From showrunner and British rapper Andrew Onwubolu (Rapman), the show has been lauded by fans. Sharing their thoughts on X, one person wrote: 'I need ALL of you to get into Supacell. The way this show managed to be entertaining thanks to the fantasy/sci-fi side of it but also so informative and eye-opening was really a beautiful surprise. Sickle cell is not spoken about enough! I need a season 2 EXPEDITIOUSLY.'

Others added: 'Make sure you give Supacell the double thumbs up after you binge watch. That¿s how we¿ll get a second season'; 'I need that supacell season 2 with speed and efficiency.' 'Supacell is a sci-fi, thriller, romance and drama all in one with themes of sickle cell awareness, abduction awareness of minorities and so much more. A very smart and well thought out show. Deserves a lot more seasons and I think it will get them.'

This edgy, six-part British take on the superhero story unfolds in south London, where we're introduced to a number of people struggling to make ends meet - including one played by Tosin Cole - who have powers they didn't know existed.

Other dots to join in the opening episode include a number of missing persons reports, a sinister centre that seems to be holding people prisoner and an overly helpful woman in a hospital. Similar to Misfits on Channel 4, Supacell is less of a comedy and more of a deep dig into the lives of its characters, making the most of its south London setting in the process.

For anyone who lives in south London, it will be clear how much of the show was actually filmed where it says it is, which adds to the feeling of authenticity. As the story unfolds viewers see that the show isn't just good at being credible and telling good stories about everyday people's lives.

It also has a pretty hefty superhero tale in its back pocket, one that's executed with all the heady cinematic panache of Marvel.
