The latest project from prominent writer and activist Boots Riley, I'm A Virgo is an absurd, heartfelt dramedy about a 13-foot teenager (a sincere Jharrel Jerome) who's thrust into the world of political activism.

Wickedly funny as it may be, I'm A Virgo sneaks up on you with its message, shifting between relatable coming-of-age comedy to confrontational, timely assessment of racism, systemic injustice and identity in modern America without flaw. Riley aims to entertain and educate, and there's never a chance missed.

Despite only being a seven-episode miniseries, with each episode barely clocking in at thirty minutes in length, I'm A Virgo balances all its moving parts - its hilarious portrayal of teen romance, its electrifying progressivism, its lovely performances - like a well-oiled machine.

A touching ode to friendship and standing up for what's right, and a reminder that empathy makes the world a better place, I'm A Virgo is not one to miss.
