Private eye Ben Reilly is living easy and lazy until mobsters, monsters and a femme fatale drag him back to his former life as NY's only superhero.

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.

The Nightly (AU)

There’s a magnetism to Nicolas Cage's screen presence you can’t ignore, nor do you want to.

4/5

More clues, more characters, more hidden abilities and more plot twists are served up -- and if none is brilliantly innovative, the whole is fast enough and fun enough to get away with it.

4/5

Audiences have had enough of the churn of movie sequels and their declining quality. But shows like this are well-crafted enough, adult enough, and just about original enough, to offer a deserved moment of reprieve.

Double Toasted

As the more of the mystery was revealed, the more I enjoyed it. By the end, I was ready for another season.

3.5/5

Nicolas Cage shines in this slick, gorgeous love letter to noir stories of old and a refreshing, bold swing on the Spidey legacy. A black & white delight worthy of your time. [Full review in Spanish]

8/10

It’s quite a bit like the unjustly cancelled HBO reboot of Perry Mason from a few years ago, but what it would be like if that run down version of a human being just so happened to posses superpowers.

Crazy performance, and the vibe of the series is excellent. Love the option for B&W, and the colored one was different to another, so that's cool. Would recommend it to other people who love spiderman.

The series is good, 9/10. The acting of the main actors is fantastic. But there are some minor flaws, especially the cut-to-cut in episode isn't neat.

Absolute cinema, best series I've laid my eyes on in 2026. Worth watching and crave for more. And as a person who is HIGHLY critical about my likings in shows? Not a single wish this or wish that. Spot on and perfect. I got fully immersed and sucked in. Not a single complaint. Loved it. They js dont make beautiful stuff like this anymore

This show is absolutely amazing. One of the best live-action Spider-Man films we’ve had in a long time. The black and white is definitely the way to watch it for sure, I love the attention to detail when it comes to both referencing the Spider-Noir comics and also staying true to old style film. Definitely a great way to get any audience today to start watching old black and white films from back then and appreciate it. Nicholas Cage kills it in this role as Ben Reilly, such a great actor. I never review or rate shows or movies but this. This is so much different. 10/10, it’s a must watch. gonna rewatch in color after I’m done black&white!
