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!

I quite enjoyed the show overall up until the ending, but it was so frustrating how stupid the characters were. They were literal idiots which was so frustrating. Things happened because they were stupid or did stupid things. It was really frustrating to watch. Things happened because the plot needed them to happen even if it didn't make any sense. I would probably rate the series a 8-9 if it werent for the lazy writing.

Why can't people talk like normal people and communicate important things in a few seconds instead of letting interruptions get in the way?? It is fake tension and lazy writing that adds nothing to the story.

The ending wasn't suprising, but it could have been written better.

Also time travel just ruins everything. Never ends well.

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.

This feels like a comic literally put on screen without adapting. So many plot holes and scenes that just wouldn't happen (even without the powers) but overall still fun.

Nice to see some good representation and the acting is good. The biggest let down is the awful black stereotypes put on display. This was a great chance to dispel some of those old myths but this just reinforces the young gangster vibes, the deadbeat dad, the difficult woman who is also just a push over for her man etc. Could have used the chance so much better.

Saving grace is that the story is fun and makes for easy going watching.

Not original, a lot lifted from other shows like Misfits but still good fun.

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.
