Untamed<\/p>\n
Netflix<\/p>\n
While Netflix\u2019s licensed series Sullivan\u2019s Crossing returned to #1 this week after being unseated <\/a>by wrestling earlier, now it\u2019s lost the top spot again to a new show that has debuted at #1, and may stay there a while.<\/p>\n That show is Untamed<\/a>, a new murder mystery starring Hulk veteran Eric Bana. Here\u2019s the synopsis:<\/p>\n \u201cIn the vast expanse of Yosemite National Park, a woman’s death draws a federal agent into lawless terrain, where nature obeys no rules but its own.\u201d<\/p>\n My favorite thing I\u2019ve seen is the official logline on Wikipedia being \u201cA body is discovered in Yosemite National Park.\u201d Well, that\u2019s one way to leave things a mystery!<\/p>\n I am a little surprised that this is not based on a book, but rather created by Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith. You might recognize Mark L. Smith\u2019s name from creating and writing the recent American Primeval series on Netflix, which did very well on the service. He also wrote, Twisters apparently. Also Martyrs? The super messed up 2015 horror movie that I love? Wow, pretty cool.<\/p>\n In addition to Bana, who hasn\u2019t really been in many high profile projects for a number of years now, the show stars Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Rosemarie DeWitt (Smile 2, Percy Jackson) and a cool addition, Wilson Bethel, currently doing a great turn reprising his role as Bullseye in Daredevil: Born Again. Is he the killer? I feel like he\u2019s the killer. Sorry man, I guess I\u2019m stereotyping.<\/p>\n Top 10<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n Untamed is a six episode miniseries, so it is not looking for viewership to land it a season 2. But if this is yet another hit for Mark L. Smith (and now Elle Smith, who I presume is his wife), that bodes well for his future prospects on Netflix between American Primeval and now this. Untamed is reviewing great, a certified fresh 83% ciritc score and an 89% audience score.<\/p>\n So, Sullivan\u2019s Crossing? Big success on Netflix, season 3 is already done and has aired on the CW, and should be on Netflix next month, I believe. Season 4 is already greenlit. Expect to see a lot more of this series in the future, and it airs yearly without long gaps in between seasons.<\/p>\n In between Untamed and Sullivan\u2019s Crossing on the list is the new True Crime series, Amy Bradley is Missing, about a 23-year-old girl who vanishes from a cruise back in 1988. It\u2019s three 40-50 minute episodes, but spoiler alert, this is not a solved case, so you might want to expect that going in.<\/p>\n I am curious to see how big of a hit Untamed managed to be, as it seems like it\u2019s going to do quite well. Good for Mark L. Smith and Eric Bana.<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>,<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series<\/a> and The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
