5.0 out of 5 stars
Truly Exceptional TV Series!!!,
By Teddy (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildfire: Season 1 (DVD)
Wildfire is an excellent television program. It is one of the rare shows that features a smart, strong, young woman as the main character. If you like "Veronica Mars", "Gilmore Girls" or "Ugly Betty", you will definitely like Wildfire.The plot revolves around Kris Furillo (Genevieve Cortese), a 17 year-old girl with a troubled past who is recently released from a juvenile detention facility. As a condition of her release, she must work at Raintree Ranch as a farmhand, scooping horse manure and caring for the racehorses. The ranch is owned by the Ritter family comprised of Jean (the mom), Matt (the 17 year-old son), Tad (the 10 year-old son) and Henry (the Grandpa). Initially, the Ritter family is suspicious of Kris and her criminal past but they slowly accept her as part of the family. Kris is supervised by Pablo, her sympathetic boss. Together they prepare and train the racehorses for competition. Kris bonds with one horse in particular named "Wildfire" who becomes her best friend. Making things more complicated is the wealthy Davis family who owns the rival ranch next door. They want to buy out the financially strapped Raintree Ranch. Junior Davis is Matt Ritter's best friend and Dani Davis is Matt's sneaky ex-girlfriend. The show is filled with adventure and drama. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Unfortunately, the show is not currently being aired in Canada. However, it is playing now in the US on the ABC Family channel and is in its 3rd season. The only way you can watch it is to buy the DVD. Incidentally, does anybody know when the Season 2 DVD will be released? I am very eager to find out what happens next.

What if they mixed "Dallas" with "The OC"?,

This review is from: Wildfire: Season 1 (DVD)
I don't get why the over review of this set gives the show just 1 star because it isn't the show he wanted it to be!Anyway, "Wildfire" was a show originally developed for the WB network that eventually became the first in a growing line of succesfull original drama series for the ABC Family Channel. The show follows a girl, Kris, and focuses mainly on her transition from Juvenile Hall to the ranch life of Texas. In order for her parole to be granted she is given a job as a ranch hand in an extremely posh and secretive community that raises and races horses. It is here that she, along with wildfire - a horse from her days in juvie - finally is able to shed her past and live like a normal teenager just trying to survive. But that isn't made easy with all the drama surrounding her and her new soragate family. I will admit that the series starts out jumpy, but it really comes into its own halfway through the season and never lets up. I missed the final three episodes on television and I cannot wait to revist this series and get caught up. Amazon doesn't mention it but the set is going to include: Deleted Scenes, a Couple Commentaries, and Several Featurettes. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful

Should be mandatory for pre-teens,
By Rebecca Pounds "Becky" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wildfire: Season 1 (DVD)
This is a drama of consequences and developing a conscience. Chris had to deal with the consequences of her actions and in turn learned how to listen to her conscience. It is wonderful to see the characters grow as the season goes along. I certainly hope that this series runs for a long time. It can teach some very good lessons to those who are teetering on which path they should take.It should be mandatory material for the junior high and highschool age student to watch and do reports on. It could provide for some positive discussion. Wildfire writers--KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful

i love this show,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wildfire: Season 1 (DVD)
Wildfire is a great show. Each plot line is different and easy to follow. Also, I got hooked on this show after just seeing the first episode. Each character is unique and you like each one more than the last one. The story follows a girl named Kris. She has just gotten out of jail and is living with a family at a ranch. She then meets to guys, Matt and Junior, who are fighting each other for her. I really recommend it to everyone.
