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.

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...

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.
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.

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.
