliver genuine thrills and surprises. This quality wanes, however, as the rangers uncover criminal enterprises that pose greater threats to the national park than even DOGE did.

Season 1 Review:
Its central plot is so formulaic, and the series so tentative in making any larger argument about how we alternately romanticize and abuse nature, that Untamed never bushwhacks its way into its own identity. The series’ first scene is a banger, and it’s all downhill from there.
