Gone-zo


We have finally given up on this show. Oddly, we watched every episode - from her inception to where she finally does the deed.
We liked Jane. I loved the dad and the narration! Petra was always interesting, and her sister made it more interesting. But the plots got to be too many. And less interesting. They tried to keep too many balls in the air.
I find subtitles distracting, and never read what the grandmother was saying.
This is/was a good show. But when it came back this year, neither of us seemed that interested. I stopped recording it.
Farewell Jane Gloriana Villanueva. But this got to be too much of a telenovella! (gasp)

I haven't quite given up yet. but season 3 really is pushing it so far. The one thing that was fun and fresh was how while it indulged in some of the silly tropes of the telenovella.. it never felt like it felt trapped in them. Season 2 and beyond it just keeps getting further and further away from being charming and cleverly subverting those tropes to just lazily falling victim to them.
