This show is stunningly good. The acting is great, the directing great, sound, visuals, sets, story etc it is all great. I can really only think of two negatives. The first being the son Kevin (Jason Ritter) that was written to whiny boohooing in the first 4-5 episodes and I also got the feeling that Jason was the least competent of the actors, but both Jason and the writing got better as the episodes pass by. The second negative is the ending episode and the end of the show which really was not that greatly done and this show deserved so much more and I would say deserve at least two more seasons.
The great is all the rest. I especially like how God is not only teaching Joan but also us in the audience. Well, not "teaching" as much as asking questions about morality, physics, religion and philosophy. This show is also wholesome family drama that do not shy away from difficult topics but also do not Hollywood linger on them for effect and gore. Topics like teenage pregnancy, sex, rape, murder, death, religion and homosexuality is brought up and discussed without being too much preachy and not with too much political correctness. This show feels real and down to earth, which is weird since God is a key player. And who can forget the main music score?
This is a real gem of a show and I highly recommend to everyone. And those of you growing up today with all the dumb shows this is what great TV used to look and sound like. I also think there is great potential to remake or continue with the show. Perhaps Joan has her own children? Or we can start with another city and another set of characters.
A slightly week 9/10 since there are 2-3 episodes that feels unnecessary or as fillers, but excluding that and my objections above this is as good as TV get and you should all watch this greatness.
