Soy virgo

Brilliant concept, provocative writing and laser focused direction from Boots Riley. He manages to paint another colorful dystopia that once again highlights the evils of capitalism by flipping concepts on their head and putting a mirror up to show you the world we live in. I love that someone is touching on the concept of giants in American history I feel like there is a lot of new clippings like that you can still find through the years of giant remains being found across the world. Who knows but it's an interesting concept and dope that Boots touched on that. Mike Epps and the whole cast is great as well. Looking forward to anything Boots Riley does which hopefully includes a new The Coup album.

Nice concepts, and a strong cast. Excellent production design and special effects. I like the cartoon quality of several characters and the idea that it might touch upon some facets of superhero stuff, but not dive all the way in. I've watched only two episodes, yet I can tell that I would have preferred this story delivered as a movie. Like "Stranger Things" and various SciFi series and movies coming out over the last decade, it's become really trendy to produce a far-fetched fantasy story, with quirky lead characters who struggle (or sometimes thrive) in odd circumstances. The two actors cast as his parents are committed, but their attitudes are one-dimensional... this is a writing problem, and not the actors' fault. The jury's out whether I will finish this season.

Really good. That's all I can say. The best art to me is the kind I can't effectively describe. It is itself. That's the highest compliment I can give. This show never did what I expected but felt 100% appropriate to itself the whole time. It was engaging and bizarre and sweet and packed a punch and I love seeing stuff like this get made. It's worth the watch and I don't even mind if there's another season or how the second one goes, this one stands on its own and will still be enjoyable for me no matter what else happens to it in the future. Definitely recommend checking it out now and not worrying too much it's just a good ride.

Having immensely enjoyed Sorry to Bother You, I was very excited to see what Boots Riley did with this and was not disappointed!

Excellent commentary on capitalism, with plenty of surrealism throughout.

I only wish that the pacing was a bit more balanced; I think this could have easily been a standalone mini series but it seems that some things/characters that could have been explored with more depth were intentionally left out in favor of some too-long scenes involving sex/romance and action.

My favorite bits were the various superpowers and the scenes critiquing capitalism with some fantastic visuals. I also really love the cartoon that was shown throughout, and the dystopian elements.

I hope that if there is a season 2 that it can focus more on exploring the main characters in depth, more over the top hilarious commentary on commercialism, as well as more powerful and concise messages on capitalism.

I hope that we can see more and more popular movies and tvs explicitly calling out capitalism and the toxicity of society in the hopes of inspiring people to fight back and create a better world.

I would vote this 8 stars, but am putting 9 stars to boost the overall rating because it is at a 6 right now and I don't want people to be deterred by that unfairly low score.

What a weird series. I mean that in the best way possible. Having loved sorry to bother you, i had a feeling there would be some political/social critiques, but by the last episode it dives fully into those. It's not subtle, but that's the point. It's meant to open the audiences eyes.

The performances are top notch from everyone, especially jharrel jerome though. He captures the anxieties that a 13ft tall man who has been hidden from the world would feel, and it feels so awkwardly realistic. I love how boots riley dives fully into the weirdness of the show as well. He clearly had his vision, and it looks like he didn't let anyone stand in his way.

I really hope there's a season 2 because they leave us on a subtle cliffhanger, but a pretty big one at that. I thoroughly enjoyed this and it's originality. Give boots riley more money to make his ideas come to the screen!!
