You have seen this series before. There’s no getting around the fact that Netflix’s new series Untamed employs several tropes of the mystery genre. You’ll have seen the series where an older cop with a gift for investigation lives in a remote place due to some past trauma that keeps him isolated from the world, who has a plucky young partner who is very inexperienced but shows great promise and has her own trauma. Then, when a body shows up, they set out to find the killer and uncover a larger mystery at the same time. The key to a series like this is to set it apart in some other ways, such as having a great lead actor or a novel location, and fortunately, Untamed has both.
