Netflix’s latest series, “Supacell,” has already become the talk of the town – and we can really see why.
 When it comes to movies about superpowers, we’ve seen pretty much everything there is to see until now.
Enter “Supacell,” Netflix’s newest show that’s turning heads and capturing hearts.
Created by Andrew Onwubolu MBE, better known as Rapman, a British rapper and record producer, “Supacell” follows a group of seemingly ordinary people from South London who unexpectedly develop superpowers.
Described as “action-packed,” the show has already landed a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
As more viewers tune in, the reviews only get better and better.
It’s so compelling that people are binging the entire first season in one night.
 “I put one episode of ‘Supacell’ on Netflix and these times, I won’t sleep until the whole season is done. If you don’t know, get to know. Unbelievable series,” wrote one user on X.
Another fan exclaimed, “Supacell is the best thing on Netflix right now! ‘Top Boy’ kicked the door open and ‘Supacell’ has taken it to another level. Big up @RealRapman and all the cast and crew who executed this quality project. Excited for season 2.”
 A third user wrote, “Supacell on Netflix is a certified hit. One of those shows where everything is connected in some way and you’ll never guess what’s happening next.”
Yet another fan tweeted, “Just started #Supacell on @Netflix, black folks with superpowers SAY LESS.”
And this person had another reason why everyone should be tuning in: “#Supacell on Netflix is mad good. I hope they come out with a second season. The black men on there were fine,” they commented.
 Hey, it’s a win-win.
**The Backstory** Â
The mastermind behind “Supacell,” Rapman, has been a prominent figure in the UK music scene.
 Born Andrew Onwubolu in South London, Rapman gained recognition through his storytelling in music videos and short films.
 His breakthrough came with “Shiro’s Story,” a three-part YouTube series that mixed gritty realism with cinematic flair.
“Shiro’s Story” went viral, earning millions of views and acclaim for its compelling narrative and innovative approach.
Rapman’s success caught the attention of major studios, leading to his feature film debut, “Blue Story,” in 2019.
 “Blue Story” further cemented his reputation as a talented filmmaker with a unique voice.
With “Supacell,” Rapman brings his storytelling prowess to the world of superheroes.
The series reflects his deep connection to his South London roots, blending everyday struggles with extraordinary abilities.
Rapman’s vision for “Supacell” was to create a show that resonated with audiences on multiple levels.
By focusing on characters from diverse backgrounds, he aimed to offer a fresh perspective on the superhero genre.
The show delves into themes of identity, power, and community, making it more than just an action-packed series.
Rapman’s ability to weave social commentary into his narratives is evident in “Supacell.”
The show tackles issues such as human trafficking, extreme surveillance, and global anti-Blackness.
 It also highlights the often underrepresented theme of Black love, showcasing it in a positive and authentic light.
Leila Latif of The Guardian gave the series a high four-star rating, praising the cast for carrying the narrative.
 “Given how compelling and charming this cast is, there will be plenty more battles in the future,” Latif wrote.
“They didn’t choose their powers – or to save the day – but when a show is this much fun it’s extremely good news that their powers chose them.”
Variety’s Aramide Tinubu also agreed, calling “Supacell” “bold” and “daring.”
“Though the excitement of supernatural abilities and the magic of science fiction ripple across the show, the series also explores major themes that disproportionately affect Black people,” Tinubu stated.
These themes include human trafficking, extreme surveillance, pervasive global anti-Blackness, and predatory medical practices.
Tinubu also commended the show for its portrayal of Black love, often misrepresented on screen.
The series is being hailed as a fresh and necessary addition to the superhero genre.
Viewers appreciate its ability to combine thrilling action with meaningful social commentary.
 Rapman’s direction and the stellar performances by the cast have set “Supacell” apart.
With its perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, “Supacell” is on track to become a cultural phenomenon.
The demand for a second season is already high, with fans eagerly awaiting more.
The buzz surrounding the show continues to grow, making it a must-watch for anyone with a Netflix subscription.
Rapman’s success with “Supacell” marks another milestone in his illustrious career.
His unique voice and perspective have brought something truly special to the screen.
As “Supacell” continues to dominate conversations online and in media, it’s clear that Rapman has once again struck gold.
