Prime Video’s ‘The Sticky’ Is an Absurdly Fantastic Account of Canada’s Infamous Maple Syrup Heist: TV Review


Prime Video puts a unique and absurdist spin on the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist in their new dramedy series, "The Sticky"

Now, Brian Donovan and Ed Herro have put their own “Fargo”-like spin on the real-life theft in Prime Video ’s beautifully unhinged dramedy thriller, “ The Sticky.” Set in 2011 in a tiny Quebec town where syrup is king, the audience is introduced to three unlikely and outlandish characters. At the Quebec Maple Association’s warehouse, Remy is angered after being shamed and humiliated after petitioning his boss, Léo (Mickaël Gouin) for a promotion and additional security to help him guard the reserves of syrup. Moreover, when a man turns up dead, and Montreal-based Detective Valérie Nadeau (Suzanne Clément) comes in to investigate, she and local police officer Teddy Green (Gita Miller) quickly start putting the pieces together.
