I wished Hulu or somebody else can bring this back. This show was so damn funny

This is only my second review on this site, and I hesitated to even write it. But the more I watched of this show, the more I felt an obligation to. The title really says it all, the special effects are lacking at times (pretty obvious green screen in one scene, cheap- ish looking costume in the next), and it doesn't matter in the slightest. I haven't read the comics, at least not yet, so I can't speak to whether or not this is a faithful adaptation. But it's more than just entertaining. In every moment of it, you can see and feel that someone put their heart and soul into this show. It's leagues ahead of any Marvel/Netflix series, solely because it's not just about superheroes running around being invincible and fighting evil. It refuses to take itself too seriously, while still somehow being an effective human drama, and a good comedy to boot.

There are no huge action setpieces, though you do get to see people deflecting bullets and punching henchmen through walls. However, that's not what you should watch this for regardless. You should watch it for the story, because as short as this season is, it's expertly crafted. If you're looking for Luke Cage or Iron Fist, look elsewhere. In my humble opinion, this is better than both of them combined.

First let me give a disclaimer, I have been a HUGE Tick fan since they day I saw the first cartoon back in the 90s. People have to remember that the Tick has always a mixed bag, you either love him or hate him. It's a parody of all things super hero, even though this time there is a bit a seriousness. When there is a serious explosion, afterwards you look for the bad guy dangling from rooftop begging for help.

I think the last live action attempt was better in some ways, in other ways I think this one will be better. I won't deny that Patrick Warburton was perfect in the last one. But Peter Serafinowicz is also pretty good. He really doesn't have a lot of screen time to judge by. But when he does he does a good job. His monologue at the end was great and I could really see him as the Tick. As for Arthur, Griffin Newman does a perfect job. The writing is of course spot on, because it's written by the original writer and creator. This new darker story line was a nice twist. And doing an origin story on Arthur was a bold choice for a pilot episode, because it doesn't give much screen time to the Tick.

The jokes are there, but only really when the Tick is around. So I think some people will miss what I think is the writer's intention. Where as before it was non-stop jokes and puns. This show is serious, then bam a joke/pun. I think over all it makes for a better ride.

I've been waiting for Television adaption of The Tick for years! And the show blew my mind! It's so fresh and so different than the rest superhero shows and it actually contains great message. The show should not end so soon! Please renew it for several more seasons!

My new favorite show.

Parody of super heroes Satire of Super heroes While also, still, somehow, a superhero show in it's own right. Filled with complex characters, heart string plucking hero's journey...

While also being the funniest thing on tv.

I'd say this is something new, except Edlund has being doing this for almost 30 years. He just keeps getting better and better at it.

Can't recommend any higher.

Amazing.

Please please please Amazon, keep on making this.

OK I was a 90s kid but never was really interested in the tick growing up however when I saw the trailer for this I had to give it a chance and I am rather happy I did this was exciting hilarious and action filled you really cant go to wrong here the tick himself is hilarious and is like the poster boy for dorky sidekicks however it works they are both great together I say give the tick a chance he may save your day from bordom if nothing else lol

I've heard of The Tick and I know it was on TV years ago, but never really watched it. Also I get the fact that he is a comic character, but haven't read any comic books for years. The thing is, I have Amazon Prime and keep seeing the ads, so I decided to break down and watch it. I do not watch much of any episodic TV nowadays, but it looked sort of interesting. I am blown away and it is only episode 4. This is one of the best superhero type shows, I've seen in many a year. The actor who plays The Tick is fantastic, he could be just an annoying jerk, but he comes off so naive that he is extremely likeable instead. It is such a fine line, but he does it exceptionally well. I also love the fact that he isn't one of these angst ridden superheroes whose life is like a soap opera. It is an interesting take for about 10 minutes and then it just gets old. In any case Arthur has enough angst for the both of them and he does it well too. This has turned out to be a real find for me and I'm glad I decided to watch. Give it a try, you'll be hooked.

Never had heard of The Tick. Kept seeing the silly big blue guy as I scrolled through Prime. Passed it over for about 5 months. Decided to try it and loved it so much called my husband down to watch it again. Then we called our son down and watched AGAIN. He knew this character. It's done so well, the blend of realism and the comic book world. Have recommended it to many others. So love the alternative to Hollywood drivel. Go Amazon. Enjoy Bosch as well though of course the books are best.

