A Netflix show is being raved about by fans, with some binging the entire season in just one night. 

People are taking to social media and enthusing about a new TV series that landed in the streaming platform’s top ten following its debut.

One fan pens: “I will never stop talking about this masterpiece.”

Another adds: “Go watch this show. Best thing I’ve seen on Netflix in a long time.”

“It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through,” someone else says.

A fourth person writes: “My only complaint is I didn’t watch it sooner!”

“I watched them all yesterday!” shares a fifth fan.

Picked up for a second season by Netflix, the show is also being lauded by critics.

Alex Godfrey of Empire writes: “An impressively unpredictable show pulsating with vitality and urgency.”

Decider‘s Pat Stacey adds: “It’s one that keeps a foot planted firmly in a recognizably real world. Excellent.”

While The Guardian‘s Leila Latif says it’s a ‘sprawling sci-fi drama strikingly performed, bracingly plotted and its characters are up there with prestige TV’s finest.’

The show also has a hugely impressive score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes – a feat not easily accomplished.

Compared to hit shows such as NBC’s Heroes and classics like Channel 4’s Misfits, the series follows a group of normal people in modern-day South London who suddenly develop superpowers.

It’s made up of an ensemble cast including Tosin Cole, Adelayo Adedayo, Josh Tedeku, Nadine Mills, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Calvin Demba, Ghetts, Digga D, and Eddie Marsan.

Created by British rapper, record producer, and screenwriter Andrew Onwubolu MBE, best known by his stage name Rapman, the series aims to answer ‘what a normal person would do if they had powers.’

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Rapman said he’s keen to ‘open doors for more high caliber, Black stories.’

He told the publication: “I want to see Black zombie movies, Black fantasy stories like Game of Thrones, Black wizards and magicians like Harry Potter. This way, Black actors and creatives have more work and it opens more doors.”

Following Supacell‘s huge success, Netflix has confirmed that a second season is coming soon.

In an interview with Netflix’s Tudum, Rapman says: “Supacell season 1 is my Batman Begins. It’s a prequel of what they’ll be like. Season 2 is when you really see what they become. That future you saw at the end of the pilot in London, that exact future doesn’t exist anymore. They’ve changed everything.

“It’s going to be interesting when we get into the writers’ room.”

He adds: “I’ve always had it [mapped out] to season 3. I know how season 2 ends.”
