Netflix's most controversial show, Let's Marry Harry, has come to an explosive end, but the backlash from viewers continues. The series, which follows reality TV star Harry Jowsey in his quest to find a wife, aired its finale this week, with Jowsey choosing Amber to be his wife.

"After years of dating in the spotlight — and getting it wrong — his closest confidants are stepping in to make the tough calls. From a carefully selected pool of potential matches, they’ll decide who stays and who goes, guiding Harry toward what he truly wants: authentic love and marriage."

Viewer Reactions on Reddit and X

The series ended on August 12, but viewers remain unimpressed. On Reddit, one person said: "Im ep 3 rn, and my jaw DROPPED at the booger scene! Like seriously, how disgusting can someone be and why tf are they broadcasting it." Another wrote: "Just wait until you get to episode 5….I couldn’t get through it without pausing it multiple times from secondhand embarrassment (not the first half of the episode, which is surprisingly emotional and sweet) but you will know what I mean when you get to the second half."

A third stated: "This show should be a case study on everything that’s wrong with dating in 2026. This show is gross." In another thread, one person fumed: "I can’t believe I watched this entire show", as another added: "I’ve never felt so disgusted with Netflix."

On X, viewers were similarly frustrated, with one person saying: "Harry, I’m disappointed in you." However, some admitted the series was addicting. One viewer penned: "If you told me #letsmarryharry was completely AI, I would say 'Ohhhhhhh that makes so much sense'. Everything is really empty, cringe at best, and addicting."

Another wrote: "Im just now watching the last episode. Harry Jowsey is not getting married. If he's serious about this is would be shocked. Lol I love REALITY TV. Thank you for doing what I would never." A third admitted: "When #LetsMarryHarry has me ugly crying like a mother trucker." A fourth confessed: "Me and my friends watched the show yesterday and we loved it and Harry you are such a sweetheart @HarryJowsey and we can't wait for the final episode #letsmarryharry."

Let's Marry Harry is available to stream on Netflix.
