I started watching the black and white version and his hair looks much more plausible than in the colour version. ---

I finished the series and I liked it. I did not recognize Andrew Robinson as the doctor’s assistant! Not to mention that I’ve been bingeing E.R. for the past few months and I didn’t recognize the doctor (Amy Aquino) as the OB-GYN in that show. ---

Just finished it moments ago. Since it was only released a week ago, is it too early (or too late) for Amazon to announce that they’ve ordered a second season? Also, while I mostly watched in B&W, I couldn’t resist switching to color whenever I got a chance to see Robbie Robertson’s wardrobe. I wish I could pull off that look. ---

Haven’t watched it so I am curious if they kept any of the socialist anti-corruption core of the original character or if it’s the softer “PI adventurer” that Marvel has turned the character into. ---

Everyone and everybody (the mayor, the cops, etc.) are obviously corrupt, but The Spider does not seem to be on a crusade to change that; farthest thing from his mind. He, and moreover even Robertson, even vote to re-elect the mayor (as opposed to the kingpin’s latest candidate). ---

I have watched a couple of episodes so far and I am enjoying it. I did some flipping between the colour and black and white versions. I have to admit that I am pretty impressed with how good the show looks in both versions. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the season. ---

I liked it. The plot was kind of meh but the setting was really fun. Nicholas Cage at times seemed like Nicolas Cage doing an imitation of Nicolas Cage doing an impression of Sam Spade but he made a pretty entertaining 1930s Spider-Man. The other actors looked like they were having fun in their roles as well. ---

Spider-Man does whatever a spider can, but in Spider-Noir’s case, that does not include coming back for a second season. Although it had decent critical and audience reviews, it didn’t have the staying power to justify the budget. > **['Spider-Noir' Canceled After One Season By Prime Video](https://deadline.com/2026/09/spider-noir-canceled-prime-video-marvel-characters-series-1237068437/)** > > 'Spider-Noir' has been canceled after one season as Prime Video eyes greenlight for another series based on Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters. ---

I liked it, but it didn’t seem to be crying out for another season. ---

Agreed. Storyline seemed to be resolved. Worked well as a self-contained story. Didn’t need another season. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spider-noir-spider-noir-does-everything-that-a-spiders-for/1030434.md?page=1)
