SupraCell

I'm sure I'm not the first to make this comparison, but this show "borrows" so much from the 2006 NBC show "Heroes" its hard not to. Like, the time-related premise of the first season is literally ripped straight from season one of Heroes. The whole interconnected stories of different people whose paths eventually cross, some hand-wave explanation of how they acquired said powers, it has all been done before. I don't think this is neccesarily a bad show, but as it stands currently it just really doesn't do anything original enough to make it stand out from all the other shows about superpowers. If you haven't seen "Heroes" then you might enjoy this show, but as superhero shows go its just alright.

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.

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.

First of all, the plot is something quite different. Sure superpowers have been in multiple movies and tv series, but in these tv series, the whole plot adds something very different and unique. The execution could have been better in some parts, but in general it was a really nice and interesting show to watch! I binge watched it. Furthermore, as a white person, I do appreciate and really like the diversity! We need more series with black people. Also, I don't quite understand the whole picture yet, but I am very eager to see what is next. There needs to be a second season and why not more. You need to watch these tv series!

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!
