You need to do your heart a favor.
LISTEN UP. Jane the Virgin's entire first season is on Netflix. The second season is still in its infancy. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO WATCH THIS SHOW. Your soul will thank you. Here are some reasons to get on it right now.

Gina Rodriguez will literally leave you in awe.
I don't know what witches Gina Rodriguez visits to give her face the power to make me feel so many things, but I would like to thank them. There's a reason she won that Golden Globe, and there's a reason that her absence from the Emmy nominations this year was a crime against television.

For real, though: You'll fall in love with Rodriguez both onscreen and off.
Just listen to this woman talk. As she told the Television Critics Association in July 2014: "I didn’t become an artist to be a millionaire. I didn’t become an actor to wear Louis Vuitton. I have to give this dress back when we’re done. I became an actor to change the way I grew up. The way I grew up, I never saw myself on screen. I have two older sisters. One’s an investment banker. The other one is an doctor, and I never saw us being played as investment bankers. And I realized how limiting that was for me. I would look at the screen and think, ‘Well, there’s no way I can do it, because I’m not there.’ And it’s like as soon as you follow your dreams, you give other people the allowance to follow theirs.

And Jane Villanueva is just waiting to become one of your favorite characters of all time.
Jane Gloriana Villanueva is in no way a copy of Leslie Knope, but she seems to have come from that same beautiful school of character writing: She is all her own, with idiosyncrasies, hangups, and her own intense need to make everything perfect — and she's the absolute heart of this show, pulling all of these people into the same space and making us root for her (and the rest of them) by the force of her own fierce belief.
