Netflix's Latest Stars Eric Bana Solving a Murder in Yosemite. It's the Ideal Summer Show.
Briefly

Netflix's limited series 'Untamed' features climbers scaling a cliff while a tragic fall alters the dynamics between them. Set against the stunning backdrop of British Columbia portraying Yosemite, the show examines the complexities of people's relationships with nature. Eric Bana portrays a haunted lawman navigating the aftermath of a mysterious death that propels the plot. The series contemplates how affection for nature manifests in various ways, from tourists to those risking their lives in pursuit of adventure or employment near wilderness areas.
The climber who's leading makes a tiny slip, and your adrenaline spikes, but that's nothing compared with how you feel when a girl's body falls from the top of the cliff.
The series has also got its finger pressed on something almost perverse about the contemporary American West in general, and its national parks in particular.
People love this land, but their love takes all kinds of odd shapes, from annoying tourists to those who give up their lives for seasonal jobs.
The first episode begins with b-roll at Yosemite National Park, where tourists in rows of RVs and SUVs wait for rangers.
