It’s time to fall in love with Jane The Virgin all over again
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Monday, October 12. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Jane The Virgin (The CW, 9 p.m.): The wait is finally over. Jane The Virgin returns to make Monday nights fun again. Well, Jane’s back, but the baby’s still missing. But in the season two premiere, Jane learns Mateo Gloriano Rogelio Solano Villanueva has been kidnapped, and Sin Ros(e)tro demands ransom for the poor, innocent baby who was born into all of this messy telenovela drama. Meanwhile, Petra’s still hanging onto some Rafael sperm that she just can’t quite decide what to do with. We’re guessing she doesn’t just throw it away, because that would be too uncomplicated. Welcome back, Petra! Welcome back, Jane The Virgin! Welcome back, Golden Globe-winner Gina Rodriguez! Welcome back, supremely underrated character Luisa Alver!
Also noted
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (The CW, 8 p.m.): Remember last fall when people pre-judged Jane The Virgin because of its title and it was super hard for you to convince your friends and family that it really—no really—is a super great show that they should all be tuning in for? The same is probably going to happen for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which, despite its perhaps alarming title—already shows a lot of promise in its pilot. Oh, and it’s a musical! Allison Shoemaker will bring you TV Club coverage of the show every week.
Fargo (FX, 10 p.m.): Fargo returns for its second season tonight, and John Teti will be covering the new season for TV Club.
Minority Report (Fox, 9 p.m.): This week marks the very last TV Club review of Minority Report, which the show should have seen coming.
