The Sticky

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.

I was reluctant to watch this, due to the lack of common sense in most TV shows nowadays.

But I'm glad I gave it a go.

These are 30 min episodes that are goofy, cheesy, funny, dramatic and engaging. Likeable characters and light entertainment.

Watched all 6 episodes and I'm looking forward to a season 2. A couple of cliffhangers to end the series nicely.

I'd recommend checking this out and it's a perfect runtime that fits perfectly into a half hour show. Any longer and it would have dragged on.

The French soundtrack is engaging too. I'm going to look for it on YouTube music.

Check it out.

"The Sticky" was great fun! The entire cast was phenomenal, with Jamie Lee Curtis delivering a brilliant performance as always. But I was particularly impressed by Margo Martindale - she absolutely shines in her role. The sharp, witty dialogue kept me constantly entertained, and I'm really hoping for a second season. This show has a unique blend of humor and crime drama that I haven't seen in a while.

Here's hoping the creators decide to give us more! The unexpected twists and turns kept me guessing throughout, and the Canadian setting added a unique flavor to the story. It's absolutely worth checking out. You won't be disappointed.

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.

In rural Quebec, Ruth Landry (Margo Martindale) is struggling to maintain her maple tree farm while her husband is in a coma. The tyrannical association chief Leonard Sr. Is looking steal her property on the cheap. Remy Bouchard (Guillaume Cyr) is the frustrated lone security guard at the association warehouse. Mike Byrne (Chris Diamantopoulos) is a low level bagman with a Boston mob family.

The Fargo is strong in this one. Like that franchise, this could have been a movie or a TV show. It also has the snow, the quirky criminals and small town folks, and even the true/not true story. Homage has been paid. The actors are led by the greatness of Margo Martindale and the slightly unhinged Chris Diamantopoulos. Two things do worry me at the beginning and they do hold it back somewhat. The story is inherently silly and I'm not sure that the Fargo treatment is worthwhile. The other issue is the language barrier. That does take some getting used to. Despite the slow start, the show leaves me wanting more.
