For months you have heard reporters gush over Jane the Virgin and its star Gina Rodriguez, and tonight at 9p on The CW you get to see what we have all been talking about.
Jane is a 23 year old virgin and she is about to get some news that will change her whole life.
Since she was a little girl, her grandmother instilled in her to remain virtuous until her wedding day. So that is what the daughter of a teenage mother has done. Which hasn’t been easy recently because she has been seeing Michael (Brett Dier) for 2 years, and he is hot. Besides dating him, she is working at a hotel and going to school to be a teacher. She has a plan, and marrying him is not part of it until after she gets her degree.
Back to the hotel, they have a new owner, Rafael (Justin Baldoni). Jane met him once before, and their lives about to collide again.
One day, Jane goes to the gynecologist to get a pap smear at the same time Rafael’s wife, Petra (Yael Grobglas), has gone into get inseminated with his sample. You see, Rafael had cancer and that is his only sample that’s left. Anyways, back to the doctors, Rafael’s sister is a gynecologist and she is having a bad day. So much so, that she accidentally inseminates Jane instead of her sister-in-law, who she didn’t know what coming in to get the procedure done. Which makes sense because Petra just found out that her husband wants to divorce her. If he does that, she will be out a lot of money because they have an iron-clad pre-nup.
Fast forward to two weeks later and Jane the Virgin is pregnant. Now she has to decide what to do. Does she keep it or does get rid of it? If she keeps it, then her boyfriend will dump her. Give it to Rafael since it is half his? That is a lot for any girl to decide. Thankfully, she has her mother, Xiomara (Andrea Navedo) and her abuela (Ivonne Coll) to help her out. In doing so, she finds out some secrets from her past about them, and these are not the only secrets that come out.
Since Jane the Virgin is based on a Spanish Telenovela, be prepared for many many more to come out. Ay dios mio!
Out of all the new shows on television this season, Jane the Virgin is by far the sweetest one of them all. You can’t help but to fall in love with the show and the star. Gina Rodriguez is the future of Hollywood, and more stars should follow her example on how they should be. She’s smart, beautiful, humble and she can act! Just like Gina, the show is smart, beautiful, humble and it can act. Well it has a lot of great actors to support Gina.
Jane the Virgin is unlike anything else on The CW and I hope this is the first of many shows like it on the network. Not that there is anything wrong with the others, but when you see just how lovable and infectious Jane the Virgin is you are going to want more shows like it on the air.
