Good Minus Liberal Propaganda

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019

The show, and especially season two, would be pretty good if they (writers, creators, etc.) could just try to tapper back their liberal agenda a bit. The not so subtle put downs of Americans, Men, straight people, and the achievements of Western civilization... while constant praise of atheism, main stream media, big government, and girl power subtracts, and distracts greatly from an otherwise amusing story. Though this show has less contempt for classical liberal ideas (or the forbidden conservative ideas) than most television / movie productions, its blatant use of them turns a purposely B rated show into a Failing grade. My advice: Watch re-runs of an 80's show instead.

Blew away my expectations and more

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019

I was disappointed by Umbrella Academy, Doom Patrol, Legion and others when the writing would start to buckle under the weight of it's forced conflicts or misunderstandings between characters. It started to seem to me that superhero shows just couldn't maintain a consistent quality and I accepted that to the point of not having much expectations each time I watched one. The first season of The Tick was pretty charming and though a comedy, Superian's line to Arthur of "just wanting to be a good person" actually touched me.

This season was even better. I'm extremely grateful to have been able to enjoy the witty dialogue, cheese and interesting developments this season brought forward. Silly as it was, I almost got teary when they made the speech about choosing love over fear.

The characters are so likable and I'm glad they gave a little something for everyone, including Dot, Kevin and their Mother. This kind of fun and heart was just the kind of show I was looking for. Can't wait for more.

LAUGHED SO HARD I CRIED - I LOVE THIS SHOW

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2019

This show is phenomenal. Just binged the second season. It went way past my expectations. Great cast, great writing...wholly engrossing. A mystic nipple, singing lobster babies, a black hole heart, and so much more. The dance parties provided much joy. Also, that ending.

Excellent Sophomore Season

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2019

Very enjoyable second season of this great Amazon show. Serafinowicz and Newman are excellent (as always) and some interesting new information comes out about some of the characters. I was very happy to see that Overkill and Miss Lint are back as neither Scott Speiser or Yara Martinez had any mention of being in this on their IMDB pages until the trailer came out a few days ago (NDA for the win I assume). Great new characters and it has some very touching moments as well. I'm just hoping that Amazon renews The Tick for a third outing. Slightly more family friendly in this go round as the profanity is much more toned down (even though I have no problems with profanity myself some reviewers complained about the language in the first season). If you enjoyed season 1 you should definitely enjoy this season as well.

Subtle but brilliant!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019

To me the Tick has never been about your run of the mill super heroes it's about average people who are trying to do something "super" with their lives, usually to overcome some shortcoming or personal failure. The actual "super" beings featured in the show are actually impaired by their personal failure of not even knowing what it is to be human or of not knowing or even in the case of the big blue guy who they are or even where they came from. I mean anybody remember the cartoon? The civic minded five? The Carpeted Man? Feral Boy? The Human Bullet? Or how about Bi-polar Bear? Deflator Mouse and American Maid? None of these character's were perfect but they all were struggling to become more than they were. This series has at least captured that and made it more relatable
with some savvy writing and modern twist. I was hopeful when I learned of the concept at Comic Con New York back in 2015 but have been pleased overall with the execution of the series. Please keep up the awesome work!

Awesome Show

Dang, one would think after the whiff of the original live-action Tick such a show might be impossible. It is not. It has been made and is two seasons of near perfection. Near perfection, then why 5 stars? Because of big blue justice, that's why! The Tick, particularly season 2, is incredibly well done, funny, great characters, great acting, solid plots and stories. I am very excited for the future!

More even-keeled, still quite good

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2019

Season 1 worked well because it was just Too Much of everything so of course there was enough 5-star goodness. Season 2 feels heavily edited by comparison: its high points aren't so high but nothing really misfires; the entire thing is cohesive and coherent in a way the first season just plain wasn't. It's hitting cute notes instead of zany notes, it kindles happiness instead of sparking joy. Still loving it, still highly recommend.

Funny, touching, and great special effects!

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019

I'm a long time fan of superhero comics, and I loved this show when it first appeared in an earlier version years ago. When it returned last year with its present cast, I wasn't sure I'd like it as much, but I was wrong. The new actors playing The Tick and Arthur are excellent, everyone in the supporting cast is funny, and there are some cool special effects. Can't wait to binge watch Season Three when it comes available!

Genuine, Earnest, Smart Comedy

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm so in love with how heartfelt this show is. Sure, it's satire, and it's great at deconstructing the tropes of the superhero genre, and the jokes are hilarious, but on top of that it struck me continuously while watching (and I got through both seasons twice in 4 days, cuz I loved it so much) just how earnest the message of "Choose Love" is throughout. Its ideology isn't subtle, but it's smart. I love The Tick and I hope that Amazon recognizes how good it is and gives it a third season.
