'Harry Wild' Episodes 1 and 2 Recap
Acorn TV's newest original series Harry Wild is an Irish mystery set in Dublin that is both fast-moving and fun. Retiree Harry Wild and her teenage sidekick Fergus Reid make a great crime-solving team, and star Jane Seymour’s portrayal of a strong, aging woman who is not going gentle into the dark night of retirement is thrilling. Two new episodes will arrive on the streaming service each Monday, through April 25.
Episode 1: When Harry Met Fergus
Harry—short for Harriet—Wild (Jane Seymour) drinks too much, is sarcastic and mouthy, has few social filters, and is given to inappropriately-timed grammatical corrections in conversations. You either love her or can’t wait to get away from her. She’s a literature professor at Trinity College, Dublin, and, as the series begins, is giving her final lecture before retirement. Her students, upon whom she rains insults, gaze at her adoringly. The class is followed by a farewell booze-up with her colleagues, and Harry rewards herself by taking a new professor home.
