Supacell 2024 / A multifaceted drama and gang warfare story that can get rocky with superhero elements

Our cold open sees a classic patient on the loose scene, then quickly followed by the multifaceted drama and gang warfare that sits at the heart of the story — a multi-pronged attack that doesn’t always merge so smoothly. High tension happens within the sci-fi elements that the viewer is always learning to process, which can be an efficient way to pick up on many aspects of the story, but it can also feel like a juggling act. There’s a little bit of everything here mood-wise: a little romance, family drama, superpowers, and unintentional comedy. When it all gels, it’s pretty straightforward, but never truly feels like a silky smooth ride.
