Why You Should Be Watching Golden Globe Winner Jane the Virgin

Jane is Gina Rodriguez's breakout role, and we couldn't be more smitten with her; she completely deserves her lead actress win. She's cute and charming, has excellent comedic timing, and has equally good dramatic chops. Essentially, she's what makes this show work. When things are emotional or weird (and things get very weird), Rodriguez transmits it in an entirely sympathetic way.

Yeah, this premise is kooky and shouldn't work. It's not just Rodriguez's acting that makes it, though; the telenovela style does too. It's self-consciously campy, with captions on the screen that fill you in and make you laugh.

Like when she shook her thang during one of young Jane's parties.

See? Xo was just protecting Jane.

Jane's father, whose identity Xo hadn't disclosed, is this guy: flashy telenovela star Rogelio De La Vega. He really, really loves the spotlight, and it's pretty hilarious.

Watching his relationship with Jane develop from the beginning has been heartwarming, even when it's understandably awkward.

Rafael is the father of Jane's unborn child — it's his sperm that was supposed to go to his estranged wife, Petra — but as luck would have it, he and Jane have history. Their sexual tension has led to something more, and we totally get it — Rafael's so dreamy.

Part of the reason why that sexual tension has been weird is because Jane was with Michael when she got pregnant. Then, they got engaged a short time after, which didn't turn out to be a bed of roses.

Besides the identity questions and sperm-ending-up-in-the-wrong-person stuff, there is still more drama. FYI, this isn't dramatic because it's a steamy lesbian kiss.

Yep, the doctor who accidentally inseminates Jane is Rafael's sister, Luisa, who's having an affair with their stepmother. Who is now trying to gaslight Luisa so people won't find out about the affair. Told you it was dramatic.

Oh yes, amid all the craziness, there have also been two murders since the series started, and they're still unsolved.

While Jane tries to navigate the situation of being a pregnant virgin and just getting to know her birth father, something very sweet has been happening at the center of it all: Jane and Rafael have been falling for each other. It's already full of complications, and Rodriguez herself has promised even more. And we can't wait.
