The Tick

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
