The Tick (Seasons 1–2)

The Tick (2016) is an Amazon Studios superhero comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Creator Ben Edlund adapted his own cult comic-book character for live action, with Peter Serafinowicz as the towering, impossibly earnest Tick — a blue-suited force of nature who fears nothing and questions everything except his own destiny.

His unlikely partner is Arthur, an anxious accountant played by Griffin Newman, who has no powers at all but somehow figures out that their city is secretly controlled by a supervillain named The Terror — long presumed dead. Jackie Earle Haley plays The Terror with a quiet menace that keeps sliding the comedy sideways into something darker.

The show doesn't just spoof the genre — it genuinely wonders what heroism looks like without an origin story, and what it means to stand next to someone certain of their own invincibility. Stream all seasons of The Tick online on iFILM.
