    I think season 2 does a fantastic job building up backstories and provides much-needed character depth and development that wasn't really as prominent in the first season. However, The lack of a quality villain and having a rather predictable story definitely takes away from things. It was still an enjoyable season but there was a lot more focus on the drama than on the laughs while seasonI think season 2 does a fantastic job building up backstories and provides much-needed character depth and development that wasn't really as prominent in the first season.

    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.
