Didn't see this one posted, so I thought I'd add it. What a GREAT premiere! This show is like a parody of a Mexican soap opera. Strong acting, funny storyline and feels fresh. Don't know if it'll last, but I'm hoping so. Anyone else catch it?

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

Yeah, this is based on a Venezuelan telenovela from 12 years ago, it ran for about 150 episodes.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

Cute episode, will tune in again.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

I really loved it, exactly the kind of light show I need more of in my viewing lineup.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

I didn't know what to expect with this show and was pleasantly surprised. Really liked the lead, and her mother's reaction to her being pregnant made me :lol:.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

OMG, I loved this. This wasn't really on my must see list, but I read a lot of positive reviews and checked it out. I laughed so much, especially when Jane's Mom thought the pregnancy was a miracle :lol:

The grandmother who is also on Switched at Birth was also hilarious, especially her reaction to the pregnancy.

I like the lead. She's very charming and cute.

:lol: at the Telenovela star being Jane's father. Total parody of a Mexican soap opera.

Having the thick Spanish accented narrator was a cool touch.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

Just watched episode 2. LOL!

OK, seeing And the relationship with the doctor's lover...too much! This show is great. Totally roped me in.

Enjoying the narrator and on-screen type, too. It's as much part of the show as the characters.

And: "I have too many phones. The best way to reach me is Twitter." :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

:lol: at Zaz getting impaled. They're not holding back on the crazy telenovela plots. I'm glad I checked out this show.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) series thread
 

Another good one. Gina Rodriguez is really great in this.

Fun mix of crazy plots and regular plotting.

El President!
lol

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Picked up for a full season according to Deadline.

Love it!! Last night's episode was hilarious.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Ratings for the second episode were up from the premiere, and the show beat its lead-in :up:

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

I was :lol: with the whole Milkshake thing and Jane calling the baby a Milkshake.

:lol: at the ending when Zaz got impaled.

I was surprised to see the actress playing Petra's Mom was Priscilla Barnes from Three's Company. Man, she used to be hot, but that was 30 years ago. I wonder what was up with the burn marks on her face.

The over the top Spanish narrator is awesome and I love the typed text.

If you're reading this and haven't seen this show yet, check it out, especially if you were a fan of a show like Ugly Betty.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

WHAT? That was Priscilla Barnes?! Wow, I used to think she was all that and then some... :lol:

I think her character

Aging can be a son of a bitch...just ask Renee Zellwegger.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Does the storyline follow the story of the original series?

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

This show is a nice surprise.

Two of the women on this are drop dead gorgeous. The blonde, Petra and the red head who was on that D&D type show. Sorry I don't know the names.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Another good episode last night. Yeeps, they're kinda pushing the broadcast standard for lesbian scenes. Don't think I've seen scenes like this on network TV before.

LOL at seeing Jane's heart beat. Though I thought it was a given she wouldn't actually sleep with her fiance. With the show's title, I'm sure they're going to keep her considering her flower for as long as possible...

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

:lol: at the petals falling off the flowers when Jane was in bed with Michael. Jane's father cracks me up every time he shows up.

She's more "cute" than drop dead gorgeous, but I think Jane is easily the most attractive woman on the show.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Jane might not be in the 3 or 4 best looking on the show.
Jane's coworkers look great too.

@Juryduty, what did you see in a lesbianism scene that is pushing it for tv?

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Father Time is a cruel motherfucker.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

"I am sure the linguists among you have picked up on this, but they are speaking Czech." :lol:

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Is Anna Ortiz the new America Ferrera?

Check out this movie and I think it is playing on the HBO channels. Maybe she got discovered after doing this movie.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Huh??? :confused:

Ana Ortiz is on Devious Maids.

Jane is played by Gina Rodriguez.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Just watched the first episode finally...good stuff.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Keep watching--it really holds up week after week.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Gina Rodriguez sorry but Anna Ortiz was in that movie too and played her sister.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

:lol: at Petra and her mother with the kidnapped guy.

That head nun is a bitch. She's always chiding Jane, but feels just fine exploiting her.

Rogelio just cracks me up..."I've had too much normal people wine" :lol:

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

So the Golden Globes did one thing right, it put this show on my DVR, and we finally caught up, so I'm looking forward to new episodes now, and maybe a heel turn this next episode.

On a side note, they don't exactly make it easy to catch up. I think they had a marathon but I only caught the first couple of episodes; Hulu only has the first five episodes and the latest one.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

I agree. I tried to get a friend hooked a few weeks ago and even the CW website only has 5 episodes. Pretty irritating considering this show REALLY builds one episode upon another, like a soap opera.

LOL even the narrator at the beginning of last night's episode basically gave up during the recap. :P

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

I just got caught up with the last 3 episodes.

My reaction to the end of last night's episode:

-eek- WTF??? :lol:

Zaz is still alive? Man, this really is a Telenovella.

Rogelio absolutely cracks me up on this show. I love his interactions with Jane. Especially the scenes with her working as a writer on his show and then when he was killed off.

:lol: at how Rose killed Emilio. That was a little over the top.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

It's moving really well. No clue how they are going to keep this momentum going for a second season.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

I am conflicted

Is Gina Rodriguez hot or not? Sometimes yes and other times no.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

It's so weird... I feel as if most "reveals" they have are really underwhelming (like why Zaz was back, or Rose's reveal, or even Rogelio's "firing"), but the cast is what really makes this show enjoyable.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Just watched the season finale.

Wow, a shit load of crazy twists.

The extra sperm sample from Rafael, which Petra took.

and then Jane's Mom and Rogelio get married.

and then poor Mateo gets kidnapped. Any theories on who was the kidnapper?

I have no clue who it might be. Wasn't sure how they would continue things into season 2, but it seems like they have a good blue print.

I know this show isn't really geared towards the comic and sci-fi nerds of this forum, but I thought this was a pretty good 1st season. Definitely a much lighter Spanish telenovela parody or sorts.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

The finale left a bad taste in my mouth. I know it is supposed to be a soap opera, but taking a newborn baby from his mama just went too damn far for me. For an otherwise fun show, that was just too horrific.

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Also, the reveal that Sin Rostero now has a different face...

I agree, Jadzia, the ending was a bit horrific for such a light show. I didn't see that coming at all. Don't know how they're going to keep it light after that. Then again, isn't that another play on the telenovela--ending the season with a huge cliffhanger?

Meanwhile, this has become my new morning alarm: https://soundcloud.com/rogelio-de-la...ake-up-rogelio

Re: Jane the Virgin (CW) - Series Thread
 

Season 2 premieres tonight, 10/12/15.

22 episode season.

Re: Jane the Virgin (The CW) - Series Thread
 

Here in Canada, the show wasn't picked up by a Canadian network, therefore, if you don't have the CW American station (which I don't), is only available in a Canadian streaming service called "Shomi". Thankfully, I have it but most Canadians don't subscribe to it unless they have Rogers as a provider and they have it bundled like I do.

Re: Jane the Virgin (The CW) - Series Thread
 

I hope they can quickly resolve the last season cliffhanger tonight. I do not want to watch a season of a postpartum mother trying to locate her baby.