Light super hero fun .The show pokes fun at the absurdity of super heroes and super villains. Peter Serafinowicz is superb as the Tick

Too many shows get cancelled before they get to all the people we need more shows like this

I was very much looking forward to this, but rather disappointed of it being limited exposure on amazon. I have only a basic account, so will end up paying for future episodes if any. While not perfect, it shows promise. I did like the delivery of lines by Peter Serafinowicz as the title character, but he lacks the threatening presence of Patrick Warburton. I was OK with the Arthur backstory, but don't think it really added anything. Griffin Newman very nearly nailed Arthur, I think.

I did not like The Tick's costume. It looked cheap and cheesy. Was this intentional or were there budget constraints? Significant muscle padding may have been an improvement, since Serafinowicz's frame is not particularly imposing as I note previously. Another criticism I had was that the show is not over-the-top enough. It's like an awkward merging of life as we know it with the absurd, and they just don't "fit". I cannot imagine the plethora of ridiculous Tick characters in this universe, and I would miss that. I don't expect Chairface Chippendale or even The Human Ton & Handy to make appearances due to the apparent effort to make this series more "realistic."

That said, I think the program has considerable potential. I laughed many times, and that's what counts when you're watching a show called The Tick. If there were more episodes available at time of this review, I would have watched them. Perhaps they'll find their balance between playing it straight and embracing ludicrous.

Ok maybe the storyline isn't quite the same as the comics/animated series but that's a good thing actually. It adds a lot more fun by not being too predictable! Griffin Newman is a great Arthur and Serafinowicz had done a great job, he's a warm, funny big ol' Tick! But my favorite character is the Terror; goddamn Jackie Earle Haley NAILED IT

Having been a huge fan of the animated series and the tragically short-lived live-action one, I was excited to see that Ben Edlund was returning to The Tick well for another drink. Alas, this series shows little of what made the previous two series so enthralling.

This version of The Tick has a lot less Tick in it. This time, the series follows his sidekick Arthur, who has been given mental problems and a traumatic backstory.

This helps tone down the humor, for those who want a less funny The Tick. The show seems to want to be more of a superhero show with some humor rather than a comedy series with a superhero theme.

The Tick himself is still funny, spouting off a continuous series of nutty lines like "evil wears every mitten." He's responsible for most of the laughs, but here he is very much a secondary character.

He's also not very impressive. Patrick Warburton was a perfect Tick, big, macho, and dumb, but Peter Serafinowicz comes across as a rather ordinary oddball in a cheap suit that looks like something from a 1950s sci-fi movie (basically a leotard with a little muscling and antennas added). The effect is wildly unimpressive.

Now, the bad costumes (there's also a jumpsuit with feathers on it) may be the result of a low budget, and there aren't that many Patrick Warburton's out there, but that still doesn't explain the change of focus from hilarious superhero parody to angsty superhero series with a little comedy.

This is a pilot for a series I certainly hope won't occur. I suggest Edlund rethink things and make a different pilot with a different cast. I know it's annoying to be expected to do the same thing you did before, but when what you did before was great and your attempt to change things up falls flat, you should consider just doing the same old thing.

This show is awesome! Bringing comic book stories to life has proven difficult for many directors, but this show is definitely on target. I loved it. How in the heck did Amazon make the decision to cancel this show?? I'm pretty annoyed about it. I wish there was more we could do to bring it back.

Best superhero tv show to happen since Adam West's batman the world has been crying for a return of this style of satire for years sensational.

I feel like DC comics made this version of The Tick. Amazon strayed too far from the origin material for fans. The humor is mostly gone from this COMEDIC setting.

Arthur - Instead of a chubby accountant who dreams of being a superhero this Arthur is portrayed as a borderline mental patient who spends his days and nights obsessing over the death of his father and trying to prove that the super-villain known as the Terror is alive... The Terror, for the small amount of time we see him, is actually well portrayed. The Tick is well he's bad. The costume is crappy looking, no where near the right look, and the character seems far less dense than he should be. One of the endearing things about the Tick was his childlike innocence and constant confusion. His lines aren't bad but there is something out of place about his speech patterns. He looks and sounds less like a hero and more like a guy who talks to streetlamps while wearing tinfoil on his head. Then there is Arthur's suit. Gone is the white spandex and wings that barely let him fly, the new version is a high tech, bullet-proof gizmo suit.

