Jane the Virgin continues to be one of my favorite shows on television. It’s an American satirical romantic comedy-drama telenovela about a young Latina woman named Jane Villanueva who is accidentally artificially inseminated while at her doctor’s appointment. The plot thickens when it is revealed the biological donor, Rafael Solano, is not only the owner of the hotel where Jane works, but also her former crush.

My favorite thing about Jane the Virgin is that yes, Jane is involved in a love triangle in the show, but it never becomes the main story. The show never loses sight of the fact that Jane is an independent woman whose choices aren’t just between two men, but also to stay single and focus on her.

Jane the Virgin also has amazing Latina representation. Her family is composed of strong, Latina women such as her grandmother Alba and her mother Xiomara. Both women have been involved in very important storylines containing subjects hard to talk about, especially in television.

In season one, Jane’s beloved grandmother, Alba, was pushed down the steps. She was then rushed to the hospital, and as she laid unconscious, the doctors found out she was not a legal U.S. citizen. The doctors then tell Alba’s daughter, Xiomara, that once she wakes up she would be deported back to Venezuela. Subtitles then appear on the screen saying “Yes, this really happens. Look it up. #ImmigrationReform.”

Not only did they tackle immigration, they also tackled abortion. In season 3, Jane’s mother becomes pregnant. Xiomara has always been adamant about not wanting kids, and what makes this abortion storyline different from others displayed on TV is that Xiomara is not portrayed as feeling guilty, or ashamed. She’s content with her decision to have an abortion despite what others may say.

All in all, Jane the Virgin is an amazing show with great representation. The characters are flawed, relatable, and all have each other’s best interest at heart. If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend it.
