I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
I am always on board for a new surprise hit on Netflix , as some of the highest profile projects often don’t pan out how you wish they would. So my attention has definitely been grabbed by Supacell , a new UK series that has arrived with a 100% on“In South London, a group of normal people suddenly develop superpowers, and the only apparent connection between them is that they are all Black; as they deal with the impact of their powers on their daily lives, one man must bring them together.
Supacell didn’t debut all that high on the list, I think it was #5, but now it’s already #2, and it may soon be #1 if the current True Crime doc on top slips down. And if word of mouth spreads we may indeed see that surge. Honestly, we are heading into a pretty barren July on Netflix, so the opportunity for a surprise show to shine is there.Like many UK shows, it’s only six episodes so there isn’t a ton you’ll need to get through.
The last time I can remember reporting on a show arriving with a 100% on Netflix was Baby Reindeer, which turned into the services biggest breakout of the year. Though as more and more reviews come in, that 100% is almost impossible to maintain and only a few shows have done so in Netflix history. Though Baby Reindeer still has a 98% with 63 reviews in to this day.
It is certainly hard to innovate in the superhero space these days, as we have Marvel, DC and the “graphic” new-era super-shows like Invincible and The Boys. So I’m certainly wondering what Supacell is doing differently here.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
