The Tick
Recap
A strange bit of information sends Dangerboat in to lockdown. Dot frees Overkill of a burden and joins him on a mission. Meanwhile, Superian takes Arthur's advice - badly.
Review
Another hilarious and action packed episode filled with interesting character dynamics, exciting advancements to plot, and even more new characters revealed.
This was one of the more eventful episodes of the series so far. Between Superian’s unhappiness with how he’s viewed on social media coming to a head, Dot helping Overkill to get back to his old ways, and Miss Lint showing that she may truly be one of the good guys now this episode had a lot going on but was very well paced.
The episode even finds time to give an interesting and tragic backstory for Danger Boat adding depth to the character while also explaining why he doesnt fly. Leading to our heroes being trapped inside while Danger Boat is about to have a literal meltdown.
The cast has developed a great chemistry at this point and they have portrayed interesting and complex characters with a great group dynamic. Their emotions and interactions feel genuine, even in situations like a computer AI recounting his emotional past to the awkward Arthur.
This was a great episode with a lot of exciting developments, opening a lot of doors for the rest of this season.
Final Thoughts
This was an eventful and exciting episode filled with interesting developments and a great team dynamic.
