When I first watched the trailer forSupacellsome weeks ago, I couldn’t help but compare it in my mind toAmazon’sThe Boys. Except this isn’t an Amazon series, instead it’s one of Netflix’s originals – and it has shot straight to the new no.1 position on the UK series chart, following its launch on 27 June.

Watch the show, however, and while those initialThe Boyscomparisons have some validity – albeit withSupacellbeing more akin to ‘the British version’ – the show takes a different, less off-kilter dark comedy approach. ThinkTop Boymeets Marvel and you’re halfway there – as you can see for yourself in the below trailer:

Supacellhas thus far received the equivalent of a standing ovation, too, with aRotten Tomatoes score landing the full ultra-rare 100% markfrom critics, with viewers not quite as impressed – but serving it up a 78% rating at the time of writing (and I suspect that’ll fluctuate aplenty).

Such success already has the show’s director, Rapman – real name Andrew Onwubolu – talking about multiple seasons (as raised in aUnilad interview) continuing the show’s story. Fans want more as, unlike many other Netflix shows, the limited series only spans six episodes for the first season – all of which you can binge-watch right now.
