Jane the Virgin (2014–2019)
7/10
Fun show. But I progressively hated Jane
17 September 2019
I enjoyed this show, but I have to say that I progressively hated Jane as a character. Not only does she lose the whole "virgin" thing very quickly, but then she just comes off as this entitled, know-it-all. Jane always has something to say about someone else's situation. She is never really a good friend. Jane constantly flip flops her feelings, it becomes nauseating. The far-fetched events of the final season (I won't spoil it), only show how fake she is when it comes to her relationships. I understand it's shot in a telenovela style, but Petra easily is the best and most relatable character. Another example of Jane being selfish is when Petra is asked to write her own book, and Jane says out of the side of her mouth during a meal one time that Petra isn't a writer.. Jane was solely published because her father guaranteed to pay back any losses if the book didn't sell 10k copies, which it didn't. Jane thinks entirely to much of herself because she didn't "crumble her flower".

Petra and Rogelio are the characters that really made this series go to 5 years.

Its a good binge watch, but besides Petra, don't expect any character development.
