Having recently finished the season, I will say that I liked it way, way more than I expected to. I was a little wary of the visual design, like it was trying to have its cake and eat it to between classic 4-color Kirby-era comic style and modern animation that looks computer aided (whether it is or not), but it works enough that it stops being uncanny after the first two episodes.
The writing is among the best I've seen in a TV Spider-man IMO, and threads the needle where both kids and adult fans will enjoy it.

I should state here that I'm not like A Serious Person about the character or the comic. Not speaking as a super fan, so take that as you will. But I thought it was great.
I really enjoyed the series. Using Nico instead of MJ or Gwen as a friend/ possible love interest was a cool choice. I like that they set up a jock character as a Flash type rival, then...

I like that they set up a jock character as a Flash type rival, then immediately make him one of the most interesting characters.
I like that Osborn seems to be genuinely well meaning if somewhat unethical instead of just evil. You can see how he's eventually going to fall but it's not crazy or unbelievable.
