Nowadays, it’s really hard to do something truly fresh and exciting with the superhero genre, especially with completely new characters not based on known IP. However, even if Supacell never feels completely original, being reminiscent of Heroes, Attack the Block, The Umbrella Academy, and (British) Boyz n the Hood, it adds enough interesting wrinkles to the overplayed genre to stand on its own. I do wish the pacing had been a bit better because it’s a tad slow to get going, but now that the strong character work and world-building are out of the way, I’m fairly stoked to see where Season Two goes.
