The series finds just the right balance, creating a unique place for itself among the current network fare. With its down-to-earth lead character and self-aware, but not self-parodying approach, Jane The Virgin is a breath of fresh air that will hopefully find a strong and loyal fan base. Read full review

This one could take off, especially if the humor doesn’t obscure the layers of Jane’s moral journey. Read full review

That the whole pilot doesn't collapse into a pile of rubble is due to Rodriguez--or maybe because Jane is so confoundedly odd you want to see what happens next. Read full review

There is a warm sense of family in this series. There is a distinctive sense of style--of being its own kind of show. And there is a sly sense of humor. On all three counts, Jane the Virgin delivers. Read full review

It's one of the best things to come out of the fall season, but as a recreational television watcher, I like it too. Read full review

An infectiously enjoyable confection of outlandish telenovela-inspired soap opera (think Ugly Betty) grounded in lovably fractious family dynamics. Read full review

Even by the soap-opera standards of telenovelas, it feels a little much. The pieces at first don’t always mesh smoothly. Rodriguez is terrific, though, and this could be that rare telenovela that assimilates. Read full review

What makes “Jane the Virgin” work is that, while the situations the characters end up in are absurd, the characters always react like actual human beings. It actually makes you believe that things so surreal can really be overcome so naturally.

An endlessly entertaining, heart-tugging self-aware comedy still into season 3. The pitch-perfect cast and skilled writing team nail the tone nearly every week. It's hilarious, exciting and always affecting.

I was one of the many people who thought that this show would be terrible due to its catchy yet off putting title. However, the well-known quote “Don’t judge the book by its cover” applies here because this show is great and the show title ends up being part of its charm.

What makes Jane The Virgin so fun and entertaining to watch is how meta this show is. The narrator knows that this show has a ridiculous Spanish soap opera (or commonly called as telenovela) concept of a pregnant virgin and it makes fun of the telenovela cliches and that ends up being so charming and funny.

While the narrator is charming as ever, the main star of the show Gina Rodriguez is the highlight as the titular character. Her performance elevated Jane’s character so much that she ends up being Jane Gloriana Villanueva to my eyes, not Gina Rodriguez.

The characters in Jane’s life are fun to watch especially with Jane’s family members. The dynamic that Jane has with her family is so refreshing and adorable.

As for the arc plot goes, the arcs are obviously taken straight from a telenovela but it’s not bothersome because the show already knows these situations were ridiculous and that’s what makes it so entertaining and intriguing to watch.… Expand
