. “Who the fuck are you?”"Who the fuck are you?" Martindale responds.“No, who the fuck are you?” counters Curtis.And so begins a back-and-forth with the two icons that continues for several minutes, with Curtis eventually throwing herself onto Martindale in a bear hug with a big kiss.While I won't spoil “who the fuck" Curtis is when she eventually appears in the series' fifth episode, their banter and chemistry is enough to make you wonder why the have never teamed up before, let alone even met.

It wasn't until Curtis—an executive producer on The Sticky—recruited Martindale for the lead role that the two finally came face-to-face.The result is a slick, six-episode zany drama series inspired by a real-life heist that saw more than $18 million worth of maple syrup stolen from Quebec's national reserves.

Martindale, best known for her supporting roles in Justified, The Americans, The Good Wife, and many more, plays Ruth Landry, a tough-as-nails maple syrup farmer.

It's the first time in her decades-long career that, at 73, she's number one on the call sheet.Never mind that it was freezing cold during most of filming in Canada.
