    One must need a zero IQ to enjoy this show. The acting is acceptable, but the story is just dumb.

    I cannot believe the CW cancelled Star Crossed and put this junk on instead.

    Just one word describes this (boring) who in his right mind would believe this story line....
    Yes, I did watch it , boring teens getting pregnant by a doctor impregnate her with someone's else's baby making material, just repulsed me...

    I'm still incredibly surprised that it has been well received by critics.It has an exceptionally farfetched storyline but I had to excuse it since it was being touted as an Americanized telenovela.I eventually decided to watch this show after it scored two Golden Globe nominations and one win this year but found myself completely disliking the show.

There is little to like about it except for the narrator and Jane's hilarious father whom I think deserved the Golden Globe win or nomination more than the show nor Gina Rodriguez (no offence to this year's Best Actress in A Comedy winner but I would not have pegged her to rob many veteran actresses in her category with her performance which was not exactly anything to shout about).The show is an hour long and there are more than twenty episodes in a season thereby meaning that there would bound to be many filler episodes where the plot or an arc would be going nowhere. It didn't take long for that to happen. Three episodes in and I'm already wishing that it was only a half hour show like most comedies are.Sure there are some dramatic elements to it too but when we strip everything down, this is a comedy that exists solely on over-exaggeration, not only in terms of the acting but in terms of its various plots and subplots. I don't even recall its most commonly compared to show "Ugly Betty" (RIP) being that bad or trying way too hard. I can't for the life of me imagine this show seeing an expiration date beyond two seasons at most.Its Golden Globe win and unfathomable rave reviews from critics has probably rescued it from near death as it was already being warned about getting the axe in its early weeks. There are many great comedies that have not survived a season let alone a couple episodes but this one surprisingly has. I have quit watching it to save myself an hour that I could probably use to actually sit down and better focus on doing my nails or something which I find myself doing one time too many while having the show on in front of me. I'll also need to remind myself not to trust any new hip show that the critics are raving so much about.… Expand

    In a lacklustre fall season, this sweet surprise of a pilot, with its shrewd narration and likable cast, made me cross my fingers that the show can maintain its charms.

    Talented, magnetic, sexy and above all else extremely likable, Rodriguez is the glue that holds together the tonally difficult-to-pull-off Jane the Virgin series.

    It’s not self-serious, but it is serious--about being more entertaining, more emotional, more garish, and more gonzo than so much on television.
