J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail To be fair, The Sticky is very clear it isn’t aiming to tell a real story... But that’s not really an excuse for the lack of authenticity or even understanding of the setting. Dec 18, 2024 Full Review David Bianculli NPR Margo Martindale, who was so enjoyable to watch on both "Justified" and "The Americans," has a blast with this leading role. Dec 16, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Both too much and not enough, The Sticky at least deserves credit for moving fast and giving Margo Martindale a well-deserved stint at the top of the call sheet. Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India The performances are undoubtedly the crowning achievement of the series. Rated: 4/5 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier I would watch Margo Martindale read the phone book (I don’t know what the tech equivalent to that would be) and she is the reason to see this meandering series. Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Lackluster season 1 that should/could improve in season 2. Rated: 5/10 Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Matt H Margo Martindale, once again, proves herself to be one of the best actresses in the business. Really well done. Love having such a fun bit of Canadian content and lore spread across the world, especially on such a seemingly silly subject like a maple syrup heist. This is a must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review CT 8 I really wasn’t expecting much, esp. with this being an Amazon original, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The language was a bit salty for my liking, but the characters were fun and quirky. As was the series overall. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Curt L I found this show very enjoyable. The on screen atmosphere was great, fun characters with great acting, story was fun. Look looked forward to every episode Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Kara M The series excels in character development, but this strength is overshadowed by a fragmented narrative. The uneven pacing and disjointed story arcs prevent the plot from coming together cohesively. Although the cast delivers standout performances, the poorly structured script is underwhelming. Furthermore, the show seems devoid of any knowledgeable Canadian influence or cultural nuance. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Marc P I loved it. It reminded me a bit of Ozark but simpler, less dark, and even funny a times. Others reviewers said it's like Fargo which I didn't see but now I want to. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review darrin s Sticky and sweet. Characters you can love and hate or love to hate. Who would have known maple syrup could be so crazy and fun. A bit quirky, a lot of laughs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
