Alicia I love this movie so much

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

angeljosh This was such a good show. I don't know why they didn't do a second season. Now it's sad to watch because nothing's wrapped up.

nagoyaclark Wow. I must say I was blown away by what I found to be a really appealing cast. It's one thing to be good looking, but none of these characters brought the usual smugness that so often comes with the looks. It was so refreshing. The acting was really solid. And just when you think you've figured the story out, they throw you a good twist. I was really impressed. I mean, the story is simple enough, but they seem to have somehow warped the formula to make it more than the sum of its parts. It felt almost sincere. Especially for a Canadian drama. Could have fooled me. Better than most American ones, AND it looks great. So rare. Way to be CBC. It was my first episode but I'll be back. In fact I'll have to go backwards to see what I missed.

vcw-1 I may be addicted to this show. Its like a new Canadian 'Dallas' - a little more sex, better scenery (cause its in Calgary) and some really good actors. First and foremost - Gary Hudson - aka, JR, aka the patriarch of the McGregor family. He plays that character so well. I have seen him in a number of shows and never disappoints. Great facial expressions, lines delivered really well and he is going to be one of those characters that you love to hate - and hate to love.Maggie is also a great character - as are her daughters. And the youngest is an up and comer for sure.Looking forward to watching every Tuesday!

Jason Daniel Baker As an avid fan of the American TV series Dallas and as someone who partly grew up in Calgary, Alberta I often saw parallels with life in Canada's oil patch and that show.Wild Roses is a Canadian take on that series which I believe captures much of what made Dallas so great. If you were a fan of Dallas and couldn't get enough this may well serve as a satisfying fix of more.We have two families, the wealthy MacGregors who own massive holdings in the petroleum industry but still keep livestock. Their neighbors the Henrys own Rivercross, a small cattle ranch on what was once MacGregor land but was bequeathed by the former MacGregor family patriarch (the current patriarch being David MacGregor as portrayed by Gary Hudson) to his ranch foreman and David's close friend Max Henry, the man who married David's former flame Maggie (Kim Huffman).The ties between the two families do not merely lie with the proximity of their homes and the friendships of their patriarchs. David, the new head of the MacGregor family was once engaged to Maggie Henry who inherited the land after her husband's death. David covets the land but also has unresolved feelings for Maggie who married another man.David and Maggie's children also have friendships with each other which become strained each time David tries to reclaim what he believes is MacGregor land.David's son Will (Steve Byers), is a slick executive for MacGregor Oil. Will's brother Peter (Adam MacDonald) is a hotheaded, hard-partying troublemaker who runs the MacGregor ranch. Their engaged sister Rebecca (Amy Ciupak LaLonde) is a materialistic sex addict with a mean streak. She enjoys the carnal pleasure of interludes with a hunky ranch hand. In other words Rebecca would have fit right in on Dallas.As the series begins Peter is in an on-again, off again relationship with Maggie's daughter Kate (Michelle Harrison), a born cowgirl/cattle rancher who has taken over management of Rivercross. Kate's musician sister Lucy (Sarah Power) returns to the ranch when it comes close to foreclosure to help her family. Their baby sister Charlotte is as headstrong as her two sisters but is more like David MacGregor than anyone in her family.Wild Roses is a terrific television drama and a very worthy achievement for Canadian television production. One hopes that with only thirteen episodes produced more will follow.
