Anita Gates New York Times 10/24/2019
Mostly, "Wildfire" is a copy of "The O.C.," moved to New Mexico, a semisexy nighttime soap for teenagers cast with gorgeous young actors who all look alike. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 10/24/2019
Would that "Wildfire" was more interesting and less ridiculous, that it didn't rely on a paint-by-number plot and contrived characters. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 10/24/2019
[Genevieve] Cortese stands out... Even as a novice, she transcends the derivative material. She might not be the next Shirley Temple, but Wildfire is a start. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News 10/24/2019
2.5/4
There is a fair amount of sap in the two-hour pilot, but there also are good-looking young actors, solid support from veterans and a plot that makes you root for the flawed teen-age heroine who is getting a second chance in life. Go to Full Review Brenda Kienan Common Sense Media 10/24/2019
4/5
The themes here -- that everyone desrves another chance, that risk can have reward, that we are not defined by our pasts, and that family and friends pulling together can make a great difference -- definitely make Wildfire worth watching. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Louise C @RT69763679 Jul 15 A good start to this series. Nothing really outstanding, but pleasant characters mingled with unpleasant characters looks promising for interesting viewing. See more Margherita H @RT67016213 May 19 Oh my seems like some people totally missed the point! Pound puppies isn’t about my dog, general hospital isn’t about medical procedures and Wildfire isn’t about the stable; it’s background folks don’t be so hyper critical. It has a great cast and a good story. I wish they would make more seasons. See more Robert M @RT53868205 01/11/2025 The reason why I think this show should get another season is because of the love that they have for the family and friends and for the horse. See more Alice H @RT41296779 10/03/2024 Ridiculous how many times Kris goes back and forth between men then back to Jr. Could have done way better. See more Jan S @RT48687654 06/27/2024 Absolutely poor representation of a training stable and all of the actors needed to actually know how to ride. Couldn’t take even the first episode., See more Read all reviews
