Supacell

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 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.

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.

This show is really impressive. It's British and set in the mileu of black Londoners of varying classes and backgrounds. The characters are varied and interesting and the performances are outstanding.

The story moves along at a steady pace without awkwardly slamming on the brakes to tell people's backstory, like so many other shows. Having the individuals discover their powers as the story unfolds keeps it interesting.

The language is almost entirely black London patois, so I'm glad I've got subtitles switched on, but I don't find this at all distracting - in fact it adds to the seeming authenticity of it.

The cinematography is concise, effective, and unobtrusive, and it avoids the shaky-cam faux-journalistic style that makes so many shows unintelligible.

The way that the main characters work together is very deftly handled and the clash of cultures and motivations is always plausible and never jarring.

The fact that it's English, and not a bunch of Californians mugging for the camera is really a fresh take. I can't stop bingeing it.
