Here's What You Need to Know: 
Jane the Virgin is an adaptation of a hit Venezuelan telenovela starring Gina Rodriguez as Jane, a virgin who is accidentally artificially inseminated during a routine gyno appointment. We've already gushed about how much we love this series, despite the fact that it's pretty much every twenty-something girl's wildest nightmare that we never realized could happen. However, don’t let this wacky (and admittedly terrifying!) premise stop you from tuning in and missing out on all the small screen fun.

In a network that is jam-packed with vampires, witches, dark creatures, and brave superheroes, this fall The CW is gifting fans with an outrageous new twist: An endearing and funny new series with absolutely no supernatural elements. Gasp! At its heart, Jane the Virgin is a ridiculously charming show and a breath of fresh air that TV viewers of any age can enjoy.

If You Like… 
The telenovela vibe of Ugly Betty, the family friendly heart of Gilmore Girls, and the easy breezy, but enjoyable stories in Hart of Dixie, then you will love Jane the Virgin.

Bottom Line: 
Jane the Virgin should be at the top of your can't-miss TV list. There's absolutely nothing plain about this Jane, and we can't for fans to be introduced to a new CW character who is less supernatural and much more natural.
