Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a rating of 50% based on six reviews.[3] 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."[4] 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."[5]
