Harry Wild: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Liam Fay Times (UK) Implausibility mounts at every turn. Despite the chief protagonist’s pedantic fixation with lucid expression and correct usage, the show is a rambling muddle that often makes no sense. Jul 5, 2022 Full Review Harry Wild: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Jane Seymour is such a joy to watch that this slight and slightly silly amateur-sleuth series immediately becomes something you could easily idle away a couple of hours on. Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Harry Wild: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Eilis O'Hanlon Sunday Independent (Ireland) There’s nothing wrong with dark humour, but the show didn’t commit to the mood enough to make the pay-off feel earned. Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Harry Wild: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Pat Stacey Irish Independent It’s old-fashioned, lightweight tosh with an ultimately tiresome and irritating lead character. Rated: 2/5 Jun 30, 2022 Full Review Harry Wild: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joel Keller Decider 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. Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Harry Wild: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Anne Brodie What She Said If all this sounds like a flight of unbelievable fancy, it is, but Seymour’s having fun hamming it up, asking her son for weed and being generally outrageous.

Jeanne S It definitely makes you have to suspend some believability. That's OK though, because I'm looking for escape, and this show offers it. Fergus is a darling character. Harry and Fergus together are actually quite charming. I am a teacher, so I'm rooting for the teacher. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Jack F Quirky, a fresh break from the typical cliches.Not your typical rural Ireland bumpkin..... nice scenery. Can't believe Seymour looks so good and energetic. Fifty years in the business and she can legitimately joke about snogging.Looking forward to season 2. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Tania D I like the way in which the relationship between Fergus and Harry develops. Despite their very different upbringing and circ*mstances they grow to respect and complement each other well. Lighthearted mysteries and an unlikely heroine that remains true to herself. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Ian R Utter rubbish. I tried so hard to like this but ended up watching the first 15/20 minutes of each episode before giving up. The Jane Seymour character is so obnoxious, irritating and crude that I eventually found it unwatchable. A shame because I thought the concept was different to the norm and would be a breath of fresh air. I won't be watching season 2 Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Lisa C So much fun! I laughed out loud through every episode. Great characters, fun plots and lots of Irish charm. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review Stuart C I've watched the first episode, great writting, fresh well paced and very funny. Jane as Harry is brilliant, running rings round people as the retired lecturer. Each time she corrects someones grammer they assume she is speaking for herself, priceless. Can't wait to view the rest. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
