Super Crooks

Johnny Bolt brings together a crew of misfit villains for one last score, a plan to rob a ruthless power broker who commands a city built on superpowered crime. The plan hinges on slick disguises, clever tech, and old school street smarts, all told with fast cut action and neon drenched visuals. As the group rehearses the job, their past ties and hidden motives threaten to derail the caper at every turn. The tone blends crime caper energy with speculative sci fi and sharp character moments, offering a stylish countdown to the heist as the danger and adrenaline keep ratcheting up. With clever humor and tense moments, the show leans into the criminal underworld while hinting at personal stakes.

Released in 2021 on Netflix as an animated series, Super Crooks adapts Mark Millar's graphic novel universe. The show is spearheaded by creators Dai Sato, Leinil Francis Yu and Mark Millar, delivering a polished crime story with superpowered flair. Produced by a team of veteran writers and artists, the series blends anime sensibilities with western crime storytelling.

Part of Netflix's push to adapt Millarworld properties into animated series, Super Crooks brings a distinctly Japanese voice cast to a Western crime fantasy. Its glossy style and heist premise contributed to the growing cross cultural appeal of animated superhero stories. Its voice cast in Japanese and English adds dimension for fans of both anime and international crime dramas.

Audience reaction sits around a 7 out of 10 from a modest pool of voters, signaling solid but not spectacular uptake. The show probes loyalty and teamwork among unlikely allies while weighing the cost of crime against personal codes and ambition. It mixes snappy dialogue with kinetic action, letting quiet character moments land between the bigger set pieces.

Awards: There are no widely publicized nominations or wins for this series to date. It is part of Netflix's growing slate of animated adaptations of popular graphic novels, but it has not broken into major awards coverage.
