Supacell

There have been a million series about superheroes and the powers of the main cast. Nothing new here. But, the overall story is unique. London is a nice spot. Showing us the different black immigrant classes is a very refreshing take - virtually everything I can think of set in London pretend they don't exist. The gangster undertones/stories are also interesting, if only to see how it differs from the US. I think the characterizations are pretty good, and the acting is excellent. All that said, this isn't a masterpiece of TV. But it is way more entertaining than the Marvel drivel of recent years.

Well, what can I say? After watching the trailer, I binged the entire first season of Rapman's Supacell in one sitting. I'm excited to do the same for season 2 and see where the story goes. It reminded me of Top Boy and Misfits but with its own unique style. If you enjoyed those series, this is definitely worth a watch. The show has intriguing characters and a compelling storyline.

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Rapman and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.

Supacell deserves a 6.8 at minimum!!! I just finished it, and really really enjoyed it. I'm a sci-fi connoisseur, especially British sci-fi. I'm glad I took a chance on it, even though it had a 5.8 when I started it. Based on the description I was initially worried that this would just be a knockoff of the cult classic Misfits, but I was pleasantly surprised!!! I would consider it a mix of Misfits and The Lazarus Project, but with its own intense atmosphere.

One of the main characters is part of a violent gang, and that's an intense part of the plot. I'm a privileged white American who's never been impacted by gang violence so I can't speak to how accurate of a portrayal this was. But it FELT very real to me. I feel like I got a small window into what that life might be like. Tosin Cole was excellent, and you really feel emotionally invested in his quest. The actress who played Sabrina was great as well. The VFX and SFX for the superpowers were awesome, and most of the acting was pretty good. It has plot holes, as others have said, and parts are predictable. But it was engaging and enjoyable, which is what we all want at the end of the day.

This is a great production that is very entertaining, but just like they exist in London, we have them here in the States, and they hate everything that showcases Black people. One hater wrote, "The great reason why kids on crack shouldn't write scripts for TV series kertantal6" The review was eventually deleted.

Encourage your friends and family to watch the series and to write a positive review. If you wish to see season two, let's not leave it in their hands to destroy this worthy series.

"When five regular South Londoners find they have extraordinary abilities, it is up to one guy to pull them all together to save the lady he loves."

It sounds like something that has been done before to include all the gang stuff, but this is an excellent show that is easily binge-worthy. Again, it's not exactly new in concept, but the approach that was taken and the acting make it enjoyable throughout every episode; it doesn't disappoint.

Writer/Director Rapman and the ensemble cast did a great job. Hopefully this will go into a second season; the entire team, along with Nadine Mills, aka Sabrina, who is gorgeous, deserves it. I'm looking forward to more Supacell.

I'm not sure why there are so many low ratings, I thought this was a breath of fresh air in the superhero genre. Kind of top boy meets misfits, low key British drama with mostly black cast. I feel that the low ratings must be from Americans who expect super over the top storylines.

Supacell is a unique take and I felt it captured the reality of what would happen if south london gang members all of a sudden had superpowers- of course they'd be using them for their own selfish needs, humans generally would. I thought it was an interesting thought experiment and it was a delight to watch. I hope there'll be a second series!
