      Daniel D'Addario TIME Magazine The Tick... springs into life with unencumbered vim. Jan 14, 2020 Full Review Allison Keene Collider The series' winking self-awareness makes for a fun, weird, intriguing show that has a strong sense of itself and the world it portrays. Rated: 4/5 Jan 14, 2020 Full Review Marc Silver Washington Post The show's superchallenge is to balance goofiness and poignancy, super-cheesy feats and emotional rawness. In its first few episodes, "The Tick" ticks off all those boxes. Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com Sometimes you just gotta laugh at the tropes that dominate the genre, and The Tick is more than ready to take them on with the same bombastic vigor with which he battles crime. Rated: 4/5 Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com There is extreme violence and cursing, but in a far more toned down aesthetic. It's simply a fun show that is extremely easy to binge. Rated: 4/4 Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Akhil Arora Gadgets360 There are a few stumbles early on, owing to characters and plotlines going around in circles, but whether it works will depend on your sensibilities, and how cohesive the tonal shift stays for the season run.

      Roberto L Episode 1 was good and even "clean", suddenly episode 2 had tons of cursing that didn't aid in the story and were completely out of character based on development of the first episode. Amazon has this problem with their shows. They offer a pilot that's really good and then try bait and switch in the actual series. They did the same with "Sneaky Pete." The writing is uneven, episodes inconsistent and if it had retained the good qualities of the previous shows it would be a winner...as it is there's a long way to go for a good show. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Alan A Solid superhero tv. Funny and different enough from mainstream comic book shows to deserve a watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review Gareth v I didn't mind this show. Serafinowicz is great as the tick but the shows style does wear thin. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review luca j Great stuff, it's got this old school vibe that's used perfectly. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Keith H Absolutely great show. Very fun and entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/22 Full Review Audience Member The quality, the story, the characters, the humor... I have no words to describe this master piece. The person in charge of the promotion of this show should be sent to jail. I never knew about this Tv show until I found it by luck and when I recommend it to my friends, none of them knew about it.
