Untameable Season 1 - Episode 1 [exclusive]

(titled "The Tamer's Skin" or "La piel del domador" ) serves as the electrifying premiere of the Spanish biographical drama series Untameable on Netflix . Created by Daniel Écija , the show chronicles the highly publicized, toxic, and tumultuous relationship between two iconographic figures of 1970s and 80s Spanish pop culture: the legendary circus tamer Ángel Cristo and the bombshell actress/vedette Bárbara Rey .

Director David Molina Encinas heavily leans into the aesthetic of late 1970s Spain. The costume design, smoky backrooms, and distinct color grading successfully transport the audience to Madrid's post-Franco cultural boom. It captures a society navigating newfound freedom, juxtaposed with the dark underbellies of fame.
