The Chicken Sisters

I admit that I never read the books but do know that 9 times out of 10, the books are always so much better that the tv or movie versions. That being said I started to watch the 1st episode and it was pretty cringeworthy. The perk of watching it on a streaming service is that you can fast-forward it. I managed about 20 minutes just enough to get introduced to all at least most of the characters and get a gist of the story. Then I jumped to the last episode of season 1, episode 8. The first couple of minutes showed all I needed to see during the "previously" segment.

Then I jumped to the winning results and then scanned to the end. I feel bad for Wendy and Lea. They are still great actors but this is a sad sad show.

I really don't understand all the hate this show is getting. Maybe its from the people who read the books, I have just accepted TV adaptations will usually never please die hard fans of whatever book series is being made into a show. I for one though had a lot of fun watching the show and find myself eagerly waiting for season two. Don't let the hate scare you off it is a really fun show.

I find the plot to be quite entertaining and the characters to be a really well written. It has some good actors that are time tested and I feel like some of the actors in it make the show even better. All in all a good clean show that is a lot of fun.

This is a television show about southerners in a southern town, filmed in Canada, with not a single southern actor. All of the actors use fake southern accents, portray the southerners with typical stereotypes that Hollywood and non-southerners think all southerners look like, act like, and behave like. Southerners are sick and tired of being made fun of, being ridiculed, and looked down upon. Your portrayal of people with southern roots shows exactly what you think of all of us as a whole. Stop making fun of southerners!!! This is insulting!!!!! Shame on you Hallmark, shame on you Hollywood! Enough is enough!

I never read or even knew there were books until I started reading reviews. I thoroughly enjoyed the series and would love to see another season. I appreciated the narrator moving the story along and providing back story content. I feel there are still a lot of things left unexplored that would lend well to future episodes/seasons. I enjoyed the family dynamics and the character building allowed me to be invested in seeing how they would evolve.

So hard to find good shows these days especially ones that last longer than one season. I find myself starting one episode of a series and never going back, I ended up binge watching this straight through over 2 days.

First - I need to address the reviewers that gave this a low rating: this is not a book. This is a TV series. Move on. Second - this is not your typical Hallmark show and that's OK. It's incredibly warm hearted while showcasing real people and real life issues. I think it was done really well and realistically. Third - I love the casting. I think it was really well casted w/great actors. The storyline is entertaining and brings up more of the history each show to deepen the storyline. I also think the character development was great. I fell in love with the characters. I am looking forward to Season 2!
