Supacell

Ive watched 3 episodes and i have to say the mix on London life and the sci fi element is so unique and so worth watching . No one should see the glory of gangs but the gritty, realistic life of those in a city where it seems gangs are the way to better yourself in a world where being part of something is better than nothing. I abhor gang violence and am 59 yrs old woman . But i cant understand how hard life can be for teens nowadays . The story and character development does not deserve such a low rating . I look forward to season 2 . We have heros and antiheros in all walks of life. That is life.

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!

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.

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.
