Crazy Ex-Girlfriend just had an ambitious time hop episode, but one of the warmest and most surprising developments came from a few choice scenes with Valencia. Those scenes showed just how far she's come as a character—and just how far we've come for representation.

Instead of a staid presentation and screenings, Freeform (formerly ABC Family) hosted the first ever Freeform Summit, a night of conversation between leading voices—not just from the network, but from social media and the industry in general.

It has been refreshing seeing the show tackle issue like street harassment, gentrification and explore alternative sexual/romantic relationships. Insecure tackled it this season with Molly and her childhood friend turned bae, Dro.

First of all, if you haven't been watching Jane the Virgin, you're in luck, because Netflix has the first three seasons up, so you can scoot over there. Jane has never strayed away dealing with complicated issues from abortion, mental health, illegal/legal immigration, and the general hardships of being a young mother.
