Profile of Joan of Arcadia
Joan of Arcadia can be described as bittersweet, offbeat, and sentimental. The plot revolves around high school life, supernatural abilities, and coming of age. The main genres are drama and fantasy. In terms of style, Joan of Arcadia is surreal and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is serious. It is set, at least in part, at a high school and in a small town. Joan of Arcadia takes place in contemporary times. The TV show has received attention for being an award winner. It is well suited for a girls' night and teens.
Summary of Joan of Arcadia
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.
