You can thank fellow executive producer David Fury, as he tied the reasons behind two separate arcs in a binge-watching world to Game of Thrones, a show that everyone tunes in for on a weekly basis, and cannot stop talking about.
To want to replicate that effect, especially with a show like The Tick, is not only understandable, it’s downright nostalgic.
Rather, the executive producers behind The Tick want the fandom to engage the series with discussion and dissection, much like a popular show that is currently airing on HBO.
So, while we’re left hanging with six episodes, as any good show will want you to feel, it’s not out of spite.
