This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol.
Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV today. That being said, I don't think this is a show that only females would enjoy. I totally think its a show that you could make your boyfriends or husbands watch and they'll end up liking it too! (I know its a little sexist of me to assume that guys won't watch this unless you force them... but I have been talked into watching many TV shows and movies by guys that I probably wouldn't have watched on my own and I liked them all. Don't think its sexist... just think thats how things work.) And all the characters had something going on that not everyone knew about. The audience pretty much knows everything thats going on, but the characters on the show don't exactly know everything... and that creates a lot of interesting things.
There were also a lot of plot twists and just interesting things going on in the pilot. The concept of Jane getting accidentally artificially inseminated seems like a silly concept and that a show just on that alone wouldn't be all that interesting... but everything that makes it all come together is just so great and so interesting and good that it works really really well.
It worked it was super interesting, and I was only expecting to watch the pilot and probably not watch the show again... but I will DEFINITELY keep watching it because it was just so good. All the characters and the acting were good and its just a cute show that will make you want to watch it.
That's it! Hope you guys like this review! I'll probably start posting more about this on my "This Week in TV" posts!
