The Tick
Created by Ben Edlund
On Prime Video
A warmly absurdist superhero comedy that pairs genuine conspiracy paranoia with affectionate character bonds and a deliberately strange, comedic tone.
In a world where superheroes have been real for decades, an accountant with zero powers comes to realize his city is owned by a super villain. As he struggles to uncover this conspiracy, he falls in league with a strange blue superhero.
