I start reviewing one of fall’s biggest hits: rife with diversity, humor, and heart–things I think more TV shows need. Let’s dive into the telenovela goodness!

ConStar's Pilot Watch: Jane the Virgin
I’d kinda wanted to watch this, and now I *really* want to watch this. Jane the Virgin is original and diverse and is laying the seeds for some fun, dramatic storytelling, with tellanovella twists.

But it is also a great opportunity to add more diversity to its already diverse cast. Let’s hope the writing gets even stronger and allows people of all colors and capabilities to be represented on television.
ConStar's Pilot Watch: Cristela
Cristela started off a bit rough, but pleasantly surprised me in the end. A solid show featuring a funny Latino family with an opportunity to break stereotypes along the way.

Is Black-ish the new Cosby Show? I’m not so sure, but there’s certainly potential. Also, Tracee Ellis Ross kills it.
