Alex Godfrey of Empire Magazine wrote in a review that the series “just gets better and better, with a rug-pulling season finale that delivers on every level, with Nicolas Cage in the middle of it all, fulfilling a lifelong dream he possibly didn’t know he had, with every pore of his body, every restless, fizzy atom of his being.”
Spider-Noir is available on Prime Video both in true-hue color and authentic black-and-white.
