The Tick (2016)

The second time The Tick has appeared in the top 100 is the also the second live action version of the show. This version went two seasons on Amazzon Prime, and still deserved so much more.

The Tick was portrayed, this time, by Peter Serafinowicz and Arthur was played by Griffin Newman.

This Amazon Prime version had more action than the 2001 Tick series. This included classic Tick character The Terror, played by the one and only Jackie Earle Haley. Season one was split into two parts, ending with 12 episodes. Season two was 10 episodes.

The series was a fantastic rendition of the show, combining the bests of both the FOX live action show and the animated program. Once again, despite critical success, it seems as other forces took out the Tick.

Serafinowicz was an excellent Tick and did some cool things to make himself stand out with the other two exceptional actors who had portrayed the big blue superhero.
