A teen giant explores Oakland in "I'm a Virgo," a surreal, satirical TV series on Amazon Prime from Boots Riley ("Sorry to Bother You"). Jharrel Jerome and Walton Goggins star.

Streaming guide: From Idris Elba in a nail-biting thriller to Gabrielle Union in a swoon-worthy rom com, here's what to watch this week.

Starring Jharrel Jerome, the upcoming Prime Video series centers around a 13-foot-tall Black boy in Oakland. Sounds trippy, right? You have no idea.

Starring Jharrel Jerome as a 13-foot-tall teenager, Boots Riley's "I'm a Virgo" is a visually imaginative parable with a moving message.

A solid candidate for weirdest series of the year, “I’m a Virgo” represents an outlandish concept from writer-director Boots Riley (“Sorry to Bother You”), contemplating how the world would respond to a 13-foot-tall young Black man. As metaphorically intriguing as that sounds – and indeed, is at the start – the first season ultimately feels a bit too scattered and chaotic to match the stature of its premise.

The star Jharrel Jerome and senior members of the creative team discuss how they created the distinctive look of this ambitious new Amazon series.
