At one point a character says, plainly: “All art is propaganda.” But not all art is as fresh and eccentrically realized as this series. I hope Riley gets a second season out of it. Read full review

I’m a Virgo is not just one of the best comedies of the year so far, but one of the most urgent, intense pieces of television in recent years. Read full review

Riley’s method for making his anti-capitalist screeds cinematic is inventive and engaging. Like Rabelais, who also told a story about a giant, Riley’s slightly off-kilter world is just familiar enough while pointing out some of the everyday absurdities we all have come to accept. Read full review

I’m a Virgo is ultimately a mishmash of hilarious gags and radical messages that don’t really coalesce into one outstanding statement, but they work as compelling, sharp comedy anyway. Read full review

I’m A Virgo is about much more than the fact that Cootie is 13-feet tall; it’s a layered story about isolation, coming of age and institutional racism, but all presented with a little bit of a fairy-tale sheen to it. Read full review

Whatever the series has to say about income inequality, inner-city food deserts and for-profit hospitals and public utilities is laced through a sweet coming-of-age story. Read full review

No one can accuse Riley of failing to swing for the fences. For all its missteps, I’m a Virgo is a striking visual experiment, with a sweet central performance from Jerome. Perhaps a season or two can more satisfactorily explore the many issues on the mind of its creator. Read full review

FRESH. It's super dark and self aware but also silly. Like a high IQ gallows humor vibe. This **** is truly unique, not some derivative garbage.

Surreal, funny, human and meaningful. Love all the practical effects. Couldn't really tell what was happening during the love scene. Was she rubbing herself on his arm?

The politics of the show are always hit-you-over-the-head obvious. But it wasn't obvious what was happening in that love scene. I hope they reshoot it with better angles when they read my review. I couldn't tell what was going on. Contains messages of socialism which are vital and urgent.… Expand

Great, original, powerful, and representative of today's culture. Some excellent asides explaining the very crappy side of capitalism. I do feel like the fairly explicit sex scenes were forced and went on way too long; Bridgerton seems to have hit the algorithms very hard... "hey look greatGreat, original, powerful, and representative of today's culture. Some excellent asides explaining the very crappy side of capitalism. I do feel like the fairly explicit sex scenes were forced and went on way too long; Bridgerton seems to have hit the algorithms very hard... "hey look great plot, story, characters, but where's your explicit sex scenes? Thats what the people want ya know! I tell ya what, you throw in a couple long sex scenes with plenty of discussion about how big this kid is and it's a green light for you baby!".

However... its really worth watching and I can't wait to see another season. I can fast forward through the sex.… Expand

Not for me. I was bored for most of time. Still I can’t find a specific reason if this… each element of series is good but together …

I hope they brought a really big dumpster for this garbage show that explores the burning question on everyone’s mind “what if a black guy was tall”. Please devote as much of your future existence and funding to developing time travel so I can get the hours I wasted on this terrible show back.