I cringed when I saw that Ben Edlund's name appeared under the writing credits.

It's an 8 for me so far. I am not familiar with The Tick Comic. The show is quirky, but it's very well done with the priviledges of good writing, and an adequate budget.

I of course loved the two seasons of the cartoon and I really liked the one season of the live action. So I had high hopes for this. Well...it has its moments. But im not sure I like the whole tone of the show. It is humours but not laugh out loud funny. It gets dark in some areas which also throws off the tone alot. They guy that plays the tick is good but its like watching Adam West down to the voice. Some padding on the suit would have been nice. Wharburton really didn't need it this guy does. Even when the tick comics got violent they were over the top and still funny. I mean they were Saturday morning cartoon viewable I wouldn't show this version to kids under 14. While I enjoyed it I doubt I would buy this on DVD to keep in my collection and to me thats the number one thing that makes it a great show, that I would buy a physical copy that I could rewatch twice a year.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this "reboot" if you will of The Tick. I can see how if you are not familiar with the source material you might find it a bit campy and cheesy at parts, BUT THAT IS THE POINT. This show hits on the spirit and essence of the Tick pretty well with modern era special effects, costume design, and budgets. The writing is way better than I expected for this type of a romp. I can't wait for Season 2.

Just meh. I don't know, this series isn't good enough to make you want to watch another season. The biggest problem is the dialogue, the writing. The Tick says his random catch phrases over and over again and you're ready to be done with the entire series by the end of episode three. Whereas the 2001 live action Tick series, which I watch right after watching this one, I swear the Tick has a bigger vocabulary or something because he is an idiot but the 2017 Tick makes him seem like a genius. Whatever, I am getting off topic. The writing killed this series for me. I have zero interest in watching the second season. Amazon has better get their stuff together. This is like the second or third amazon studios thing that has left me saying meh.

I've watched this episode 3 times now. I really like it. I liked the comics and the animated series, but I didn't love the last live action version. This is by far, the best character development of any iteration of The Tick. Arthur's back store is excellent, and Griffin Newman plays it brilliantly. Peter Serafinowicz's acting as The Tick is a little rough, but he's a good actor and I have no doubt he'll pull it off. Plus with Patrick Warburton as a producer (as opposed to playing The Tick like he did the last time) I'm sure he'll coach Peter along.

To me, this is more representative of the comics, which could be darker than the animated series. Arthur's back story is definitely darker and it seems that Arthur's story line is going to carry the series forward while The Tick may be "the sidekick" to the story. I really hope Amazon picks this up, I can't wait to see where Ben Edlund takes it from here.

Just watched Amazon's new The Tick. They nailed the casting for Arthur, both voice and looks, and Ben Edlund's writing is of course amazing. The guy they cast as The Tick (Peter Serafinowicz) has the perfect voice for the The Tick, and delivers Edlund's bizarre dialogue perfectly. But Serafinowicz's face...well, he looks like an old man according to Susan. It's partially the fault of the Tick Suit, which is pretty sad. It's strangely textured in a horrible way, the less said about the codpiece the better, and the antennae in the previous live-action Tick were significantly better. I'll continue to watch for the hysterical writing of Edlund and the excellent casting otherwise...I'm hoping that if the series is picked up they'll make some "updates" to The Tick costume to make it match Serafinowicz's excellent voice work.

The Tick is supposed to be funny, that's not too much to ask when rebooting something hilarious is it? This is pitched so badly, not knowing what it wants to be and what tone it is going for that it misses every mark. It of course can't be a super hero show that takes itself seriously. I'm guessing the dark tone was supposed to contrast with the ridiculous characters and script in a funny way? It just goes too far and starts to feel like it's trying to be dramatic. Peter Serafinowicz is a pale strange shadow of the perfectly cast Patrick Warburton from the original.

I guess when rebooting you should do something different to separate yourself from the original but it seems to me what they kept from the original does not fit with the tonal changes.

This didn't make me laugh, it made me pretty bored and very sad.
