Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a rating of 50% based on 6 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 Sunday Independent (Ireland) 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."
