Nerdy Romantics Podcast

Why Supacell was the Black superhero show we needed

Y. M. Nelson Season 5 Episode 54

Y. M. Nelson, host, and guests Stacie and Marcie review the newest superhero/sci-fi hit show on Netflix: Supacell. Supacell is a superhero show set in South London, England that imagines what if the sickle cell gene mutated and instead held superpower instead of sickness? We talk about why we were drawn to the show and other topics such as:

  • How we found the show
  • Having a mostly Black cast on a superhero show
  • Comparing this to other superhero shows and movies that are more mainstream
  • The main characters and their various stories as they discover their superpowers
