The Tick

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

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.

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

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.
