What to watch: Fake Yosemite a highlight in new murder series
Briefly

'Untamed' is a six-part mystery series set in Yosemite, filmed in British Columbia, where the story revolves around Kyle Turner, a park investigative agent. He is plagued by grief from his son's death and investigates a female hiker's fatal fall. The series suffers from a disjointed narrative filled with numerous red herrings, and its unsatisfying conclusion diminishes viewer engagement. Eric Bana's performance is overshadowed by melancholy, while Lily Santiago offers contrasting energy. Wilson Bethel's portrayal of Shane Maguire provides the necessary tension amid the weak plot.

Wilson Bethel stands out as Shane Maguire, the ex-military wilderness expert, adding tension and menace that is otherwise lacking in the series.
