I'm a Virgo (2023)
7/10
Quirky and original
8 March 2024
As a big fan of shows that have supernatural elements and tell a. New story, I gave I'm a Virgo a chance. Plus I am a Virgo so I wanted to see how they built that in there. There are some sweet coming of age of a naive teenager parts that addresses friendships, relationships, and society. What turned me off were some of the "all or nothing" political views that heavily demonize the "us vs them" and serve to further the racial divide that currently exists in the US. "Capitalism is to blame for the woes of poor people" is a gross oversimplification of a complex issue. You would think communist Russia at the time of the Cold War should be the perfect society! Hey, no capitalism so life should have been perfect for everyone, right? Hospitals in the US also don't turn people away at the ER. The series basis its plot on extremely flawed ideas which can be dangerous. That said, there are some valid points that do make you think about things. Also, if the US was not a capitalist society, we'd all be speaking German right now. Just something to think about.
