Weird Mash-up "Spider Noir" spider man meets grizzled noir detective
It's about "spider man" but not Peter Parker. The protagonist (SM) is a private dick. It's got the mob and femme fatales. It's set after WWII. The "super" people in the show got their powers as a result of nazi experiments on POW. It's interesting. I have one episode left.
And you can watch in B&W or color

I watched it. It is kinda weird. It does mash up some of the other super humans from the Marvel universe. There are a lot of super humans, and tough regular humans in the Marvel universe.

I watched a bit of it.
Well done and entertaining, IMO.

If you like the old Sam Spade style of detective, and throw in some enhanced humans.

It's different. And "steals" quite a bit directly from the original Spider Man. I wouldn't call it good...we've only watched 2 episodes so far.

I started watching it, B&W was better for my taste. But first episode was slow, I don't think I finished it. Does it pick up in future episodes?
The character was first scene in the animated movie back in 2018, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which I loved, have seen it at least 6 times now. He was one of the alternate universe Spider-Mans. Thought I would like this better than I did. Cage just seemed too old too.

Agreed, Cage is OK, but not great, maybe a bit too old.

I love it for the energy and color. And Spider Gwen. Wish they'd do a real movie with her as the hero.
Is Noir worth watching?
