Wildfire Season 2

I cannot do justice to the storyline like other reviewers have in their reviews of this great series on horses. I purchased the available DVD sets for my teenage daughter's birthday, as she is a horse lover and really enjoyed the Wildfire series when it was on TV. I have also sat down to watch the DVDs with my daughter, and I have also been "hooked" on the story so to speak. It is an enjoyable series full of intrigue about horses, but sometimes there may be a little too much of a `soap opera' during some of the episodes for me. Overall though, I think that it is a great series for horse enthusiasts to enjoy. I'll probably also get the other DVDs in the series as time goes by. I would highly recommend this series for the teenager and/or adult who likes anything about horses, as there are great scenes about this beautiful animal - lots to love for horse lovers! Read more

I have enjoyed the series from day one. The stories are compeling. The characters are very likeable and a joy to watch. The acting gets stronger with each episode. I am looking forward to the day I can purchase the third season. I did miss a few episode's and would like to catch up with anything I might have missed. I am also looking forward to meeting Dannie's mother and what that storyline is all about. I also would like to hear more about Kris's family background. Maybe in the fourth or fifth season?????????? Thanks. Read more

The discs come in a plastic snap case. The discs play fine. “Wildfire” (2005-2008) starts off strong. The pilot movie (the first two episodes) is five stars, as good as any movie you’re going to see. It’s all about a horse named Wildfire helping a girl work her way out of prison camp and then the girl saves the horse’s life later in return. It’s a fantastic stand-alone movie. The pilot movie stuck in my mind after I watched this series years ago, and that is why I bought these DVDs, to rewatch the pilot movie. After the two pilot episodes the show turns into a mediocre drama, which is why I give the first season four stars. Hearing the protagonist say, “It will never happen again” several times when she is caught screwing up makes you stop believing her. After the pilot movie (the first two episodes), the show is less about the original protagonist and more about other characters in the series. Season two has a scene where viewers are supposed to believe Junior Davis has never seen a colt born before. The guy grew up on a horse breeding farm and we’re supposed to believe he’s never seen a baby horse born. I have seen a colt born and I’ve never lived on a farm so I found that scene unbelievable. The series continues to be a teen drama and less entertaining than the pilot, but I did enjoy watching many of the guest actors, some of whom went on to bigger roles in other shows, including Breaking Bad (2008-2013), so I give the second season four stars. Season three is the “let’s play cowboy and cowgirl” season. By the third season the main protagonist seems dumber and less likeable than she was at the beginning of the show, and I was bored silly with the rotating relationships, partner swapping, love triangles, etc., which is why I give the third season three stars. Pablo is the only character in this series who seems to have a moral center. Season three will be the last season I watch since I can’t remember anything memorable happening in the fourth, final season when I first watched it years ago, and besides that the DVD price for the fourth season is as much as the first three seasons added together, so I wouldn’t buy it anyway even if I wanted to rewatch the fourth season. There is so much good stuff out there to watch, so much better stuff . . . Read more

Wildfire not only presents outer visible behaviors of developing characters, but also delves into deeper psychological aspects of behavior 'whys'. Outer behaviors of both man and beast create fun and games but interior motives give a story depth and interest. A horse is a horse is a horse until you get to know the animal. Same with ex-con and gutsy race jockey, Kris, as well as the other well-fleshed out characters. Miss Cortese perfectly portrays Kris with superb facial expressions and body language. Fine actress. Adult fare. Too bad the producer/director/script writers weren't more discrete in the 'almost-too-many' sexual scenes. This could have become a classic adolescent-into-teen-into-adulthood treatise on life. We all seek accomplishment recognition, but life often throws unexpected glitches in our path and it's who we are inside that determines our response. Read more

This is one of my favorite shows and I absolutely loved being able to watch any bonus features included as well. If you love a show about people with a troubled past making good for themselves then this is the perfect show for you. Also if you enjoy tv shows that include animals, especially horses then you would truly enjoy this show as well. Read more

I find myself captivated with the show in season one and could not stop watching the series until I have seen them all. Certainly, all the characters was good, but Kris is the one who drew me into the story-line watching and waiting to see what young man will end up with Kris. Therefore, I am only up to seasons two, and cannot wait to watch seasons three for the revealing. I totally, enjoyed Wildfire! Read more
