--- SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER ---
You might just expanded that spoiler box in curiosity. Maybe this is a habit now. But think again. Are you really sure? This no ordinary plot twist. This is the biggest, hardest, the most incredible surprise in the history of Jane The Virgin.
So this is your last chance. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER...
Jane The Virgin is ahead of its time. The only shows that found a place in the TV lately have been dark comedies or cynical stories that show as many "unbelievably awful" things humans can do. This comes from the greed TV us watchers have, we want to be shocked, and TV writers think the easiest way to do so is by showing cynicism and emptiness in people's actions.
The reality isn't this grim though. People are bad, people are good. There are thousands of inspirational stories all around you if you look close enough. Jane The Virgin writers show both sides successfully, feeding our sense of inspiration on the way. And that's not the only successful writing in the show, they do it while also showing how a person should carry her/his integrity; whether s/he's a parent, a child, a grandma, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a wife, or a husband who'd do everything to protect his family, even if that means he'll have to stay dead for a few seasons...
Jane The Virgin was progressing slowly in Season 4, but definitely made a huge leap in the season finale. It was the best episode of this season. In the finale, JtV appealed to the aspects that made it such a good show in the first 3 seasons. Jane The Virgin was good because it was a mix of several genres. It had dynamic angles to the relationships and it had crime, on top of the regular drama and comedy. Season 4 lacked some of its strongest assets with Michael's death. No more crime investigations, no more dynamic relationship romance, no more being inspired by the sheer good, and its victories against cynical evil.
And now, all of them are back. My only criticism is to the producers... How can you make us wait with this cliffhanger? Bring the season 5 next week!
