Critic Reviews

Joel Keller

Dec 6, 2024

An intense and funny performance by Margo Martindale is the highlight of The Sticky, but the idea that this crazy heist story could go just about anywhere is what’s the most intriguing thing about it. Read full review

“The Sticky” has learned from its predecessors’ mistakes, and like maple syrup itself has been reduced down into its most concentrated and tasty form: six half-hour episodes. .... Martindale is the draw here, and she more than delivers, but Cyr is the highlight. Read full review

Keith Phipps

The Sticky's cleverly plotted episodes — each an exercise in escalating chaos — fly by for reasons beyond their 30-minute running time, and though it plays at times like a miniseries designed to tell a complete story and call it a day, the season finale leaves the door wide open for more. That's more than welcome. Read full review

The story is never overly complicated, the pacing is quick, and you can’t help but root for many of these characters. The Sticky also has less cynical energy compared to other shows of this genre, but never to the point where it's playing things too safe. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Dec 5, 2024

A generally entertaining small town comedy, if an unusually angry one, which sits firmly on the side of the individual against the organization. Read full review

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. Read full review

Lisa Weidenfeld

Dec 5, 2024

“The Sticky” seems to have taken the core premise and just turned the volume up. Desperate people may make desperate choices to darkly comic effect, but without more depth to the storytelling, it’s hard to get too invested in them. Read full review
