This is the second time that I watched a show after a friend’s recommendation and absolutely fell in love with it. As with Supernatural, I wasn’t sure Jane the Virgin would be my cup of tea. I’m happy to say that I was wrong. The show has brought me to both laughter and tears and never disappointed.
Written and created in telenovela format, the show is full of twists and turns. It toys with your emotions in a good way and makes you crave more. The characters are phenomenal and the plot is both touching and hilarious. While you might expect the unrealistic parts of the show to be annoying, it actually makes the series even more enjoyable.
Not only is Jane the Virgin hilarious and heart breaking all at once, but it’s utterly creative. The creativity added to the enjoyment and never stopped delivering.
I think my favorite thing about the show was the narration. Anthony Mendez had me cracking up more times than I could count. He definitely made the show the funniest series I’ve seen in a while.
Another aspect of Jane the Virgin that I enjoyed so much was how truly touching it was. As some of you may know, I’m not one to get overly emotional when it comes to watching – or reading – fiction. In fact, other than Gilmore Girls, there aren’t many shows that have brought me to tears. While I wouldn’t say I ever cried while watching Jane the Virgin, there were definitely scenes and plot lines that tugged at my heartstrings.
One last thing I’d like to talk about is the connection between family in this show. While other shows (such as Supernatural) claim to focus on the family dynamic, I really feel that Jane the Virgin does. Sure, there is humor and at times, outrageous stories being told, but underneath it all, the show is clearly about the love of family.
Jane the Virgin is a series that truly has it all. It contains serious issues, comical plot lines, love stories, and a plethora of enjoyable tosses and turns. It’s about life, death, and the crazy journey in between!
I give Jane the Virgin an A.
