It is a fun all-around nod to the telenovela/soap so I wasn't as jarred by the kidnapping. A well done season finale & cliffhanger.
Definitely my favorite show on broadcast last season. Dont know if audiences steered away due to comparisons to Ugly Betty, but a shame that the Emmy people could only give one nom (Latin lover narrator).

I have to say this is the hands-down best presentation of breastfeeding on TV I have ever seen. Seriously it should win an award for its depiction of accurate information.

So glad they did not drag out the kidnapped baby storyline. I honestly was ready to give up the show based on that storyline alone, so I am very relieved they wrapped that horrific storyline up quickly.

Solid start to season 2.

I'm also glad the kidnapping plot didn't get dragged out and thankfully only lasted 12 minutes. Some sweet moments with Jane and Mateo. I loved how Jane was so paranoid about the baby's weight.

I guess Sin Roestro will be the big "baddie" for this season.

I just binge watched season 1 and watched the second season premiere and I love this show. It's light and funny and most of the characters are likable. I'm happy the kidnapping plot went away very quickly. I wish I had watched it last season but now I'm all in.

:lol: Wow, this show really has no interest or fan base at all here. No posts since the Fall.

Anyways, finished the last few episodes of the season. Overall it was a pretty good season.

Jane and Michael got married in the finale, but she's still a virgin since Michael got shot. Guess the show's title still works for another season. But, really how long can they stretch this concept with the show's title? Really surprised his new partner was an impostor. Also surprised it was Rose.

Wedding episode was nice. Some touching moments.

Some interesting cliffhangers going into next season. Xiomara being pregnant from the scumbag actor, Petra's fate being left uncertain since her crazy twin sister took stole her identity. Michael getting shot and Rose being back in the picture.

I think I remember reading the showrunner's comments that Jane will have sex this season. Whether that's the truth or a ploy to throw viewers off the trail I cannot say.

Pretty good premiere last night.

There was no doubt they weren't going to kill off Michael. The flash forward montage of Jane and Michael's futures was a sweet moment.

I don't really think the flashback to Jane and Michael's 1st meeting and her date with the other guy were really needed though.

Looks like Rose will be lingering as the villain since she's the one who shot Michael.

:lol: at Rogelio's arrest for peeing in the cup for those druggies.

I too could have lived without the Jane / Michael / what's his name love triangle. Watching Michael pull them over on their date really made me cringe.

:thumbsup: Woo Hoo Jane finally had sex!!

Go figure that she didn't enjoy it at first. :lol:

Loved the cartoons.

"Tap that Ass" :lol:

The sex animation was hilarious complete with the tap that ass sign.

Well, in Mondays episode, they wrapped up the Petra/Anezka storyline fairly quickly. Now evil and nasty Petra is back.

The tattoo on Anezka's head saying..."Not Petra" was a little overboard though. :lol:

I found the episode a little too homoerotic. Lots of unnecessary male sexual tension and dudes admiring each others bodies. :lol:

I mentioned it in the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend thread, but the actress who plays Petra guest starred there on Friday.

Monday's new episode after returning from the break was a little odd.

Michael having the epiphany and deciding to be an stand-up comedian was pretty uncomfortable to watch.

I did :lol: at the beginning when Jane spit out the muffin before the credits.

Just realized that Xiomara's boyfriend played Carlos on Desperate Housewives.

Damn, I just got caught up with the last 2 episodes.

That was a total kick in the nuts episode on Monday.
:(

Poor Michael. RIP

They did kind of foreshadow it with the way Jane and Michael were re-living their 1st date and in a few other episodes.

The 3 year time jump should be interesting. But I wonder if they will have flashbacks to the aftermath of Michael's death.

I've seen Gina Rodriguez in recent appearances in the media and in some interviews and her hair was much shorter like they showed in the flash forward. I didn't suspect it dealt with the show.

Ugh that was just heartbreaking! The showrunner said they will have flashbacks to the direct aftermath. It will be interesting to see where all the characters are after three years.

It's an 18 episode final season.

I realize this show probably doesn't fit the demographic of this forum, but it's been a solid run. This thread has been mostly dead for the last 5 years. It's really funny and has some warm moments. Last season ended on a big cliffhanger with Jane's previously thought deceased husband being alive.

BTW, one of the main characters Rafael (Justin Baldoni) is the director of the new movie Five Feet Apart.

I still love the show and I hope for a solid ending. Last season's cliffhanger was a dozy but it's a telenovela so, what did I expect. They've announced a spin-off haven't they?

Yes a spinoff is being developed and cast. It's not officially picked up yet. Gina Rodriguez would apparently narrate it if it goes to series.

Well, I just binge watched this, and I LOVED it. I haven't gotten so caught up in a show since Farscape. Really loved the self aware telenovela plot, and just the general warm hearted wit of the show. Rogelio is one of my favorite characters ever--he was just hilarious. Petra, too. Kind of sad it's over.
