Netflix’s Supacell is an unconventional superhero series focusing on a group of young black people in London who discover latent powers yet while much of the story is fantastical, a key plot element, sickle cell disease, is very much grounded in reality. Created by Rapman, the show has been acclaimed for its thrilling story and powerful social commentary. Part of its effectiveness comes from the way it blends fiction with fact, and the inclusion of sickle cell disease is an important part of the process.
