I am feeling a little bit guilty about giving the first episode a 6 (fair score) because I absolutely loved this show as a kid but taking all into account 6 is, well... fair. It's not the best start to a series, I assume it was produced as a pilot of some sorts, given the four-month break between this and the second episode. It just tries to convey a lot of information in its twenty minute runtime slot and because of that it does feel like an infodump in places.
The antagonist here isn't the most exciting and being a Spidey fan you already know where this is going - Curt Connors, neogenics, becoming a lizard... Eddie Brock (voiced by Hank Azaria) and Felicia Whitmore get their introductions too.
It is serviceable. It's fine. Every show has to start somewhere, and this is how this marvel of a show started.
