When Gina Rodriguez won the Golden Globe for starring as the titular character in Jane the Virgin, the CW, a network known for overwrought teen dramas, gained some respect and took a step forward in the world of female-driven television. Sure, Jane the Virgin has soap-opera elements, but really it’s a satirical comedy with a talented cast and its share of genuinely heartfelt moments.
This new breed of television (and new breath of life for the CW) gives me hope that there are still plenty of good, original, female-driven shows to be had in this world, one crazy girl’s story at a time.
