    Previous movies in the series:

    Secret Life of the Surgeon's Wife [2025]

    Secret Life of the Dean's Wife [2025]

    Secret Life of the Pastor's Wife [2024]

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32024054/

    I don't think any of these four are explicitly "related" - it's more
    like they're similar thematically.

    Looks like it's the middle of summer doldrums... :|

    Too bad this is a doc. As a scripted series with some cuties, it might
    have been something I would have watched...


    Or if it starred Jessica Green


    Untamed       [new; complete limited series]      (3:01 am, Netflix)

    Eric Bana stars as a special agent for the National Parks Service who
    begins an investigation of a brutal death at Yosemite in this six-part
    thriller from American Primeval creator Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith.
    Sam Neill, Lily Santiago, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Wilson Bethel also star.

    Another one: As a movie, likely a yes. As a series? I won't have the
    time for it...

    I hope that doesn’t make Bana angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.

    Sounds like I grew up in the wrong country since I was a math whiz in
    high school and thus a top quality dweeb which was sheer death to my
    social life back in the day.

    Met my wife when she sat down directly in front of me while I was
    drinking coffee in the cafeteria between classes and was curious about
    the magazine I was reading.

    Very dweebish during term and then re-connected after summer break and ker-boom!
