Just watched this!! Awesome work✨

[@CoreyMcKinneyJr_CMJR]

Just when Virgos thought they caught a Break lol 🤦🏽‍♂️ also im sure we can all agree that LEOs would be the “most hyped off their sign” but maybe im just being too analytical 🙃

[@bighomey1090]

[@max_ammo_]

[@LVU385]

[@emeraldkaysgarden]

[@ItsTifahTifah]

[@khadijahkaffo3986]

Amazing show!!!! Something never seen before

[@thechristiansocialite]

I can't wait.

[@rebeccachamberlain6318]

It was brilliant writing, storytelling, and directing,. It is delightful, insightful, innovative, surprising, and one of the most thoughtful comedies around. Like Gulliver's Travels, by Johnathan Swift, it plays with satire, fantasy, and parody. The political, social, literary, and historical parallels are uncanny. Loved it. Where is season 2, and then 3,4, and 5 . . .I give it 5 stars. It deserves first-rate reviews.

[@riley1586]

10/10 incredible

[@lifewithcecep1582]

its y’all hating for me .

[@kylelococo7620]

It's no one knowing who tf Boots is for me

[@TRANZEURO]

Is Boots a Doctor Who fan ? He's dressed like the second Doctor. LOL !

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Is this dude seriously wearing that hat? 😂😂😂

[@beach_boy1141]

What hat?

[@ZionMarleyPR]

It’s called fashion, learn about it. 😂

[@ItsTifahTifah]

Don’t say no weird shii like wouldn’t wanna be a Virgo lmfao

[@BlameItOnMercury]

I wouldn't wanna be one either. 😂 Y'all suck a**.

[@idc_cope]

Mad weird 😂 giving hater vibes

[@idc_cope]

Literally nothing wrong with virgos.

[@Fairycoughs]

So he’s not 13ft fr😮

[@tellyboo2455]

Excuse me 😂

[@javierkiman8302]

Ow great, either an inexistent Greek African myth or a stereotype.

[@kylelococo7620]

Or neither?

[@nongroupthought5076]

Why can't he just be 13 ft man who happens to be a brown complexioned being. Why emphasise the colour label.

[@FunkFight1]

Why should he happen to be a brown complexioned being? Why not just have him be White? Wouldn't that be exactly the same? OR- is it that you understand that the experience of being Black and the perception of him being Black makes his story different from him being White

[@emeraldkaysgarden]

Because this is His vision
Make your own movie.

[@tajcee]

Why are you whining?
