I'm a Virgo: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

If you're a Sorry To Bother You fan, this tale of a 13-foot-tall Black teen is the show you’ve been waiting for. Boots Riley's absurdist comedy critiques racial politics, capitalism and “heroes” with some wonderfully surreal touches.

"This weird and wonderful story of a 13ft teen is vigorous, clever and fun. It’s as fresh and invigorating as a cold shower."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"I’m a Virgo is a laugh riot, a pulsing social document, and an empathetic character study."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"It’s not subtle, which can be part of its charm, while still feeling redundant at times."

IndieWireIndieWire

"Riotous and urgent, I’m a Virgo is hardly the most subtle show of the year. It is, by its own definition, propaganda. But it is absolutely art."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Riley blends absurdist humour, dazzling visual metaphors, animation, and a blistering critique of capitalism to create a coming-of-age story that is unassailably original."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"The end result is a series as impossible to look away from as its protagonist."

TV GuideTV Guide

"I'm a Virgo uses Cootie’s plight as an allegory for a host of systemic issues, and that elevates it into something special."

IGNIGN

"There’s so much going on in I’m a Virgo that sometimes the series loses itself as it winds its way through so many tangents..."

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

"I’m a Virgo presents a hopeful vision of humanity that’s far removed from the cynicism of Sorry To Bother You."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"Virgo is precisely what viewers complain they can’t find on television -- something novel, something offbeat, something surprising."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"For all its missteps, I’m a Virgo is a striking visual experiment, with a sweet central performance from Jerome."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"I enjoyed (the show) more in its low-key coming-of-age mode than when it’s supposed to be exciting or propulsive."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Some of the visual and stylistic flourishes of I’m a Virgo can feel like embroidery on a story that wants to be more plainly and briefly told."

VarietyVariety

"A visually ambitious anti-capitalist fairy story, I’m a Virgo is chaotic, funny, and smart as hell."

FilmInkFilmInk

"Big on ambition yet precisely focused, it is one of those works that promises to get people talking..."

ColliderCollider

"Riley's unique visual style and the dynamic performances from its eclectic cast make it unlike anything you'll watch this year."

Slash FilmSlash Film

"Given how bracingly original the show feels at the outset, it just doesn’t quite work as hugely as it could."

CNNCNN

"Even when (some) gags don’t quite land, the whole thing is so eccentric, and so distinct, that it’s impossible to not give I’m A Virgo your full and rapt attention."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"The only thing the show doesn’t make space for amid its elaborate mise en scène and dense political theory is subtlety."
