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 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 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.

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 was so excited when this show was announced. The actresses I genuinely adore, and it hasn't disappointed me. It is not some fluffy Hallmark movie, which, don't get me wrong, I enjoy, but their shows have always pulled me.

The dysfunction between the sisters is fascinating because you see where each one is coming from. Though the husband is loathsome, his mom, played by Lea Thompson, is sweet. I would kick him to the curb.

I love the drama between multiple characters and the secrets, and every time they show the fried chicken, I want to make some. I can't wait to see how it all plays out. I love that Hallmark continues to invest in excellent shows.
