Is Hallmark’s Chicken Sisters losing its edge? We dive into Season 2, Episode 1 (The Train Has Left the Station) and share our unfiltered take. From toned-down characters to missing storylines, we break down what’s working, what’s missing, and whether the ending is enough to keep us watching.

In this review, Eric and Andrea from Hallmark Mysteries & More unpack the shift from the spicier Season 1 to a more “Hallmark-friendly” version—discussing Gus’s softer moments, Amanda’s surprising character changes, and the mysterious relationship rewrites. If you loved Season 1, you’ll want to hear why this episode might leave you craving more flavor.

• Why Season 2 feels dramatically different from Season 1
• The character changes that surprised (and confused) us
• How Hallmark toned down storylines from the original run
• The one ending twist that gives us hope for the rest of the season
