4/5
The genre itself isn’t fresh, even if the execution feels like it is. What is solid here, however, is the stunning cinematography (Sam Heasman and Aaron Reid) and richly textured direction from Rapman, aka Andrew Onwubolu. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety 07/03/2024
Supacell has the familiar and sometimes predictable themes found in these types of projects... Still, Rapman’s exploration of what it means for Black people specifically to gain powers makes the show unique. Go to Full Review Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard 07/03/2024
4/5
Does it work? Yes. The whole thing hangs together, thanks to the engaging cast (almost all of them are fresh faces), and the well-executed action sequences. Go to Full Review Frantz Jerome Black Nerd Problems 08/26/2024
A well-worn story with a fresh lens and heaps of authenticity. Go to Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast 08/20/2024
4/5
Rapman injects new blood into the Sci-fi genre with South London flavour. While the messaging didn't always overlap with impact, there is an endearing charm to Supacell that brings the realness. Go to Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast 08/20/2024

Ivan @Paininni 1d Peppa pig tiene mejor guion que esta basura de serie La idea tiene un potencial muy fuerte, y cada punto de inflexión da muchas maneras de lograr buen desarrollo pero siempre se van a lo cotidiano que es hacer personajes incapaces de usar el cerebro y que toman decisiones que siempre se ven en este tipo de series o películas Seria perfecto si ganan los malos la verdad, porque con eso de que los protagonistas no ocupan la cabeza, es algo lógico que pierdan en la próxima temporada; que, spoiler, no veré El guion es horrible, no esta al nivel de actuación de los actores Buenos efectos especiales, buen sonido La musica no siempre se alinea bien con los momentos Es exagerado el uso de luces Tiene algunos juegos de cámara buenos, pero nada que no se haya usado ya con anterioridad See more Laney S @Laney97 Jan 4 Honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever tried to watch. Awful acting and plot. Had to turn off after an episode, no idea how the ratings are so good. See more Alexa B Aug 31 100%!? Only if you don't understand anything about cinema or are biased. See more Tricia K Aug 20 It's impossible for this to have a 100% rating. It's bad, really bad. I watched because of the rating, I was scammed. Don't waste your time. See more Raymon H Aug 20 The best all black Sci-Fi / Super Hero show since Black Lightning, and hard to remember others. The cast is fantastic. I'm glad the British did it first, and NetFlix was a GO. America just doesn't know how to let cultures represent themselves without catching feelings. But anyway, I hope they make an EastCell with Asian culture, an OB-Cell for Australian outback, and an Antarctic-Cell where they all meet. Or just make 8 Seasons of this. See more Gareth v @geewah Jul 29 This is an emotionally grounded superhero story with a strong social commentary and character depth . While not flawless, its ambition and freshness make it thoroughly binge‑worthy. See more Read all reviews
