Compatibility for children

Untamed not suitable for children. Here are the reasons:

• Content violence and murder: The series centers on the investigation of a brutal murder, with scenes likely featuring violence, blood, or gripping situations that could upset children.
• Psychological themes and Trauma: Heavy themes such as the trauma of losing a child, dark secrets, and the inner conflicts of the main characters are too complex and emotional for young audiences. One of the posts on X mentioned discomfort with the “child in jeopardy” theme, which suggests child-related sensitive content.
• Dark and tense atmosphere: With the mystery thriller genre, the series has a gripping atmosphere that can frighten children, especially those sensitive to suspense or criminal elements.
• Age Rating: Although the official rating has not been mentioned in the sources, the series is likely to have a 17+ or 18+ rating due to its violent content, adult themes, and psychological elements, similar to other Netflix series in similar genres.

Recommendation: The series is more suitable for an adult audience or teenagers over 17 who like crime mystery dramas with psychological overtones. Parents are advised not to allow children under that age to watch, even with accompaniment, due to the potential emotional impact of violence and trauma themes. For children, Netflix offers alternatives such as animated films (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, Despicable Me, Kung Fu Panda) that are family friendly and loaded with positive values.
