Loosely based on the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist of 2011 (a real thing, I checked), The Sticky delivers a tale of attempted robbery laced with plenty of dramatic irony and eccentric charm.
The juxtaposition of quirk and crime in a small northern town evokes obvious comparisons to Fargo, though The Sticky feels like a sanded down version with significantly less edge.
The final two episodes were definitely the best of the bunch, but there were still pieces that just felt like they were missing. It may not stick the landing for everyone, but if you’re a fan of offbeat comedies or crime-dramedies like Fargo, this one is worth a shot.
