He is the wild blue yonder. The front line in a never-ending battle between good and not-so-good. He is The Tick, and now, he’s played by low-key comedy genius Peter Serafinowicz in Amazon’s new live-action series.
For fans of older iterations of the satirical blue superhero, it may be difficult to envision the British actor, whose recognition this side of the pond isn’t quite where it deserves to be, in the same shoes as Patrick Warburton, whose pitch-perfect cartoonish take on the character made the tragically short-lived tv show a cult favorite (and worthy successor to the 1994 animated series, featuring Townsend Coleman as the voice of the titular hero).
As discussed in IGN's review of The Tick, Amazon’s take on the show looks to be just as irreverent and surreally hilarious as the story has always required, but with a slightly grimmer edge. But lest you worry this is just the latest attempt to grab cash by ramping up the violence of a comic book story, or that Serafinowicz couldn’t possibly measure up to Warburton’s timeless turn as The Tick, ahead we’ve got irrefutable proof that the British comedy veteran has got what it takes to pound two-fisted justice into the hearts of evildoers everywhere.
