-
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.
-
The characters are too unformed, the story too careless, the payoff (a word loosely applied here) too abrupt, although the end is obviously a setup for a second season. .... Ruth has some funny moments, at first anyway. If only there were more.
-
The characters lack the depth necessary to sustain this meandering – so even half-amusing moments tend to flail around in a netherworld between caricatured comedy and pitiless dramatic thriller.
-
“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.
