Joan of Arcadia (2003-2005) is better than any show I’ve watched in the past, and I’ve watched quite a few.

It’s basically about this high school girl called Joan who’s older brother Kevin is involved in a car accident that makes him permanently in a wheelchair. The entire family’s life starts getting worse since that day, with Joan and her younger brother Luke still in high school.

In the pilot episode Joan starts getting private visits from God, who assigns her different tasks every episode that don’t make any sense to her, but there’s always a reason behind it which she often realises too late.

The episodes also show Joan’s father’s job as the chief of police, as well as Joan’s brother Kevin’s journey to get back to his normal lifestyle now in a wheelchair.

The first 6 or so episodes follow a similar structure, but after that it starts getting a lot more interesting.

The show unfortunately got cancelled after season 2, but all episodes are free on YouTube.
