Jane the Virgin

Loved the first season then your tied to characters and series has a good ending so worth watching through. Didn't like a few series storylines but overall eally liked it and found it very funny.

Coming from a country that airs cheap telenovela, it's refreshing to watch an improved everything of what a telenovela should be.

Jane the Virgin is one of the shows that do not care what the current audience wants to see / is interested to see. The plot is in itself far away from what a typical viewer is interested to watch. The plot is outrageous and in the nature of telenovelas. The creators made the show at high stakes but they also reaped greater rewards.

The cast is perfect. Each cast can carry a scene a telenovela would but with a very "American TV-show" feel. The fact the they are all talented, beautiful, and god-help-me-I'm-dying-of-laughter funny can't hurt.

What I hate about telenovelas (Aside from seeing them 5 times a week, yes, 5 times a week ) is the repetitiveness and pacing. That's not a problem with this show. I like how the show foreshadow scenes and repeat scenes with very minor but very impactful changes. The "American TV-show" pace is perfect too.

I just can say that if you like watching TV shows but is kind of bored of the mainstream vampires, sci-fi, superheroes, crime, teen girl, drama, kind. You might just be blown away with this gem of a show. This show need more hype.

This is one of the best shows on CW and it was everything and more! The finale gave me inspiration to write my review. It was a rollercoaster of tears. One minute you are crying and the next you're laughing your butt out and still can't help it because you're still crying. It screws with your emotions but like in a really cool way. Everyone had their happy ending and yes, we all knew it was a "telenovela" but who cares. I'm an emotional wreck right now, writing this review. And I'm so privileged and grateful to have spent the last five years with the Villanueva women...

I came in with trepidation. The whole premise is preposterous. How wrong could I have been? Turns out very.

"Jane the Virgin" (still not thrilled with the title) is beyond charming. The lead actress is adorable and so believable -- even in this jaded age. The switching between English and Spanish dialog (please don't change this; Americans don't like sub-titles but the gimmick works) -- muy excelente! The very witty writing about cultural mores, traditional and contemporary, is something very missing in today's entertainment. I caught a repeat episode of "Mike and Molly" the other night (I've only seen the first episode and did not laugh once) and was reminded of the raw, crude language that completely turned me off; that is not comedy. Yet, it is the norm today, unfortunately.

Go ahead and take the plunge -- give "Jane the Virgin" a try. She will steal your heart; she already has mine.

Jane the Virgin is a series I never really expected to fall in-love with. I actually started watching it only this year 2019, which is a very hard year for me. So I'm very thankful that I found this fantastic series.

I grew up watching telenovelas (or teleseryes, as we call them here). I love the genre. So when I saw the pilot, I instantly began to like it...the style and the tone of the story. A comedy, a drama, a romance, a mystery crime, almost everything's in it. I love the creativeness of this show, and the narrator and the animations are some of the best aspects of this show that makes it unique. The cast is also fantastic, and I simply fell in-love with the characters. Unlike most telenovelas, the characters here have more depth and are more relatable. After watching the ending, it's really hard to say goodbye to them. The ending is simply perfect.

If you haven't watched this yet, please do. Be prepared to fall in-love. Be prepared for the shocking twists. Be prepared to cry, laugh, and feel different emotions all at once. This series is a gem.
