The first episode of creator Rapman's Netflix superhero series establishes the show's themes and visual identity
Rapman ’s new Netflix series Supacell envisions a reality in which multiple Londoners develop sudden superpowers, and all of them have a commonality: they’re Black. We meet the characters separately, but the short scenes reveal a great deal about the nature of each character, and by the end of the episode, we see them cross paths, at least casually. Supacell is an exploration of survival and synchronicity.
As a white viewer, I noticed the perspective shift: the sense of alarm I felt for the Black characters every time a white character walked by. When white characters observe Black characters, take notice of them, or recognize them as people in any way, there’s a possibility of bad intent or suspicion. I appreciate the clear view of distrust coupled with the obvious reasons it’s necessary.
