#5 Spider-Noir, Season 1

The black-and-white cinematography is one of the most consistently praised craft elements. Critics single out high-contrast lighting, shadow, low angles, and crisp noir compositions, though some prefer the color version...

The cinematography remains polished and attractive, with Colombia, luxury interiors and international locations giving the season a premium look.

#8 Reacher, Season 4

Visual execution earns mixed reactions: one recap praises flashy aerial camerawork, while a harsh critic says the current look lacks the more artful sense of place of the first season.

Pros: pilot episode quality, drama quality

Cons: editing quality, character consistency

#9 Steal, Season 1
3.3

The visuals range from subtle, effective color and cinematography to competent but forgettable imagery that rarely produces striking shots.

Cons: family friendliness, dialogue quality
