TV shows I love that you might too.
Hello dear Hivers.
I stumbled on the Movies and TV show community. Turns out there is an ongoing contest which ends on the 4th of May. For more information to those interested, kindly click on this link.
This is my entry. I decided to write on an OG Tv series (not sure I used this slang correctly) and a recent reality show.

The TV series Jane the virgin (2014) is one show I would forever recommend to anyone. If you’re a sucker for romance novels and shows like me, then this is the one for you.
Though it’s old but it’s definitely gold.
WRITERS REVIEW
The writers of this film are incredible. They took their time to carefully write each of the characters in such a unique way. Somehow they made over 6 actors the main characters of the show. There was not one boring episode in the whole five seasons.
ABOUT THE SHOW.
Jane the virgin is a romantic, comedy-drama telenovela starring Gina Rodriguez.
It features Jane a chaste woman who got artificially inseminated and eventually got pregnant a VIRGIN.
Jane, her mother and her granny lived together and each of them have a story;
Jane - a pregnant virgin finds herself in a romantic mix up between two men she fell in love with.
Jane’s mother - can’t keep a man till her runaway husband who is a huge Spanish celebrity came back to her life to make up for lost time.
Jane’s granny - a strict religious woman tries her best to keep her daughter and granddaughter in line with the principles of the church.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE SHOW
The plot twist.
In most Tv series I’ve seen, I’ve never seen one with this much plot twist. There are so many twists in it that I lost count and the great thing is it all makes sense and would leave you speechless.
It is also 100% binge worthy and rated for family.
WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THE SHOW
Likewise, the plot twist.
For instance, they make us think she’ll end up with the father of her child, everything is going great, he loves her she loves him etc. only for them to introduce her other lover and he also seems great for her. Now both Jane and we watching are left confused and indecisive.
Something like this happens consecutively and it frustrates me sometimes.
AN INTERESTING FACT
The show was adapted from a Venezuelan telenovela called Juana la Virgen created by Perla Farías.
Jane the virgin was nominated for Best Television Series at the 72nd Global Globe awards and Gina Rodriguez won best actress.
PS, I left out some juicy parts for those that are yet to watch. Enjoy!

This is a reality show so unfortunately, writers review does not exist.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Just like every reality show, there is fight, feud and most importantly there is drama.
This show is about fourteen contestant that are taken to a luxury beachside villa to live life and have fun. The only twist is for as long as they stay in the Villa, they must remain celibate (to abstain from any sexual relation).
The contestants consisting single ladies and men are to live together and build relationships between each other. To play spicy games and go on dates but never indulge in any form of sexual intercourse in order to win the grand prize - $100,000.
Each time anyone breaks the rule, a certain amount is deducted from the grand prize. This way everyone suffers for each other’s consequences.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE SHOW
I love how each contestants get to share their true life stories and I love the challenge to remain celibate.
Of course another thing I love are all the hotties ;)
I lost count of how many men I had a crush on in the show but thats asides the point.
WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THE SHOW
The only thing I disliked in the show was when they brought in new contestants and to make it worse, they were boring to me.
AN INTERESTING FACT
• The contestants had no idea of the sex ban before entering the villa.
• Some singles ended up being a couple both in the show and outside the show.
• The show host is an AI Device called Lana.
• The sex ban was lifted in the final episode and the grand prize was split evenly among all contestants.
That’s all for now!

Hmm... 7.9/10 on IMDB and an impressive 100% rating on rotten tomatoes. I'm in! Sounds promising.
Also, just wanted to point out that your WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THE SHOW section of this post kind of contains significant spoilers for the series mostly. Telling us about the major plot twists that happen in the story can be considered as spoiling.
Regardless, I'll go check out the series cause of you.
Oh my, I didn't even realize and I tried my best not to add in any spoilers.
But trust me when I say this, those aren’t even close to the major twists. You are still in for a surprise ;)
And thanks for your rating even if I don’t quite get the “rotten tomatoes” one..
Well, no harm done much I guess. Still in for a surprise you say? I'm getting hyped again....
Also, don't mention it. My pleasure.
@winniecorp Jane the Virgin seems like something interesting. As a matter of fact, I'm on Netflix now. Thanks for the recommendation.
It should be on Netflix, though it's not a Netflix original series.
You're welcome and I'm sure you'd enjoy it! As a fellow Lover girl hehe
Lol. I found it on Netflix. I already love it!
Hi. The images were edited in Canva, but it is important to put the source from where you took the images of the series and also those of the cover.
Alright, I'll do that now.
I’ve heard about Jane the Virgin. Now, I really want to check it out.
I'm sure you'd love it. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for sharing.
I have been wanting to watch Jane the virgin for the longest period but, never got to it.
Seen a few scenes of it and I loved it.
Haha I guess this is your sign to continue the series.
Whenever you have free time it'll be a nice series to binge.
Thanks for stopping by!
I'll be getting right on it.
Sounds great.
I watched Jane the Virgin for a while but the back and forth stressed me too much. I agree it is a great show though.
I haven't seen Too Hot To Handle yet. Is it when a couple first had sex they let them know about the ban or they had no idea till the show ended?
Jane the virgin was stressful to be honest, but still a great series.
As for too hot to handle, the contestants would first be brought to the villa one by one. Before coming they have no idea of the ban.
When they are all complete on the first day, That's when the host Lana explains the rules to them.
I hope I explained it well enough?
Yes you did. It's crazy to know the rule and still go ahead to break it 😄
Seeing all the hotties in bikinis and men’s swim wears I can't really blame them 😩
No single self-control 😂
😂😂 no further comment..
Gina Rodriguez
That's one of my favourite actress
I'm off to download this movie 😀
Goodluck in the contest
She's a great actress I can see why she's your fav 😇
I hope you enjoy the series. Thank you!
Sure I will
Thanks for the recommendation once more
My pleasure
