I liked it, but I felt like it was losing steam by the second season. I think Peter Sfoakwjkzavich was a great casting choice but I was kind of "meh" on the guy playing Arthur. The best part of second season was actually Overkill and Dot. Ms. Lint was pretty great, too.

Overkill and Dangerboat stole the show on more than one occasion. Although I will admit that 90% of Dangerboat's appeal was Alan Tudyk's acting. If they had anyone else doing it I think the gags would have fell flat.
I wish streaming services would abandon the typical network model and try other release formats. I think shows like The Tick could survive longer if they didn't have to crank out a complete "season" of 30-60 minute episodes. Something like shorter serials of 3-4 episodes released periodically. They could distribute budgeting more effectively instead of running of cash by the last few episodes and it would avoid a lot of filler/fluff.

The Tick is magical, vague it seems that every adaptation of it is good. The animated show? Good. The 2000 live action show? Good. this one? A good show.

Honestly, no. The swearing was overkill and the debate as to if Arthur was just imagining everything was intensely stupid when they establish that superheroes actually exist.

Whoever wrote this should have been fired and told to take his Kickass The Movie script elsewhere.

The debate didn't even last that long. Only in the first episode and the early part of the second episode they make Arthur think Tick is a figment of his imagination but then Dot says she sees him, too.

None of the adaptations stick around long enough to wear out their welcome or submit to creative inertia. Personally I think that's the way the Tick should be, an occasional poke in the eye of the current superhero trends.

Absolutely loved it. I think it's the best live action pastiche of super heroes to come out of of late. I guess it wasn't quite cynical enough for a modern audience though.

Then they alluded that the Tick might have been an energy being that he only saw as a child which led to him being a pn over medicated wreck in the first place.

Had they not dumped a ton into the LOTR boondoggle and their new programming head scrapping whole parts of the production pipeline they could have likely had a good method for that periodic release. Similar to Netflix Quarterly launching I guess.

I think some execs are still clinging to the idea that some day these shows will be syndicated on regular TV to make more so they try to keep it close to broadcast format. Also I'm sure the back end structure of production, cast contracting, etc is still heavily tied up in the TV-style way of scheduling things.

Arthur Flashback showed his nightlight reacting and "speaking" to him as The Tick.

Also neat thing when he did that with the Terror the poster of Straight Shooter changed between cuts.

I liked it. Wish it was more monster of the week a plot with a season overarching b plot and they got a better helmet for arthur. One of things I love about this series is how ridiculous the villains and other heroes are with their gimmicks and powers. You get some of that here but if it got another season I’d want more.

Dangerboat is the best thing to exist, ever. Also, Alan Tudyk is the best thing to exist, ever. So Dangerboat + Alan Tudyk = the best thing to exist, ever^2.
Alan Tudyk is the only reason to watch Harley Quinn, by the way.

You mean the Dot & Overkill Show featuring Tick?

This series was supposed to be a cheeky jab at the modern gritty and serialized formula of super hero shows, but instead it became just like that anyway.

Funny stories about Tick and Arthur battling small crimes each episode with an over aching narrative to be tied up at the end was the way to go, not bullshit conspiracy melodrama where your title character is essentially useless.
