'Jane The Virgin': 'Full Frontal' Episode Shows How One Choice Can Change Everything
One of America's most-loved television series, "Jane The Virgin", may look soft superficially. However, when one can look deeper into the issues brought through the story line, there is actually a lot to learn, from political up to social aspect.
While we see a Latina who tries to fit in in the land where she chose to migrate, we also see how immigrant women struggle in their day to day lives. Vulture just enumerated all the things that people should look deeper to while watching "Jane the Virgin" and how the show seems fitting to the current political situation in the United States.
The recent episode showed how Michael and Rafael are trying to get the friendship strings tied; While Xiomara is trying her best to get back on track in her career search. The report noticed that the dilemmas and the situations of the characters in "Jane the Virgin" by this time seems to be not quite interrelated, a scenario which does not happen that much in the show.
However, the episode might have just shown how "Jane the Virgin" characters' deal with things when they are not going their way. For Fox, Xiomara looks lost right now because she is in a deep dilemma. The publication also noticed how two shows from the same network dip into issues residents of the United States face right now after the election result was turned in.
Coincidentally (or intentionally), both "Jane the Virgin" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" showed how a woman struggles when she is already at the deciding pit of getting her baby aborted. Both mothers decided to do so but it wasn't highlighted as a major topic. Instead, both shows showed how the decision affects the mother after the deed.
Refinery29 also noticed the same topic "Jane the Virgin" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" delve into in their recent episodes. Although abortion is most of the time shadowed by a lot more issues looming in society, it should be something that should be given focus to, most especially that statistics say there are more and more women who decide to go into the process.
