About this product

Product Information

From a young age, Ned demonstrated a remarkable ability for raising the dead with a single touch. The only drawback to this seemingly miraculous gift is that a second touch from him would render them permanently dead. When a private investigator spots Ned's peculiar talent, he enlists him to help solve murder cases by reviving the victims just long enough for them to indentify their killer. An ingenious plan, you might think. But what happens when one of the deceased is your childhood sweetheart and you are faced with the ultimate moral dilemma: let the victim rest in peace after they've given evidence, or keep them alive indefinitely in the name of love? <BR>Series creator Bryan Fuller (DEAD LIKE ME) indulges his taste for the macabre in a comic fantasy that not only challenges our own sense of mortality, but makes us laugh in doing so. With its hyper-real visuals, PUSHING DAISIES bears a striking resemblance to films like BIG FISH, AMELIE, and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, though in this case, the bright, saturated colours and exaggerated camera angles belie the show's dark humour. This release contains every episode from the debut series.

ReviewsNew York Times - Sweetly odd, but also oddly charming, Hollywood Reporter - The series, from creators Bryan Fuller and Barry Sonnenfeld, is a masterful mixture of life, romance, optimism and youthful exuberance, all played out under the threat of instant death, USA Today - Solid gold from top to bottom, the cast is almost an embarrassment of riches, TV Guide - This Technicolored kaleidoscope fable of life, love and perpetual whimsy restores my faith in TV's ability to amuse, enchant and entertain with endless invention and eye-popping style, New Yorker - PUSHING DAISIES is as peculiar a creation as you're going to see this year... It's one of the few distinctive shows of the fall season, Los Angeles Times - It is all very beautiful, Heat - Dazzling, Boston Globe - PUSHING DAISIES is good, as well as distinctive, Variety - Standing head and shoulders above this fall's other seedlings, Chicago Sun-Times - PUSHING DAISIES deserves its high praise. It's the best new drama of the fall, finding sweet hope in morbid tragedy
