Cage looks a bit rough (kind of puffy faced) in episode 1.

I can't tell if it's just him or the look they are going for.

Opinions?

Finished episode 1. Loving the feeling and mystery, so far. Definitely hitting that noir itch was hoping it would. I cursed loudly at the screen the moment the episode ended, and it started that, "this season..." I don't want spoilers, dammit!

Love how they are leaning in to these great noir tropes. I can't imagine this looking even half as good, in color. The use of shadows and his white eyes, during the intro, was obviously made for black and white.

And Cage's look doesn't bother me, at all.

On to episode 2!

I may have missed it…how does one switch to watching in B&W?

As soon as you hit play, you should get a pop up window asking you to choose

I'm assuming you're using a Firestick or TV app.

If you access Prime Video on your phone or computer, you can change it to B&W and then it'll sync to your Firestick.

Sugar on apple TV would scratch that Noir style itch as well.

Watched the first 2 episodes last night and it didn't disappoint! Man, I really thought Cage's career was in the dumpster but this might signal a comeback for him - it feels like the right role for him. Watched the first two episodes in color, might watch the next in B&W. Even in color the high contrast and harsh lighting is so great - and the camera work is gooood! Feels like seeing something special when you watch it.

Just wanted to say I approve..

I'm on episode 5 and still having fun.

The little scene at the phone booth where he straight up told the lady he lied, made me laugh out loud. I was waiting for some kind of witty retort to explain things. The "I lied" got me.

Why did you think that? He's had some pretty good roles in recent years. Did you see Longlegs?

I'm only on Episode 2 right now, but I'm loving your friend in this role. She's fantastic!

Finished, thought it was fun. Electro noir might be the most annoying dude ever though.

I totally agree and her and Nic's banter is the only comic relief in the show so far. (Only 2 episodes in.)
