I heard about the show a while ago, a girl who talked to God and I didn't rush to catch it. What a mistake.
After catching the reruns of season one on E4 I've fallen in love with Joan Of Arcadia, its easing my Buffy withdrawl. Bottom line: watch it on E4, if you like it: buy it.
It truly is a great show.

This may come across as a typical American drama. Push past the streotypes and you will find a real gem of a series. A little God, mixed up with comedy and science. There is no preaching just life and choices. The basis for the series rings true. The characters are complex but aren't we all. If God was around who would believe the person who was talking to him, is this not a sad reflection on society, even for the non-religious. I find the programme to be uplifting, it makes you look around the world and the difference you can make to it; the domino principal. Enjoy..

The best written and acted tv series since Angel and Buffy
15 Mar 2005
This was one of the finest television series on the air. The writing was superb, the characters were believable, and the storylines were to die for.
If you loved the Touched by an Angel series, you will enjoy this one.
The main character, a high school girl named Joan talks to God all day every day as she sorts through the pains of growing up. What I love about this show is that God appears as every single race, color, creed and religion - from a middle aged chess player to a Gothic punk rocker. Joan never knows what God will look like, but has blind faith God is always there.
I also love that she does not always appreciate the advice she is given and gets annoyed with God from time to time. I can relate to not liking the answer I get to my prayers. I don't always get what I ask for. But I always get what I need. Just like Joan.

Currently, one of the best shows on TV
21 Feb 2005
This show is certainly different from what we see on TV. The formula may be typical, but the approach to this theme is very original. Although it deals with Joan (Amber Tamblyn) talking to God, not everything is sweet and pink. Tragedy occurs, her family has to live with many ordeals in order to stay togethes. She can even be considered insane at some point because "talking" to God does not provide alla the answers needed. I fact sometimes it's confusing. The acting is very good, and the story very promising, so it's not a surprise that it has been a very popular show when TV is being ambushed by "reality" shows. I think Joan of Arcadia is here for the long run so if you haven't seen it, this is your chance to enjoy a very good show, and if you already see it, you can certainly enjoy them again.
I can't rate the contents of the DVD yet but I hope it's full of extras!

Joan of Arcadia, sophisticated, witty,
21 Feb 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase
An entirely believable 16 year old girl with an entirely believable family, warts and all. The program handles complexity with great sophistication, often letting complex issues stay unresolved, forcing the viewer to reach her/his own conclusions. Manages to be spiritual without being theological; avoids confusing religion with spirituality. A definite viewpoint about God is here, without any attempt to proselytize. The best program I have ever watched dealing with spirituality. All the main characters are fine actors and the interactions with Joan's family and friends are witty, occasionally sad, always asking profound questions.
