Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man reviewed by Joshua Yehl on Disney+
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a marvelously good time. By swapping out Tony Stark as Peter Parker’s mentor and replacing him with Norman Osborn, we’re treated to 10 episodes of insidiously fun superhero TV. Given how it ends, it’s clear Marvel has a lot of juicy (and unexpected) new ideas they’re eager to explore in the second and third seasons Disney+ has already ordered. This is a truly fresh take on Spider-Man filled with many delightful surprises, from fun superhero cameos to shocking plot twists. The inclusion of real-world issues does give it an air of authenticity, although it’s essentially window dressing for a fun action show with great characters. And while the animation has some distracting quirks, overall, it works quite well. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has lively pacing, the writing is as sharp as a scorpion’s tail, and it finds new ways to make you laugh and gasp every episode. For a character whose stories are as well-tread as Spider-Man’s, this is just what the doctor (Octopus) ordered.
