About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, street-level superpower story with crime, family pressure, and a team-up vibe, similar to Luke Cage or Jupiter's Legacy; Not for you if you hate slow builds, heavy drama, or violent gang elements.

Pros: fresh South London spin; strong performances; engaging character threads | Cons: uneven writing; slow pacing at times; logic gaps
