The Chicken Sisters

I was so excited for this show because I love the book. The show is so bad it's unwatchable. I had to force myself to finish the first episode and I definitely will not be watching any more than that. The writers took everything and changed it for no apparent reason. Characters, names, locations. Even if they had left those things the same the acting is so bad. Really just SO BAD. And there are cast members in this that I normally like! They took a really enjoyable book and destroyed it. It's really a shame. This should be a quaint and charming show. Instead it's just a train wreck. I was so disappointed.

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.

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.

There is no one redeeming in this show. All seem to be terrible people. No one likes each other.

All scheming against one another. The first show I had distain for all of them.

I see why some people hated this show.

No one likable to even maybe root for. Maybe Mae but she mean.

Then there Amanda and she married but somewhat likes this guy who works for her mom. Her husband is a jerk but she wants a baby from him. Don't understand why.

I guess I'll stick it out till the end. But I thought I would like this since I'm reading the book but nope. But even the book there is no one really likable as well.

So why think otherwise.

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!
