The Sticky - Prime Video<\/a>In a small town in French-speaking Canada, almost all of the world's maple syrup production is concentrated. Ruth Clarke, who lives by selling syrup and whose husband is in a coma, suffers from the corrupt and despotic management of the Federation of Syrup Producers. Remy Bouchard, on the other hand, is a forty-something who still lives in his father's house and works as a security guard at the Federation's warehouse. Finally, Mike Byrne belongs to a family of gangsters, but no one gives him serious jobs because of his ineptitude, so he acts as an errand boy. These three characters decide to undertake together the theft of hundreds of barrels of syrup, worth millions of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term sticky <\/em>which gives the title to this series would come to mean sticky<\/em>in reference to maple syrup. This is a series of local character, of Canadian production and geographical and cultural references fully ascribable to the French-speaking region of Canada, but which is universal in its development of the story, in the characterization of its characters and in its way of narrating. The Sticky<\/em> is a tragicomedy, which alternates comedy due to the tragic situations suffered by its characters, with suspense and drama in the background. One of its greatest virtues is its restraint in knowing how to ridicule at every moment, expose the absurdity of the situations and use wit, as well as giving credibility to the drama of the protagonists and encouraging the viewer to empathize with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series, consisting of six episodes (and awaiting a second season), is inspired by a real event: between 2011 and 2012, thieves stole almost 10,000 barrels of syrup over several months. A label informs at the beginning of each chapter of this circumstance, but to indicate, precisely, that it is not intended to reconstruct that episode. It is not, therefore, a historical series, but is based on a juicy anecdote to design three endearing characters and mold this work to the patterns of grand theft stories: designing the plan, arming the material and executing it, with the corresponding subplots. It is a story starring society's outcasts, whose worth runs parallel to the achievement or failure of their ambitious plan.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
