Harry Wild

It makes me want to learn Shakespeare and other books- or read them again. I'd say that is a great outcome for a show these days. Jane of course is wonderful. The supporting cast are fine too. I'd like to see more series- I hope they continue for a while.

It's good to see Seymour in a series again. And while I enjoy a good British cozy mystery, I can't recall ever reading or watching one based in Ireland. I'm enjoying the characters of Fergus and Harry and the emerging friendship and partnership between them.

Acorn did it again! Casting Jane Seymour as lead character is the right decision. She clearly have fun as an amateur detective, and combining classic literature as a part of story is just great. Can't wait for season 2, Acorn! 💋

There have been a number of similar shows on UK TV recently; odd-couple detective teams e.g. The Chelsea Detective, Murder in Provence, McDonald & Dodds. Fabulous for me as they are right in my wheelhouse and this one delivers.

Harry (Jane Seymour) is self-confident, mouthy with few social filters and, as a recently retired English Professor, offers unwelcome grammatical corrections during conversations. She has a detective son Charlie (Kevin Ryan) whose life she generally makes a misery by interfering with his cases - usually by solving them! Her partner-in-crime is Fergus (Rohan Nedd) who is an articulate, street-wise teenager from a poor background. Indeed they first meet during a mugging perpetrated by Fergus on Harry! Their relationship works well and they develop a growing mutual admiration as their complementary skills help them solve cases.

Easily-digestible, enjoyable viewing - believable core characters - interesting stories flying above the mere procedural.

Just funny enough to watch for a while, and just annoying enough to make me stop. I'm a Jane Seymour fan, but Harry Wild is so obnoxious and irritating! As is the police commissioner (or whatever her rank/position is). I'm married to a strong, confident, successful woman, so I know how wonderful they are. Do the Harry Wild writers really have to make these characters so hard to like? I watch shows to be entertained, not to be irritated, and this show irritates me.
