Jane the Virgin


Jane the Virgin took me by surprise! I was looking for some series to watch as a time-killer and expected it to be soapy, girly and moony and I was okay with that. However, it turned out, there is a lot more to this one under its pinky, soapy surface. 

The comedy-drama tv series aired on 13 October 2014 on CW’s network. With its absurd plot strings, romantic touch, crime references and well-presented humour, it made me love every minute of it. Fresh, funny, charming, genial, playfull and intriguing do not even begin to describe it.

Gina Rodriguez, playing Jane Villanueva, has been referred to as the breakout star of this fall. And I think she is quite talented, magnetic, likeable and so right for the role.

While, the show is obviously targeted at the female part of the audience, I am not sure it wouldn’t be appreciated by men too.

"Jane the virgin”, by all means, has appeal in its diversity, so if you haven’t seen it yet, you should!

WWHD?... or "What whould Harvey do?"



This is not another TV series review. It’s more like a recommendation, because you can definitely feel that this one is to my liking.

Harvey Specter – one of the main characters on Usanetwork’s “Suits”. He is a corporate lawyer – smart, handsome, rich, confident to the point of cockiness and he always wins. Every man wants to be like him. Every women wants to become a man and be like him. 

So, I discovered this TV-series “Suits” some time ago and when I started watching it I wondered how on earth I had missed it. It is definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen so far. Brilliant, fresh, thrilling, thought-provoking, inspiring, sometimes humorous…yes, it is just that GOOD. No doubt it deserves the high ratings in IMDB – 8.8 (Suits on IMDB) and rottentomatoes – 100% from the critics and 94% from the audience (Suits on rottentomatoes).

The cast consists of not so familiar faces, such as:


Gabriel Macht




Patrick J. Adams



Rick Hoffman



Meghan Markle




They are actually quite likeable and present some great acting, especially Rick Hoffman (who in the series is such a character, lol).

So, this show hooks you up with the first episode, entertains you, moves you and keeps you interested throughout all the episodes of the next 4 seasons. Season 5 is expected to air in 2015 with no certain release date and I just can’t wait to see what they have prepared.

So, have you watched “Suits”?
Yes?... I know you liked it! ;)
