Inspired by the novel (of the same name), Hallmark brings to the small screen The Chicken Sisters. We have a first impression review today.
The Chicken Sisters (2024) Hallmark+ TV Show Review
In the smallest town of Merinac, people are nice. People are kind. Now there is a kind of divide between two families after a falling out between two women who were once the best of friends. Sides were taken and the women’s friendship and business splits. Now, their descendants carry on the feud and rival chicken restaurant businesses, Mimi’s and Frannie’s, continue to exist in this small town. Then things change when Amanda (Schuyler Fisk), daughter of the owner of Mimi’s marries Frank (James Kot). This inspires bad feelings between Amanda and her mother Augusta “Gus” Moore (Wendie Malick).
Now, all these years later, Amanda works at her in laws restaurant, Frannie’s, serving fried chicken and wondering how her life got to this point. Wanting to reclaim those early happier days she applies for a kitchen TV show featuring warring competitors, hoping it helps get out of a rut.

‘THE CHICKEN SISTERS’: FIRST IMPRESSION OF HALLMARK DRAMA. First impression thoughts on #Hallmark's #TheChickenSisters. #TVShow #TVReview #Hallmark+ Share on X
The first original TV show to come with the rebrand The Chicken Sisters is, well, interesting. In what was formerly known as Hallmark Movies Now, the network rebranded their streamer as Hallmark+, and presents new content on the day of this change. This is episode one of the eight part TV series, and today we have first impression thoughts.
Honestly, I don’t really first blush love the show. I like certain aspects like the narration which really helps with the telling-a-feud story aspect, and the mystery of “who” is telling us this tale; and I think Amanda is going to be an interesting character. However, just like my opinion back at its announcement, I just cannot take this seriously with the title. For some reason because of this, fully investing in the show isn’t something I can see. Weird, I know.
Beyond this, the show does surprise given its focus seems to be going to Amanda unless different episodes will shift perspectives, which is possible. The cast is good, and everything is southern exaggeration, but the show isn’t quite as squeaky cute as some fans want. If you enjoy Southern pieces, this show is dripping in that and features new stories sure to present us with ups and downs throughout this first season.
