The show is good enough to keep you watching, despite resorting to the same overused tropes of the superhero genres it is spoofing.

The writing could definitely have been better and Peter Serafinowicz as The Tick is a broken record stuck on high volume, who despite occasional moments of innocence, wit and wisdom, leaves you with the picture of a loud bumbling idiot who's simply lucky to be indestructible.

However, the rest of the characters (Arthur, Dot, Overkill and Ms Lint) are well developed and drive the show a lot more than the titular character.
