Stephen King Gave a Rating to "Spider-Noir"
Even the king of horror, writer Stephen King, shared his take on social media after watching the series “Spider-Noir”, which stars Nicolas Cage (“The Soul Collector”). The story centers on 1930s gumshoe Ben Reilly, who—after World War I—acquired abilities reminiscent of Peter Parker.
“Cage is magnificent, and every black-and-white frame is pure perfection,” King wrote.
That kind of endorsement might prompt a few more viewers to tune in, though it’s not the only measure: reviewers and the public have already weighed in on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics give it 91% (e.g., professional reviews), while the audience score sits at 93%—critics vs. viewers, if you will. Recall the premiere of “Spider-Noir” took place on May 27; all episodes are available now, offered in both color and B&W versions.
