39/20
This series reminded me of Fargo which I loved
Narrative
When maple syrup farmer Ruth Landry has her livelihood attacked by greedy competitors who were once her friends, she hatches a plan to get revenge and shake up the industry.. Loosely based on the 2011-2012 theft of $18 million worth of maple syrup from a warehouse in Quebec; five people were sentenced to prison.. it has a high rating of 8 because it kept me interested.. it’s just sad that it only has 6 30 minute episodes.
90% of it from Quebec
Margo Martindale is great by the way… I love all of her roles. I didn’t know that Canada produces over 70% of the world’s maple syrup… I remember a story about 10-12 years ago about a maple syrup heist in Quebec…
The supporting cast is also wonderful
worth millions of dollars so I had to watch this. the story has a French/Quebec flavor (syrupy analogy lol). The music is interesting because all these famous hits are tastefully recreated in French with beautiful voices. The scenery is so rural in Quebec which adds to the realism of the story.
a must watch
The story is a drama but with a bit of delicious comedy. Jamie Lee really adds to it and it was great to see her on screen again. It’s not a long-running series like many so it makes for a nice change of pace… I highly recommend it…
