Having come off watching the six seasons of Schitt's Creek, where one is strongly considering giving up on the series up until and including the end of the second season, but look back upon it as a tour de force, it is a hard act to follow. Luckily, The Tick filled that gap nicely.
This is a quirky saga, with the namesake himself as inherently likable as his name is absolutely unappealing. The big
blue superhero of inexplicable origins and incredible strength is more
like a lovable puppy than the bloodsucking arachnid found on them. He’s
instantly endearing, and the more time spent with him, the more
love is felt for the good hearted and largely clueless crusader.
His companion in fighting evil is Arthur, an accountant by trade, with a traumatic past that haunts him. His whole family has bubble wrapped him and you can see why, but when push comes to shove, Arthur is braver than I would be but without super powers to back it up. They combine their talents and fight the good fight. This is a very enjoyable diversion leaving you smiling every time.
