I am not one hundred percent sure if it was intentional, but this is like a modern-day Golden Girls (wouldn't surprise me though with all the reboots lately). This take of friends of a certain age living in a retirement area of the country with an elderly mother while discussing dating, sex, and aging is just as hilarious as the aforementioned sitcom. It has just as much heart too. Come to think about it, many of the characters share qualities with the GG! There's a stylistic, sassy one and a naive simpleton as well!
I have not laughed out loud this much in a long time. This straight dude is loving it!

As others have noted in other reviews, your taste for animation style may vary. I personally love that this series is using a different style, one that invokes in me classical newspaper cartoons blended with great color. The makes me think of the original Spidey stories in the comics from the 60s while transplanting in our modern world.
I've only watched the first two available episodes, and the story is a little slow. My thinking is that it's because we are still in the exposition phase, settling in with our characters and learning what similarities and differences this Peter Parker has to the many other versions before this one. I am sure the pace will pick up once we get to episode four or five.
Something I appreciate about the show so far is that it defies expectations. I see a character and think, I know how they are going to treat my Petey, but then I'm proved wrong. I think some of these secondary characters are allowed to be more rounded than in other cartoons.
Lastly, and I mean this with great sincerity, I appreciate the diversity of the show and how, while it's largely present, it's not forced down throats with dialogue in eye-rolling ways. There is a lot of representation in the cartoon and in the voices behind the characters. The Marvel world I have grown up with for over forty years is one of inclusion and pushing envelopes- two things this cartoon does in my opinion with more tact than previous attempts in the MCU.
