Top crime thriller of 2025 dominates Netflix charts

A New Netflix Series Captivates Global Audiences

A fresh and compelling series has taken the world by storm, quickly climbing to the top of global streaming charts. The show, titled Untamed, made its debut on July 17 and has since become a must-watch for fans around the globe. With a stellar cast led by Eric Bana, the six-part drama has already sparked widespread excitement and anticipation for more.

The series follows Kyle Turner, a special agent with the National Parks Service, as he investigates a brutal death that leads him into the heart of dark secrets lurking within the park—and his own past. The intense storyline, combined with stunning visuals, has kept viewers glued to their screens, with many binge-watching the entire season in one go.

Fans have been quick to express their enthusiasm, urging creators to consider a second season. The show’s popularity is evident from its impressive viewing numbers, which include 24.6 million views and 119.5 million hours watched over the last seven days alone. It easily outperformed other popular titles such as Amy Bradley is Missing, The Sandman, 7 Bears, and RAW to claim the top spot on Netflix’s global charts.

Other notable shows on the list include The Waterfront, Ms Rachel, Too Much, and the first two seasons of Sullivan’s Crossing. The series currently holds a 71% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, while critics have given it an impressive 78% rating. It was recently hailed as the best crime thriller of 2025 in a five-star review.

Viewers have praised Untamed for its fast-paced narrative, well-crafted characters, and breathtaking scenery. Linda R shared her thoughts, saying: “Fast paced with startling turns of events. Well cast with believable portrayals of individual characters while still maintaining a ‘Hollywood pretty’ aesthetic. Yosemite is stunning.” She also expressed hope for a second season, encouraging others to watch it with friends and family.

Another viewer, Sai M, described the experience as a “wild ride” and said they were immediately drawn in from the first episode. “I was so glad I decided to dive in and go with the flow,” they added. Similarly, John M called it a “pretty good miniseries” that was binged in one sitting.

Even those who found the show not entirely original still appreciated its solid storytelling and acting. Chief M noted, “This isn’t super original, but it’s a really decent mystery. The story is pretty tight and logical. Good solid acting and the scenery is gorgeous.”

Although there has been no official announcement regarding a second season, the positive reception and high viewership numbers suggest that the team behind Untamed could be in line for more adventures. Co-showrunner Elle Smith hinted at potential future episodes, stating: “If we got the opportunity to do it again, it would be getting to explore a different park, a different case. We would do this forever if they let us, but we’ll see. We’ll see how many adventures Turner has left in him.”

For now, Untamed remains available to stream on Netflix.
