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...

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.

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 !

"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.

A collection of oddball characters in terrible situations trying to manage a heist of maple syrup to salvage their financial problems. Ruth, whose husband is in a coma, has lost her right to sell maple syrup to the cartel, run by Leonard. It seems her husband owns the rights to harvest the syrup, so she has been fined for using his rights illegally. Remy, sort of a sadsack character is the guard at the warehouse where all the syrup is stored and was sneaking a barrel or two out of the warehouse at night, with a friend who suddenly gets killed. He is the only guard for the entire stock of maple syrup. Since Ruth got into financial trouble the only way forward was stealing on a much larger scale, and she and Remy brought Mike into the scheme. Mike comes off as a power who can get big things done. The truth is quite different. And with all the clashes of personalities and mix ups, it almost becomes a Keystone cops caper. Each time they seem to have things under control, snags happen, and their approach to trying to solve it is a great part of the humor. A cop-out is that is leads to a second season, so there are loose ends galore. And as made very clear, this is not how the actual theft was done. So this is a funny fictional account. And a very interesting cameo appearance.
