I feel like DC comics made this version of The Tick. Amazon strayed too far from the origin material for fans. The humor is mostly gone from this COMEDIC setting.

Arthur - Instead of a chubby accountant who dreams of being a superhero this Arthur is portrayed as a borderline mental patient who spends his days and nights obsessing over the death of his father and trying to prove that the super-villain known as the Terror is alive... The Terror, for the small amount of time we see him, is actually well portrayed. The Tick is well he's bad. The costume is crappy looking, no where near the right look, and the character seems far less dense than he should be. One of the endearing things about the Tick was his childlike innocence and constant confusion. His lines aren't bad but there is something out of place about his speech patterns. He looks and sounds less like a hero and more like a guy who talks to streetlamps while wearing tinfoil on his head. Then there is Arthur's suit. Gone is the white spandex and wings that barely let him fly, the new version is a high tech, bullet-proof gizmo suit.

I cringed when I saw that Ben Edlund's name appeared under the writing credits.
