Finished Spider Noir early this week (Swype’s first interpretation was Shower Now 🫠). These days, I always get nervous when I approach the end of a season-long storyline, but this one worked. So often they don’t. Nic Cage got one episode to go full Cage and I think that was the right amount.
We watched in color since we both agreed that the black & white looked too sharp. It’s a modern piece in a noir setting; in color, it is exactly what it claims to be. Palette-shifted to B&W it looks like a fake. Maybe with some treatment, it would have played differently. The color was almost perfect, imo. The palette wasn’t too bright, although I might have preferred slightly less realistic hues in order to mimic colorized versions of old movies. But then again, maybe not–I would have to see it to know if it was what I truly wanted.
In the end, the only part of the show I actually disliked was that it had too many commercials (Amazon Prime 😖).
