The Sticky
Watch On
- Release date: December 6
- Age rating: 13+
- Episodes: 6
- Creators: Brian Donovan and Ed Herro
With definite Fargo vibes, The Sticky tells the true story of the 2012 maple syrup heist, which saw $18 million worth of the sticky stuff stolen from Quebec’s national reserves. When bureaucratic red tape threatens the livelihood of maple syrup farmer Ruth (Margo Martindale), she finds herself in an unlikely alliance with a Boston mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos) and a French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr), plotting the multi-million dollar heist. Coming from producer Jamie Lee Curtis, who also guest stars, The Sticky should be a heck of a good time as things spiral out of control as the criminal trio find themselves in an increasingly sticky situation.
Available to stream globally on Prime Video from December 6.
On Call
- Release date: January 9
- Age rating: 16+
- Episodes: 8
- Creator: Tim Walsh and Elliot Wolf
On Call, an “adrenalized and visceral police drama,” is a definite change of pace for Dick Wolf, the man behind the Law & Order and Chicago franchises. Aiming to immerse the viewer in the breakneck lives of the police patrolling Long Beach, California, the show uses a mixture of hand-held cameras, bodycam and dash-cam footage to create a documentary-like effect. Starring Troian Bellisario as Traci, a veteran officer and Brandon Larracuente as her rookie partner Alex, On Call should be an intense, engaging look at modern policing from the godfather of the genre.
Available to stream globally on Prime Video from January 9.
