‘The Tick’ And ‘The Tick: The Complete Series’ Top Out Netflix Picks In July
by Erik Amaya
Summer is in full swing. If record temperatures across the world and fires sprouting everywhere wasn’t evidence enough, Netflix’s July programming has a definite seasonal air to it. Of course, as a genre-focused site, we couldn’t help but notice The Tick is coming to the service on July 15th. The two-season wonder starred Peter Serafinowicz as the titular hero and Griffin Newman as the dependable Arthur. Like the previous live action series and animated program before that, it is its own particular take on Ben Edlund‘s comic book masterpiece. This time, Arthur’s family matters a lot more and we were given the awe-inspiring wonder that is Dangerboat — aka, Steve (Alan Tudyk). To an extent, this is an overlooked gem as Prime Video diverted resources from it to The Boys. Not that we’re bitter about that … but Newman did tell our EiC, Erik Amaya, that a third season would’ve seen animated series characters like Chairface Chippendale entering the mix.
As it happens, you will also be able to see Chairface, Die Fledermaus, American Maid, and other beloved animated characters as The Tick: The Complete Series arrives on July 8th. At least, we’re pretty sure this is the animated series as the short-lived Fox live action Tick is known as The Tick: The Entire Series! in home video circles. Either way, it’s a great opportunity to watch two Tick series and learn how a concept can be endlessly iterated.
Of course, those are just our picks for the month. Take a look at the full list of everything coming to Netflix (and leaving) next month to find your next pop culture obsession.
