Joan of Arcadia (2003–2005)
10/10
Emotionally powerful show left me wanting more
21 September 2006
Accidentally began watching this silly "God Show" at 2 A.M. one Friday night in February 2005 when regular CBS 8 P.M. broadcast was preempted by sports event. Was more than pleasantly surprised by the depth and character of this show that focused on teenagers, and centered on emotions. Kind of like a cross between MASH and Twilight Zone, with U2 lyrics peppered in between; this show was meant for everyone. Most episodes pack some kind of emotional wallop. Disappointed when only a few weeks after I began watching, the show was canceled. I later purchased the first season DVDs. Shockingly well-written, episode 12 "Jump" is one of the 10 best episodes of television ever broadcast.
