just sad that it's just 6 30 minute episodes
Plot
When maple syrup farmer Ruth Landry finds her livelihood under attack by greedy competitors who were once her friends, she concocts a scheme to exact revenge and shake up the industry.. Loosely based on the 2011-2012 theft of $18 million worth of maple syrup from a storage facility in Quebec; five people were sentenced to jail.. This series reminded me of the Fargo series which I loved... it's a high 8 imo as it held my interest..
love all her roles
Margo Martindale is her usual terrific self... I didn't know that Canada produces over 70% of the world's maple syup... 90% of that from Quebec. I remember a story about 10-12 years ago of a maple syrup heist in Quebec...
The supporting cast are all wonderful too
millions of dollars worth so I had to watch this. the story having a French/Quebec flavor (syrupy analogy lol). The music is interesting as all these familiar hits are tastefully recreated in the French language with beautiful voices. The scenery is so Quebec rural which lends to the realism of the story.
a must see
The story is a drama but with some tasteful comedy. Jamie Lee really adds to it and it was great seeing her again on the screen. It's not a long drawn out series like many so it makes a nice light change... I recommend it highly...
