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:
If The Tick lightened up any more, it might float away, and we'd gladly go along for the ride. [21 Aug - 3 Sep 2017, p.13]

Season 1 Review:
There are just too many notes and written in the wrong key. Arthur’s denial becomes tiresome after a few episodes and creates an adversarial relationship with The Tick. The two will likely get along by the end of Season 1, but that’s too much time wasted watching Arthur create his own obstacles to a better life. Worse yet, it bogs down a show that doesn’t listen to its own inspirational narrator.

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.
