Spinning a spiky yarn with a memorable posse of eccentric characters drizzled on top, The Sticky lays it on thick and is all the more entertaining for it.

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. Go to Full Review

Margo Martindale, who was so enjoyable to watch on both "Justified" and "The Americans," has a blast with this leading role. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Dec 12
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. Go to Full Review

The performances are undoubtedly the crowning achievement of the series. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Torin F Nov 25 THE STICKY starts strong, with a solid cast and quirky Canadian premise. The season quickly sinks into a syrupy mire of shouty bickering characters and bad decisions, however, all of which only worsens over time. The later episodes then take an increasingly violent turn, draining most of the residual fun along with sympathy for the supposed protagonists. The show was rightly canceled, and while this single season sort-of works as a limited series, it's really not worth the time. See more Sophia D Sep 1 Loved it! So much fun. I’m sad there will not be a second season. See more Gareth v Jun 2 The strength of this show lies in it's cast of eccentric charcters (aided by it's clever casting) and it's quirky story. A show you can binge in an afternoon and walk away entertained. See more Tom F Mar 30 You had me at “Margo Martindale participates in a heist of the Quebec strategic maple syrup reserves” and the payoff lives up to expectations in a bingable six episodes. See more dave b Feb 23 I was all in, until the final minute. Season 2. NFW. They steal the syrup, they get a lot money. No Bo and coma Martin for season 2. And what is with fake building with 2x4s? It is Quebec. 2x6s minimum. See more Matt H Jan 20 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! See more Read all reviews
