Netflix’s latest series has quickly become a sensation, and it’s easy to understand why.

In the realm of superpower-themed content, it’s hard to find something fresh, but Netflix’s new show Supacell manages to break the mold. Created by Andrew Onwubolu MBE, also known as Rapman, a British rapper and record producer, Supacell tells the story of a group of seemingly ordinary individuals from South London who suddenly develop extraordinary abilities.

Described as “action-packed,” the show has already garnered a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. As more viewers tune in, the rave reviews keep pouring in. The series is reportedly so captivating that many people binge-watched the entire first season in one sitting.

“…I put one episode of Supercell 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 added: “Supercell is the best thing on Netflix right now! Top Boy kicked the door open and #supercell 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 shared: “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.”

Another user wrote: “Just started #Supercell on @Netflix, black folks with superpowers SAY LESS.” And this person highlighted another reason to watch: “#Supercell on Netflix is mad good. I hope they come out with a second season. the black men on there were fine.”

It’s clear the show is resonating with viewers. But what do the critics think? Short answer: They agree.

Leila Latif of the Guardian awarded 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. 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,” Latif wrote.

Variety’s Aramide Tinubu also gave a positive review, 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, including human trafficking, extreme surveillance, pervasive global anti-Blackness, and predatory medical practices,” Tinubu stated. She also credited the show for its portrayal of “Black love,” which is often misrepresented on screen.

Supacell is now available to watch on Netflix.
