Netflix's mini-series 'Untamed' has received high praise for its gripping opening scene and compelling storytelling, starring Eric Bana and Sam Neill, and is highly binge-worthy with positive reviews and an 81% Rotten Tomatoes rating.
Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, former stars of "The Walking Dead," are reprising their roles in the six-part spinoff mini-series "The Ones Who Live." The series follows the characters in a new setting, a dystopian metropolis ruled by a military police force. The return of these popular characters aims to reignite interest in the franchise after declining ratings toward the end of the original show's run.
"A Nearly Normal Family," a Swedish thriller series based on the best-selling book by M. T. Edvardsson, is now streaming on Netflix. The show follows the story of a family whose dynamics are strained when their daughter is accused of murder. With gripping storytelling and multiple perspectives, the series explores the lengths parents would go to protect their children. While it is classified as a "mini series," there is a possibility of a second season if it gains enough popularity. The show closely aligns with the book, with minor differences for dramatic effect.
"Love & Death" is another version of the true-crime story of Candy Montgomery, who killed Betty Gore with an axe in 1980. The mini-series works primarily because of its talented cast, particularly Elizabeth Olsen's mesmerizing performance as Montgomery. The storytelling leaves something to be desired, but the courtroom scenes and Tom Pelphrey's excellent portrayal of Montgomery's attorney are highlights. The mini-series shifts the focus to Montgomery's affair with Allan Gore, played by Jesse Plemons, and Olsen's performance forces viewers to question how much they should like, forgive, or understand Montgomery.
