"This is actually the first time I've heard of Joan of Arcadia. I will have to check it out."
I haven't watched Joan of Arcadia yet *puts it on list* but I've raved and raved about Friday Night Lights. On paper, it's not even slightly the sort of show I'd want to watch (American football? C'mon), but I was mesmerised. The treatment of disability and the nuanced examination of masculinities was amazingly well done. (Plus, Bechdel and Race!Bechdel all over the place.) I've no idea why it isn't deluged with critical acclaim and viewers/recommendation.
