The Tick is supposed to be funny, that's not too much to ask when rebooting something hilarious is it? This is pitched so badly, not knowing what it wants to be and what tone it is going for that it misses every mark. It of course can't be a super hero show that takes itself seriously. I'm guessing the dark tone was supposed to contrast with the ridiculous characters and script in a funny way? It just goes too far and starts to feel like it's trying to be dramatic. Peter Serafinowicz is a pale strange shadow of the perfectly cast Patrick Warburton from the original.

I guess when rebooting you should do something different to separate yourself from the original but it seems to me what they kept from the original does not fit with the tonal changes.

This didn't make me laugh, it made me pretty bored and very sad.
