Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man
This breezy, comic-book-styled Disney+ animated series follows 15-year-old Peter Parker learning to be Spider-Man, with Norman Osborn as an unexpectedly suspicious mentor. Season 1 (10 episodes) is the only season aired so far, and this report covers it in full.
Great for kids roughly 7 and up who love superheroes; most sensitive under-7s will do better waiting a year or two.
