'The Sticky' is an enjoyable Canadian caper led by Margo Martindale

Loosely based on the true story of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist, this Prime Video series, led by Margo Martindale, is a dark comedy akin to 'Fargo.'

In 2011 and 2012, over a period of several months, some 3,000 tons of maple syrup, then worth $18.7 million were stolen from a Quebec warehouse, in what became known as the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. That was serious business in Canada, whose flag is the maple leaf and which supplies most of the world's maple syrup, but it is also undeniably amusing.

This brings him within the orbit of Mike , the ineffectual local representative of a Boston mob, who in turn will reach out to Ruth, seemingly an old friend; their history — more specifically his history with Martin — is unexplored, but I assume we will learn something in a second season. And so a gang is formed.
