Season 2 Review:
Anyone who thought the initial season of The Tick was good but mildly underwhelming will find quite a bit to like here. After years of people trying to tell this story and either failing entirely or succeeding when no one was looking (see the criminally overlooked 2001 series), this feels like the iteration of The Tick we’ve all been waiting for.

Season 1 Review:
All of this is played for laughs, but the kind of laughs Edlund goes for may be challenging for some viewers. It's silly, of course, but mostly, the show is droll. There are few, if any, sidesplitting moments and you have to listen carefully to catch some of the deadpan moments. ... Any time you have Jackie Earle Haley playing a supervillain, you are in good, lethal hands.

Season 1 Review:
Big, colorful and goofy, The Tick returns at a more hospitable place and time -- on a streaming service (Amazon) that doesn't mention ratings, at a moment when pop culture is already crawling with superheroes. That could make the third time the charm for Ben Edlund's comic-book spoof, which is fun, even if it doesn't quite get under your skin.

Season 1 Review:
Too much angst weighs down the casual juvenile nature of the series. And Serafinowicz inevitably pales in comparison to Patrick Warburton, who originated the live-action version of the character in 2001. ... The energy of the series noticeably improves once [antihero Overkill (Scott Speiser)] inserts himself into The Tick and Arthur’s adventures, in part because he provides a surly, pointed balance to our soft-hearted heroes.

Season 1 Review:
So there are moments, lines and characters that work. But in the big picture, this Tick’s core problem is that cape-oriented meta-commentary and deconstructions of superhero tropes are now pretty common, and these six installments take too long to get where they’re going.

A trainwreck of a show but you can't stop watching and laughing it's a simple pleasure yet a guilty one

Не люблю всю эту супергеройскую тематику, но этот сериал - это нечто! Побольше бы снимали таких шедевров
