This social anxiety is most uncomfortable when he's flirting with a woman who works at a fast food restaurant, Flora (a perfect Olivia Washington). Jerome ( Moonlight) plays this with a clumsy sweetness, illustrating the teenager's shallow knowledge of the actual world, previously informed by books, parents, and media. However, he's extremely awkward and nervous. He has snuck out and found a friend group without his folks' knowledge, and he's in love with the world. "I'm 19 and I just heard bass for the first time?

In I'm a Virgo, a giant is hidden from the world, but the teenage boy is growing restless he wants to break free from his sequestered environment, but his family fears that the world will reject or exploit him for what he looks like.


Systemic racism, income inequality, class consciousness, and the nature of storytelling itself are all tackled in the series, layered beneath a fantastical allegory. One of I'm a Virgo's main critiques is the ideology inherent in popular superhero content, but the show is too messy to just have one target.
