I've heard of The Tick and I know it was on TV years ago, but never really watched it. Also I get the fact that he is a comic character, but haven't read any comic books for years. The thing is, I have Amazon Prime and keep seeing the ads, so I decided to break down and watch it. I do not watch much of any episodic TV nowadays, but it looked sort of interesting. I am blown away and it is only episode 4. This is one of the best superhero type shows, I've seen in many a year. The actor who plays The Tick is fantastic, he could be just an annoying jerk, but he comes off so naive that he is extremely likeable instead. It is such a fine line, but he does it exceptionally well. I also love the fact that he isn't one of these angst ridden superheroes whose life is like a soap opera. It is an interesting take for about 10 minutes and then it just gets old. In any case Arthur has enough angst for the both of them and he does it well too. This has turned out to be a real find for me and I'm glad I decided to watch. Give it a try, you'll be hooked.
