Terryfan Before I get started on this review I want to state that I wasn't even going to watch this show because I thought it wasn't going to be for me but then again as they say Never judge a book by it's cover.Wildfire really goes to show that you can get a lot for making a very clever show.Wildfire tells about a teenager named Kris (Genevieve Padalecki)Who through a working program is release from prison.Along with the help of the Ritters she learns how to rebuild her life with the help of her trusted horse Wildfire.However things are not always what they seems with the Ritter rival Davis always trying to get ahead of them.But together they would always do what they could to survive.It just this series had the best of both worlds everything from the cast to the characters, music writing everything.Wildfire really should have been giving more then it got because it was an amazing show and still is.I need to find the series on DVD because I would love to watch it again.Trust me if you ever want to see a show that had the best of both worlds this would be it.Wildfire is flawless please do yourself a favor and watch this show.

someofusarebrave I spent the entire season wanting Kris to end up with Matt.In fact, after midway through season two when it seemed as though that wasn't going to happen, I stopped watching the show. Junior bored me, and I couldn't understand why the writers devoted so much airtime to his stupid little 'finding himself' journey. Dani never stopped bothering me with her 'spoiled little rich girl traumatized by Daddy's lies, no one else's needs matter as much as mine do' routine. Matt frustrated me with his immaturity and unwillingness to "man up" and take some responsibility for his own life.I have to say, the only part of the show I missed was the horses.I've recently started to catch up on ancient episodes of this show, and I have to say, I am less than impressed. I still enjoy the horses, the actresses and actors are excellent, and there is the occasional funny line. The music's nice.I was two inches from tearing my hair out over the whole 'Kris becomes the other woman' storyline. I don't believe for a second that two people who've been living alongside one another and spending most of every day together would suddenly "realize" they've had feelings for each other all this time. I don't believe that they would then repress those feelings, avoid eye contact and act totally awkward and embarrassed around each other despite considering each other among their "best friends." I don't believe that Kris would knowingly have sex with a guy who had a live-in girlfriend--certainly not without first at least asking if he was planning on leaving her!Basically, I think the writers so butchered this storyline that by the time they were through, everyone hated the idea of Matt and Kris because it brought up some of the worst writing to ever grace the silver screen.Also, with Kris running after Junior and Dani like the little do-gooder, people-pleaser she never was before season three, I wanted to smack her.Junior reacting like a kicked puppy dog whose favorite bone had been stolen upon finding out that his friend, who had always had feelings for a certain ex-girlfriend of his, finally had a shot with her...eew. What a slimeball.Kris and Matt had no obligation to tell Junior anything about their barely-existing romance at that point. So they slept together once--big deal. What, was Kris supposed to be celibate until Junior found a way to win her heart back?Obviously, the Davises have some issues with the concept of loosing the controls and allowing their significant others the freedom to make their own decisions and to take responsibility for their own lives.Let's put it this way--by the time Kris and Matt finally "discovered" that they had feelings for one another, Kris and Junior had already been on-again, off-again like five times already. Matt had shown absolutely no interest in dating Kris for two years, and had dated several other people super-seriously during the in-between time. In fact, the only reason why Matt 'lost her' in the first place was because he wouldn't stand up to his Mom and demand she allow him to date Kris. He never truly got over his unwillingness to directly confront the women in his life when they walked all over his rights.Until he learned how to do that, he would never really deserve Kris. Yet wouldn't it have made a better, more interesting show if he HAD learned how to do that, rather than simply letting Kris get away from him for lack of the guts to fight? Wouldn't it have been nice if Matt had actually stood up to Junior, instead of letting Kris' overactive guilt complex compel him to make peace with a guy who was clearly willing to use his money and power to manipulate everyone around him into doing whatever Junior wanted them to do?It would also have been real nice if everyone else would have acted like the adults they claimed to be instead of relying on Kris to be the grown-up for them. That was so much pressure I'm not surprised the poor girl cracked.Deliberately marrying into Davis Farms is DEFINITELY an insanity warning sign.Jean and Pablo finally getting together was nice, but frankly, that should have happened years before it did. By the time it happened, kinda like Luke and Lorelai of 'Gilmore Girls'...no one cared anymore.We only have so much patience for the will-they-or-won't-they tug of commitment-phobes who are more afraid of humiliation than unhappiness.In real life, people don't get married at 21 and they certainly don't consider themselves as having "lost" someone forever simply because someone else is dating that person at the moment. Sixteen-year-olds think that way.

soul_scion OK, I thought this might be an 'OK' TV series when it aired here in the UK. I was right - it is just barely 'OK'. Nana Visitor is good, even Micah Alberti. That's about it. And it's hardly ever about the horses. Whenever I tune in it's some silly teenage angst moment and I never feel we're properly inhabiting the world.The acting really lets the show down, especially Ryan Sypek and Nicole Tubiola. There's no real sense you can gauge from them. At all. Genevieve is alright, though not a strong enough lead really.The stories are flat, the script uninspiring, the locations alright, the characters missable. The production value is obviously low because the club Junior sets up is tacky. And of course, we have to have a club where all the young uns can hang out, I mean that hasn't been done to death in teenage shows already..! Unless there's nothing else coming on TV, I wouldn't bother. 'Gossip Girl' which has just started to air here in the UK is waaaay superior if you want teenage drama. And there's always 'One Tree Hill'.

krenee321 Okay, I have watched wildfire since the very beginning last year. And I have loved it ever since. At the beginning 'like the first episode' I thought that Kris should be with Matt, but like as the series went on I realized that Kris and Junior should be together!! They are like so perfect for each other! And from what I've read the 3rd might, contain a choice of Matt or Junior for Kris. And I really hope she choose Junior because the entire time he has been totally devoted to her, and he only dated Rebecca to get over her.. 'Which he never will!' But Matt keeps saying that he likes her but the entire first and second season he was like with some one! First it was Dani, then it was Tina Sharp, then Dani again, and then finally Gillain. Compared to the one girl Junior had and like the three Matt was with. You can totally tell that Junior loves her more!!!
