Dutch & Tena review the Netflix series 'Supercell,' created and directed by British rapper Rapman. This series follows the lives of five black individuals from South London who discover they have superpowers due to a mutation in the sickle cell gene. The show cleverly ties in real-world issues such as the medical industry's historical mistreatment of black people and the systemic racism that persists in various forms.

Each character in 'Supercell' represents different struggles faced by the black community, from dealing with incarceration and financial instability to navigating complex family dynamics and gang violence. The series also highlights the role of a shadow government that monitors and exploits these individuals for their powers, drawing parallels to real-life surveillance and control over marginalized communities.

🗣️ Quotes from Dutch

"So, like, for buddy to just make a show where he spends, like, oh, the sickle cell backfired and actually gave people powers. Okay."

"The ratchetemic is being introduced to a school district over in Orange County, New York. And they're talking about it in parent teacher conferences."



🗣️ Quotes from Tena

"They always prove that we were chosen, like, in just so many different ways."

"I think it's just kind of weird to even have to write a book to explain our culture and our customs to these people who are never gonna understand us."
