Margo Martindale as Ruth on the poster for The Sticky.
At the start of each episode of the new Prime Video series The Sticky, a text appears on screen, proclaiming that “This is absolutely not the true story of the great Canadian maple syrup heist.” Presumably, most of the audience will not know what the hell that statement is even about. A heist involving stealing maple syrup sounds more like the plot of a madcap Coen Brothers’ comedy than something you’d hear about on the news.
What Is ‘The Sticky’ About? Rather than focusing on real-life events, The Sticky instead chooses to revolve around three misfit underdogs who couldn’t be more different from one another. Ruth Landy is a maple syrup farmer who has been standing firm on not selling her property to the corrupt chief bureaucrat Léonard Gauthier after her husband falls into a coma. Remy Bouchard is an introverted security guard at Quebec’s Maple Syrup Reserve and still lives at home with his loving father .
Martindale is always a joy to watch in every single film and television series she appears in, whether her Emmy-winning role in The Americans or her scene-stealing performance as an exaggerated version of herself on Bojack Horseman. In The Sticky, Martindale finally earns her long-deserved leading role, and she more than delivers. Martindale portrays Ruth as the kind of no-nonsense woman who other characters often underestimate.
✕ Remove Ads ‘The Sticky’ Rushes Through Its Conclusion The Sticky is a fairly short series, with this supposed first season consisting of six 30-minute episodes. It’s, of course, a more than welcome occurrence to have a show that is such a quick and easy binge, but The Sticky leaves a lot of storylines unresolved, hinting at a potential second season. This feels strange, as most of these conflicts could have easily been solved in just one or two additional episodes.
