Loosely based on the theft of $18 million worth of maple syrup from a Quebec warehouse between 2011 and 2012; five were sentenced to prison

When maple syrup farmer Ruth Landry finds her livelihood under attack by greedy competitors who were once her friends, she hatches a plan for revenge and to shake up the industry. I want to start by saying that I went into this show with medium to low expectations, so there weren’t any huge disappointments or real surprises.

I knew about the real maple heist, I had seen the trailer, and I thought it would be funny

And it might be funny if you like cheap Fargo rip-offs by people who don’t understand any of the functional components of a Coen Brothers movie. And I guess you could say that all the little things they lifted from other movies could be homages and thanks if they weren’t so awkward and inappropriately sure of their own uniqueness.

It’s someone’s work repeated over and over again

There’s a certain arrogance to the writing and direction that, frankly, they didn’t deserve. It's the end of a game of telephone, and the phrase is almost unrecognizable.

Sarcastic, ugly, evil, weird-evil

The only real draw to the show, the one that kept me watching until the end, was the cast. They gave it their all, even if all the characters were the same archetypes that these actors always seem to play these days.

It seems like some of the cast members can’t escape the type of cast that captured them. I want more scope for them, even if they’re really great at what they’re constantly trapped in. https://dev.kaleb.co/2024/12/11/karteng-karting-theme-club-elementor-wordpress-free-download/
