Critics Consensus

Nicolas Cage delivers a gloriously pulpy performance that makes every quip and thwip crackle in Spider-Noir -- a dazzling, stylish blend of hard-boiled storytelling and pure comic book verve.

Graeme Blundell

The Australian

It’s a lot of fun, acting and direction are exemplary, and its parade of thieves, grifters, and bouncers are wonderfully evil.

The Travers Take

3/4

Nicolas Cage gives a four-star performance in a three-star Spidey-adjacent series that is almost but not quite as gloriously unhinged as he is playing a 1930’s gumshoe who’s 70 percent Humphrey Bogart and 30 percent Bugs Bunny.

2.5/4

It’s an effective, atmospheric pastiche of studio-era classicism and comic book wham-bam, and it’s done well enough to tickle the sensibilities of old-movie geeks (me)...

It’s humorous, exciting and, most importantly, it has a strong knack for truth and justice—just like all the good crime stories.

...Spider-Noir succeeds as one of television’s most fully realised genre experiments, because every creative department commits to the conceit with remarkable seriousness.

The whole thing has a lifeless, airless, hermetically sealed quality, like a stiff museum diorama or a mint-condition vintage toy still in its original packaging.

I love this show! The black-white-version is stuuuuuuning, i like the characters and the mix between "slice-of-life" and on-going story. Really enjoying Nicolas Cage, Li Jun Li and Lamorne Morris together!

A Brilliant Breath Of Fresh Air After So Many Super Hero Projects That Struggled To Stick The Landing Or Have A Unique Voice, This Show Checked All The Boxes And Succeeded Where Many Others Struggled The Noir Feel Is Perfect, Not Afraid To Go For The Tropes And Be Silly But Still Maintain A Serious Tone. It Truly Feels Like A Private Eye Show Made From That Time, But With The Budget Of Today's Streaming Shows, While Still Having That Hokey Look Set Design, Costumes & Music - Absolutely Flawless. The Characters Are On Point, The Story Is Engaging, And Nicholas Cage Absolutely Nails The Live Action Version Of His Character. He's Cold & Calm, Wise & Whacky, Isn't Afraid To Go Full Blown "Meh-Say-Meh" Crime Drama Is Engaging With Plenty Of Twists And Turns. Brendan Gleason Is Absolutely Perfect As A Real S.O.B. Crime Boss. He Knows How To Be Ruthless & Manipulative. Definitely Recommend It In Black & White The Authentic Correct Way A 9.3/10 Absolute Must See For More Than Spider-Man Fans

Absolutely superb. It's true to the genre while simultaneously breaking through superhero fatigue in a novel and ingenious way. If you've got any sense, you will love this!

Only watch this if you are (somehow) a fan of Noir. If you find the genre campy and insufferable and repetitive (Spiderman as a down-on-his-luck private investigator--you really had no other ideas?), then you won't make it past the first 5 minutes. Every lame trope in the genre shows up

Definition from funny and intens too, from the different ways. The actors or actress successfully run their role as be the chara

Stopped halfway through. Just not for me. It felt too slow paced and the acting ranged from serious to campy which took me out of it, especially Nicholas Cage. I did like the stunning B&W aesthetics.
