A delightful mix of telenovela drama and warm romance, Jane the Virgin tells the story of Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez), whose life is turned upside down when she is accidentally inseminated during a routine medical check-up. Over-the-top twists are balanced masterfully with emotional moments, such as those shared between Jane and Michael (Brett Dier) and Rafael (Justin Baldoni). Fun fact: Gina Rodriguez became the first Latina to win the Best Actress in a TV Comedy category in decades after winning her Golden Globe for this role.
