    Anyone who thought the initial season of The Tick was good but mildly underwhelming will find quite a bit to like here.

    Season 2 is near perfection. They nail the tone, the banter, the humor and the story is perfect comic book fodder.
    Unfortunately, Arthur is now a nearly useless character. While he steers the Tick, any other character would be more capable of that. His super-suit never comes into play this season. Worst of all, Arthur's thunder is completely stolen by his sister, Dot.
