Netflix’s ‘Supacell’ Is a Bold and Daring Drama About Black Superheroes: TV Review
Rapman's Netflix series "Supacell" highlights South London, while putting a spotlight on the unique experiences of Black superheroes.
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, including human trafficking, extreme surveillance, pervasive global anti-Blackness and predatory medical practices. Viewers find themselves on the modern streets of South London, where we meet Michael (a stellar Tosin Cole), a package delivery courier anxious about proposing to his long-term girlfriend, Dionne (Adelayo Adedayo). Moreover, some small story beats lean toward the absurd, like Dionne and Michael’s luxury car and condo in London on a delivery driver and social worker salaries.
