The Sticky

Nice and sweet television serie! The whole thing is good entertainment and nothing more. It is based on an actual fact but. Far from the real story that you can google. It is fast pace and short episodes wich makes it even more attractive.

And YES, as a local everybody hates the Maple cartel and does accentuate a real problem with free trade.

I have not more less to write but if I want this review to show , I need to write six hundred caracters minimum. So in my opinion this is a deterrant to many users that will simply NOT write anything substancial. So for my last 28 words, I do recommend you watch this show.

This series starts off so well and then sort of... tanks.

I didn't realise this was "season 1". I was lead to believe it was a full story told in 6 parts. Because of that, it's both not enough -leaves you hanging- and is stretched too thin.

The casting and production design are terrific, but it's like the original Twin Peaks: once the "big crime" is solved, the story's over. Trying to draw it out with extraneous subplots becomes painful no matter how much we enjoy spending time with these quirky characters.

I realise I should have soaked this review in syrupy jokes, but maple trees are always sad because they're so sappy...

Beautiful setting, and most jokes land.

Ham acting by both Margo M and Chris D. Are both a strength and a weakness to the show sometimes adding to the humor and sometimes taking away from the credibility of the premise.

A lot of the actions by Mike were really questionable and some confrontation between characters feel repetitive. I think what would've really helped is flesh out both Ruth and Mike's characters much more in earlier episodes making it a total of 8 episodes. That's why sometimes the series might feel just a bit underbaked.

Ep5 featuring Jamie Lee C is obviously the highlight of the entire series. Mad fun half hour!

Overall Holiday Season is usually a total lull of programming barring trash family movies . WATCH THIS and increase its chances of a renewal !

This is a refreshing crime comedy series! Centering the plot around maple syrup is quite ingenious and the decision for 30 minutes per episode works quite well. The scripting holds up for most of the time, sometimes you can hear the keyboards of the authors clicking.

But what makes this series really worth watching is the casting: They are all doing an impressive job, highlights are the leading role Margo Martindale and, as always, the impeccable Jamie Lee Curtis. For those two alone, my recommendation holds up.

However, be prepared for a truly disappointing last episode of season one for the incomprehensible decision to cut the story line right in the middle of the climax.

This series reminded me of the Fargo series which I loved... it's a high 8 imo as it held my interest.. just sad that it's just 6 30 minute episodes. Margo Martindale is her usual terrific self... love all her roles. I didn't know that Canada produces over 70% of the world's maple syup... 90% of that from Quebec. I remember a story about 10-12 years ago of a maple syrup heist in Quebec... millions of dollars worth so I had to watch this. The supporting cast are all wonderful too... the story having a French/Quebec flavor (syrupy analogy lol). The music is interesting as all these familiar hits are tastefully recreated in the French language with beautiful voices. The scenery is so Quebec rural which lends to the realism of the story. The story is a drama but with some tasteful comedy. Jamie Lee really adds to it and it was great seeing her again on the screen. It's not a long drawn out series like many so it makes a nice light change... I recommend it highly... a must see.
