Spiderman
Played by Nicholas Cage
In the style of Film Noir.
Knowing Cage, it's either totally fantastic, or completely terrible. I'm hoping the former.

Two versions on Prime - you can switch between the B&W and Colour version at any time you like.
Will watch it soon. I'm thinking first run in B&W only though.

That depends
on whether they filmed it in black and white, or just turned down the colour after filming (exactly like turning down the colour on your TV).

Shot for Film Noir, which changes how scenes are lit vs shooting for normal colour.
It wasn't even going to be colour originally. It was adapted to fit both after things kicked off. This is why the colour version looks a little odd. There are some crazy colours in there though from what I've seen, so probably worth a watch in both.

The B&W seems well shot and lit, as Noir should be
Not like a colour film with the colour turned off.
Halfway through the episode I stopped even noticing it was not in colour

Yeah I am finishing some other things before I watch it.
Definitely B&W first.

The lighting is half-way there
It's like they're trying a bit too hard though.

They probably
have a Noir effect on their effects package, rather than filming on the same film as existed in the 1930's.
You are probably noticing the Noir uncanny valley...

Just watched the first episode myself
I am hopeful for the rest of the season on the back of it.
Glad he pretends to be a sexy cat in one scene at some point in the season, at least according to the trailer...
