- Trivia"I've been watching superhero stuff since I was a kid and it's always set in New York, it's always a big drama in New York, and I love New York but London is a crazy city as well," Rapman told BOSSIP. "It's like why are we not portraying that more? So for me I want people from the States, I want people in Africa, I want people in other parts of Europe, to really be like, 'Oh that's what it's like in London! That's the Black experience in London.' That's what London is really like, because how you see the parties, the music they listen to [in Supacell], that is literally South London. The only thing that you see made-up there is the powers, but everything else is the British experience as a Black person in the United Kingdom. So I'm hoping that it's like an education for people that don't know what it's like. I'm really excited.
- GoofsIn the final battle scene Michael begs Dionne to get in the car and drive to hospital. But he had already shown that in battle he could grab people in an instant and take them anywhere and be straight back. Considering the whole season was about saving Dionne's life it was odd he didn't just teleport her to safety then head straight back.
Featured review
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.
