Created by Jennie Snyder Urman, this fresh, funny remake of a Venezuelan telenovela owns its soapy roots — and transcends them. “Jane the Virgin” is entirely aware of how ridiculous its central premise is: Jane Gloriana Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez) is accidentally artificially inseminated when she goes for a pap smear and decides to keep the baby, whose father is a man she kissed five years ago. While “Jane the Virgin” resembles a fantasy in its over-the-top plot twists and the connections between its characters, the emotions are never less than genuine. Rodriguez leads a strong cast who fully commits, particularly Jaime Camil as her telenovela star father, and the actors are benefited by scripts that allow their characters to grow throughout the first season. While most heralded shows center on a male antihero, Jane is an inarguably good woman. She has flaws, but she cares about the people around her, and the show features the strongest female family relationships since “Gilmore Girls.” All that sincerity, coupled with the soapy drama, could feel overwhelming, but the show’s tone ably straddles the line between serious and silly, making it unlike anything else currently on TV. The scripts are smart, but “Jane the Virgin”’s secret weapon is Anthony Mendez as the show’s “Latin Lover” narrator. He adds to the experience with his humor and warmth, rather than demonstrating laziness on behalf of the writers’ room. The series represents a huge jump in quality for The CW, earning the network its first Golden Globe win ever for Rodriguez’s performance.
