"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."
Should be mandatory for pre-teens

"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!"
Great for an ABC Family Show

"Wildfire is one of the first original series by the ABC Family channel, and is really a quality show. Sometimes the plot is secondary to "the message" the show is trying to give to viewers, but most of the time it's very similar to an OC-type drama. Great actors and fun to watch!"
I love this show

"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."

"This is an awesome boxed set. I loved watching the pilot episode with the stars doing the commentary. They told funny stories and mentioned things I had forgotten about and quoted hilarious stuff. This is very worth buying to remember all of your favorite Wildfire episodes and I can't wait until the second season comes out on DVD and the third season appears on TV."
