The Chicken Sisters

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.

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 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.

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!

Many of the people reviewing (trashing) this show are hallmark die hards and can't see past the fluff and predictable romance that they're used to. This show is fantastically acted, unique in its story line and very funny in an absurd and sometimes over the top way. It's a dramady with a heavy leaning into the humor. It's got lots of heart but you have to wade through the conflict to get to the payoff. It's worth the 8 ep watch thru of the first season and I really hope it gets a second season. I can see it doing better on a more established platform but kudos to hallmark for taking a chance on a show like this. Hope they make more like it.
