The Sticky: Limited Series (December 6)
Ever heard of the “Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist”? No, probably not…but I’m sure you’re now desperate to learn everything about it. The brilliant Margo Martindale stars as a maple syrup farmer caught up in a criminal plot when authorities try to ruin her: she’ll have to team up with a Bostonian mobster and a French-Canadian security guard to take on Quebec’s multi-million-dollar syrup supply. The show promises a cameo from executive producer Jamie Lee Curtis, as well as a perfect mix of salty crime-comedy and sweet characters.
Secret Level: Season 1 (December 10)
The creators behind Netflix’s Love, Death + Robots have made a traitorous, cross-platform move that is nonetheless extremely beneficial for us sci-fi fans! In another adult, animated anthology, video game stories unspool into standalone episodes, with characters voiced by the likes of Keanu Reeves, Arnold Schwarzenegger (and his kid Patrick??), Kevin Hart, and New Zealand’s own Temuera Morrison. Can it capture the absorbing escapism we get from playing games, or will it just feel like a montage of extra-long cutscenes? I’m sure the sage, cool-headed online gaming communities that love each title to death will let us know their thoughts either way.
