SuperBob

SuperBob (2015) is a low-key British comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jon Drever. Brett Goldstein plays Bob Kenner, a former postman accidentally struck by a meteorite who became Earth's only superhero. He now works for the government on a civil servant's schedule.

Six years without a date is a long time, even if you've stopped an international incident or two. Bob finally lines one up — and the day unravels in exactly the way you'd expect from a man whose job description includes "save the planet if required." Catherine Tate and Natalia Tena fill out a small, well-chosen cast. What makes this work is the genuine loneliness underneath the absurdism: being the world's only superhero turns out to be an excellent way to have nobody to eat dinner with.
