Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a rating of 50% based on six reviews. Joel Keller from Decider gave it a positive review, writing, "Harry Wild stars a very game Jane Seymour in the most dynamic role she's had in some time. But the mysteries and backstories need to be tightened up for the show to succeed." Eilis O'Hanlon from the Sunday Independent gave it a negative review, writing "There's nothing wrong with dark humour, but the show didn't commit to the mood enough to make the pay-off feel earned."
