More real news than fake news?
I think it is this for me. I find the show very enjoyable but not really a comedy show.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Apparently Giles is in it at some point
He showed up early last night as Galavant's dad. The finale was both good and bad. There were some great songs (especially the duet between Chef and the maid about poisoning all the nobles) and some actual progress in the story. OTOH, there wasn't enough ASH, and Rutger Hauer sucked all the air out of every scene he was in. The man does not do light comedy.

Which is weird because he was pretty good at it in the Buffy movie. Of course, that was more than 20 years ago...
I cracked up when the chef revealed that he'd used his knowledge of everyone's allergies to tailor the dishes to trigger them.

I'm loving Jane the Virgin MUCH more than I expected to.
HI-larious.

I just started watching Jane the Virgin recently and it is so much fun!! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on all the episodes I missed.

Rogelio is MY FAVORITE. It's amazing how they can walk the line between adorable and insufferable so well.

The Rogelio actor is marvellous, isn't he? Both the writing and the acting are so perfectly on point for the character. That final scene between him and Jane in the latest ep! My heart grew three sizes bigger.
They've aired 12 episodes so far and I don't think there has been a single bad episode. There were eps where more exciting/aww-inducing things happened, sure, but the quality and tone of the show have been remarkably consistent. And that cast! Not just Rogelio and the Villaneuva women, but all the major and minor supporting characters have been terrific -- not a weak link among them.

I have not been watching it because I am put off by the premise. Is it easy to get past, would you say?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
It's a cracky premise, but they deal with it in a thoughtful fashion. Jane and her family, who are devout Catholics, actually discuss abortion as a valid choice she could make, which surprised and pleased me. The show is a great mix of super fast-moving cracktastic plot train + very grounded emotional character work. On a stylistic front, I find it just delightful -- it's got quite a bit of fairy-tale/magic realism touch, and is often hilariously meta.
If you watch the first couple of episodes (I believe they're available online), you'll know immediately whether it's for you or not. It's got a very distinctive voice right off the gate.
