One social media user wrote, "A gripping, fun story, a cast with loads of chemistry, specifically Jane and Guildford. It was passionate, intense, and so well done. I cannot believe this is happening. This show was different in the best way, and it is so unfortunate we won’t be able to see how the adventure ends."

The series is based on a novel written by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows and it is set in sixteenth-century England where humans and shapeshifters, Ethians, exist. Jane starts empathizing with Ethians, but this worries the people in power and they plan to behead her. 

Emily Bader played Jane and Edward Bluemel played Guildford in the series. The rest of the cast includes Rob Brydon, Jordan Peters, Kate O'Flynn, Abbie Hern, Henry Ashton, Dominic Cooper, and Jim Broadbent.
