Why does everything have to be so dark/serious now? I used to like the old Tick show but this is so boring and just dumb. It's like they tried to do the dark knight thing but with comedy and it just totally misses the mark. The writing also just isn't that funny. I never thought I'd want to send Adam Sandler in to do punch-ups but they need him or somebody. I probably laughed once, sad misfire. Of the three amazon pilots I've watched, I liked this one the least and I hated "I Love Dick" so that's surprising. Jean-Claude Van Johnson without a doubt is the show that deserves a series of the three, it has smart/clever comedy as opposed to dark/no comedy. If The Tick wins, I will be extremely disappointed. Cannot blame the Tick on the actors though, they did a fine job. At the end of the day it comes down to the writing, just plain boring. Snore fest. Too bad.
