    Movie synopsis

    A teenaged girl (Amber Tamblyn) finds herself approached week after week by all sorts of different people--each claiming to be God delivering instructions for her next mission. Joan's police chief father (Joe Mantegna of THE RAT PACK) and distracted mother (Oscar-winner Mary Steenburgen of MELVIN AND HOWARD) know nothing about their daughter's odd plight, nor do her siblings or classmates, and the girl grapples alone with what may be encroaching insanity as she fulfills her mysterious assignments. A surprisingly strong cast and interesting writing make this offbeat television series quite involving and absorbing. The entire first season (23 episodes) of this remarkable weekly drama appears in this compilation.

    I had only seen part of one or two episodes when Joan of Arcadia was on tv, but when a friend of mine offered to let us watch her Season One set, my family of 8 (ranging from age 17 - 70+) all would come from every corner of the house, or come home from whereever they were, in order to watch these incredibly well-written shows. Never did it talk down to anyone or insult the beliefs of any culture. Always sensitive to the subject matter, but never shying away from tramatic, life-changing situations. This is one of those fabulous programs that has comedy, love, heartache, soul-searching, every genre you can imagine. I can't say enough positive things about this show. I highly endorse it. I learned a lot, including about other faiths, and I deeply appreciate the courage everyone involved had in presenting it. I purchased it so that we can watch it over again, and to support those who made it, hoping they will continue to make programs of the same high calibre.
