The first episode of Spider-Noir (noir version) was very good.
When this project was announced, I rolled my eyes, probably literally.
The first trailer immediately changed my mind, and the follow ups only increased my anticipation.
If the rest of the series matches this premise, I'm going to enjoy myself. Maybe a lot.
And I generally don't like Nicholas Cage, as an actor or human.

Three episodes in, and it's a really good show. This could turn out to be great.
Spider-Noir needs to be watched in Black and White because it's absolutely beautiful.
Even if you watch the full color version, as I probably will, please watch it in B&W, it's amazing.
The dialogue, production design, acting, humor, and story are very well done.
Though noir isn't technically mid-30's, I love how they combine 30's gangster and 40's noir elements.
The subtle and explicit social, economic, cultural, and political (*everything* is political) elements are handled beautifully, seamlessly blended into the story, as these things are in reality.
Sometimes merely commented on, sometimes left in the background, sometimes hammered home.
Spider-Noir has a style of realism, like #ThePenguin and #Andor that elevates it.
#MCU: Take note.

The music in the first three episodes of Spider-Noir is pretty good, including the show's theme song, some nice arrangements of standards, and, I think, an original song, referenced as such in the dialogue, but I haven't checked to confirm or refute.
Episodes four and five don't really have (#diagetic) music.
I haven't (yet?) found any element of the show that isn't at least good, or better.

The last 3 episodes of Spider-Noir lose some narrative steam, but overall the series does a great job of being true to the noir genre as it cracks the mold and adds humor and superheroes.
Worth watching.
This thread refers to the Black and White version. I may watch it in color, but that might be too garish, rather than restrained like the greatest neo-noir, Chinatown.

The visual splendor of the Noir version of Spider-Noir has me less enthusiastic than I was before I watched it to see the "True-Hue" color version, which looks good in the trailers.
However, the details of the Noir version can't be replicated in such heavily saturated colors, and that will alter the experience.
Maybe they do interesting things in color not possible in Black and White?

I can't overemphasize the excellence of the cinematography, lighting, and camera work of the Noir version of Spider-Noir.
The sound design is also very good but, along with the other elements I've praised in this thread, might have a slightly different impact in color.
