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 David Bianculli NPR Dec 16, 2024
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, 2024
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 Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India Jan 31, 2025
4/5
The performances are undoubtedly the crowning achievement of the series. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Jan 25, 2025
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 Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Jan 17, 2025

Vincenzo S @vinci60 Jul 4, 2026 Cartoonish and approssimate, ends the first season with nothing accomplished. Not surprised the show was cancelled before a second season. Waste of time See more Stavia B @Stavia Apr 19, 2026 I absolutely loved this show. The storyline is brilliantly funny and the casting is perfect - the main characters are hysterical and have great chemistry. The supporting cast is also good. The fact that the show was inspired by real events adds to the interest. Along the way it gives a very good impression about life and culture in Canada - at least in so far as it relates to the maple syrup industry. Overall a very original production - imagine a blend of Fargo and The Big Lebowski. It would be a real shame if a second season doesn’t emerge. See more Calvin O @Caltus Feb 3, 2026 It started well at the beginning, then suddenly it turned out to be boring, I don't know why so much high rate in this movie. I never got entertained or even laughed from the start, I did smile though but still not what I was expecting. It made me feel sleepy, in some of the episodes, I won't explain the characters or recap this movie, but if you're interested in it, then that's fine of. Everyone has his or her test of movie side when it comes in it. See more Torin F @nonlinearize Nov 25, 2025 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 @RT18804625 Sep 1, 2025 Loved it! So much fun. I’m sad there will not be a second season. See more Gareth v @geewah Jun 2, 2025 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 Read all reviews
