Joan of Arcadia
Created by Barbara Hall
On CBS
A spiritual mystery-drama about a teenage girl receiving cryptic divine instructions, balancing faith, doubt, and the ordinary struggles of adolescence.
Joan Girardi has begun acting a little strange since her family moved to the city of Arcadia. No one knows that various people keep introducing themselves as God, and then giving the teenager specific directions to do things. Unsure of what God wants, and if she's even sane, Joan tentatively begins to follow God's cryptic directives, all the while trying to retain a "normal" teen-aged existence.
