I always enjoy checking out the latest TV shows on Netflix, but like many subscribers, I find myself returning to a selection of what I would call “comfort shows” My personal favorites are easygoing series like “The Good Place,” “Derry Girls,” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” but another always popular choice is “Jane the Virgin”

Yes, this fan favorite and critically acclaimed comedy-drama will be removed from the world's largest streaming service in just a few days But here's why “Jane the Virgin” is a must-see and will be missed when it reaches its final episode on Netflix next week

While some television shows try to fill in the main story with cryptic names that seem largely irrelevant to the actual events on screen, “Jane the Virgin” does not It is a comedy-drama about a woman named Jane (Gina Rodriguez) who makes a vow to her grandmother as a child to remain a virgin until marriage

At the beginning of the series, the 23-year-old seemingly has life all figured out She is studying to be a teacher and dating a handsome detective (Brett Dier) who supports her decision to remain a virgin Of course, things don't stay quiet for very long, as a show about a person with a perfect life is never interesting

Jane, who was supposed to be visiting the clinic regularly, gets pregnant after being artificially inseminated by a gynecologist by mistake Moreover, the sperm donor was Jane's boss, Raphael (Justin Baldoni) Facing this unexpected hurdle is daunting, more drama awaits, and Jane's life is about to get seriously complicated in no time

“Jane the Virgin” is not packed with couch-grabbing thrills or shocking cliffhangers, but it is a great show to enjoy when you want to relax and not have your head working too hard It's a great show to stream while you're doing other things, like laundry or cleaning

Jane's real ace in the hole is her eponymous heroine Jane is an instantly likable character, and you find yourself rooting for her success not only in her newfound pregnancy, but also in her romantic endeavors (which, one can only imagine, involve a love triangle) Jane's likability is largely due to Gina Rodriguez's excellent performance

One of the most impressive things about Jane of the Virgin is its consistent quality; the first season, which premiered in 2019, received a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and one would think that the ratings would drop in subsequent chapters All five seasons of Jane of the Virgin have received a 100% rating on the review aggregation site

It is not only critics who have become enamored with Jane The comedy-drama enjoyed extremely high ratings throughout its run Rotten Tomatoes averaged an impressive 86% score for the five seasons, with season two receiving the largest score of 92%

If you're not interested in Netflix's latest offering and want an easy show to put together over the Labor Day long weekend, “Jane the Virgin” is a great choice Unfortunately, it won't be available on Netflix until Thursday, September 5, so make the most of the time you have left with “Jane the Virgin” now

Veterans may want to spend the next few days rewatching their favorite episodes and reliving the show's most iconic moments Sadly, for newcomers, watching all 100 episodes by next Thursday seems like quite a hurdle, but you can always catch up on shows until the new streaming home
