In a world where superheroes and villains are very real, unassuming office temp Arthur becomes obsessed with a sinister conspiracy he believes has taken over his City. Everyone thinks he's crazy, except his mysterious new ally, The Tick, a bizarre blue superhero who might just be a figment of Arthur's imagination....
I think it's great. Both an homage to, and a satire of, the superhero genre.
Great fun.

meh - the only decent thing, imho, was the fact that for a while I thought The Tick was in his head once they clarified that this wasnt the case, it was no longer interesting.
Oh, and relatively poor acting

I thoroughly enjoyed all 6 episodes, another 6 to follow apparently.
Far funnier than The Orville, but entirely different shows so unfair to compare really.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XumTjNQ7v3c/hqdefault.jpg"The Tick" is a live-action series based off of the popular comic book "The Tick" which also had a cartoon version. The Tick is just your simple, everyday, average... blue muscular guy who fights crime. As a superhero in The City, The Tick must fight the evils of The City and make sure that justice is always served..
A different take on comic book/superhero shows and i really liked it but only watched the pilot so far. Similiar to The Orville with enough budget/effort like other shows in their category but without taking themselves to serious.
If the Tick continues like in the pilot then i much prefer this over the recent Marvel superhero attempts like Luke Cage and iron Fist.
Great fun.
