The Tick

Overall, I enjoyed the pilot episode, and would vote for it to be continued. There, that's said.

There are a few things that jar me the wrong way. Serafinowicz doesn't quite have the physical and vocal presence I'd want in the Big Blue Guy. And the suit looks a bit too rubberized. But, as pointed out in other reviews, Serafinowicz is a good actor and voice actor, and, with a commitment as a producer, too, he'll find his way with the character.

But, that aside, we have Ben Edlund back writing the Tick, and for the continuity that he'll bring to this, I'm okay with the changes that he's been making to some of the story elements (The Terror, Arthur's back story, the lack of a spoon).

And who but Edlund could give us a line like "blinded by weaponized syphilis"?

And, as a bonus, Patrick Warburton is producing.

It's fun. Is it as much fun for someone coming cold to the series, without the history that we've grown up with? That's to be seen.

Disclaimer: I've been a Tick fan since the comic first came out

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.

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

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

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.
