Amazon Pilot Series: The Tick

The Tick is a fresh take on a superhero origin story.  Starting with a heroic monologue, the tone is instantly set as an original superhero comedy.  Unfortunately the pilot starts off slow, but by the end the audience can get a taste of what The Tick actually is.  All of the scenes with Tick are hilarious because he is an inexperienced hero who often comes off as an idiot.  The Tick is more relatable to the 1960s Batman series than it is to any modern superhero show or movie.  Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy, Shaun of the Dead, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace) acts a lot like Adam West (Batman, Family Guy), with a similarly powerful voice that spouts ridiculous rhetoric.  Overall the show is funny, but the pilot really needed more Tick screentime.  I would like to see more of this show just to see Tick in action.  Griffin Newman's (Draft Day) character might also become more interesting over time, but the pilot acts as setup for the two characters.
