Jane the Virgin was an excellent show overall, but the final season was a disappointment. The first season was engaging because of the fun and unique premise. The second one built on its success. The third was daring, unexpected, and beautifully written, with interesting personal and societal themes to carry it forward. The fourth was passable, but it didn't do much more than kick the ball forward. However, the fifth falls flat on its face with its meandering writing, poorly thought out return for Michael and lack of a real pay off. Happy endings are great, but here the impact was minimal as it felt too formulaic and didn't seem to have much of a message.
