There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Amazon Studios is really stacking up against the film and television giants thanks to its ever-increasing output of quality entertainment that it's been doing for the past decade now. The Tick is another well-realized superhero show that's fresh territory far away from the current MARVEL and DC bunch. Though I like those two companies (love 'em actually), it's good that properties like The Tick are finally getting in on the superhero craze thing that's been on a winning streak since the early 2000s. Now I'm hoping something like Savage Dragon or Hell-Boy can get similarly respectful treatment like this has gotten.

This show has a great storyline, mixed with constant humor, which plays off of every character, situation, plot aspect, and so forth. I'm very excited for the continuation of this show!!

I hadn't heard of The Tick before, so I watched the show with - so to say - fresh eyes and I was thrilled.
What makes this show so fun and sets its apart from other show on TV right now is the way it parodies the superhero genre and plays with the viewer's expectations: The Tick has no origin story like we are used to in mainstream comic adaptations - instead he has no idea where he comes from; one of the villains "lair" is her house that she still shares with her ex; the sidekicks heroic rescue of a "baby" is not an actual baby but a dog....on so an.
At the same time the show manages to tell an engaging story that centers not just around the side of the heroes, but also the villains (and antiheroes).
The actors do all a great job, and especially Yara Martinz as Ms. Lint stands out as she steals very scene she is in.

...and while I can't say better than ever, this is a worthy production.Not quite the fun, campy romp that the original(live) series was but still a solid entry. This still fun and amusing venture brings life back to the Tick and Arthur though with a bit darker of a theme...still not dark mind you, but a touch more realism that the original. Can't honestly say whether this is a good thing or not yet but so far it hasn't hurt it yet.Acting is well done and especially enjoyed Martinez and Haley as Ms Lint and the Terror.Great pacing(though with 20-30 min episodes it would have been tough to make it drag).Modern CGI work well for the show.More plot than the original and much better story.Only semi-negative is that the cast isn't necessarily completely meshing for me yet, but still early in the series.Overall, great for a quick, fun binge.
