Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

When I first saw the commercials for this, I thought, what the hell, it sounds offbeat, think I'll watch it. I'm so glad I did! In a world that gives us shows about people stranded together on islands or ones that make us suffer through months of horrible singers until we get a full episode of talent, they FINALLY came out with a show that was quirky, original and captivating! I loved it so much, I recorded every episode to my DVR and still watch them! I'm sorry that it didn't last very long. But then again, the good shows never do. If you really want a fun show to lose yourself in, this is what you need to watch!

When Pushing Daisies was on, it always made my day. I just loved how funny, quirky and clever it was. So I was saddened when it ended as abruptly as it did, it may have had a rocky start however it did get much better very quickly and had even more time to progress if given the chance.I loved Pushing Daisies for several reasons. With skillful photography and striking clothes, lighting and sets, the visuals were constantly very colourful. The music had a lot of charm and quirkiness about it too, the writing was witty and engaging and the stories were clever with an original and imaginative concept. The characters were always fanciful and likable, Jim Dale's narration was sardonic and beautifully delivered, Kristen Chenoweth brightened up every scene she appeared in as did a fair number of those who guested on the show and Lee Pace and Anna Friel were very endearing in their own way.In conclusion, a gem that ended too soon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

"Pushing Daisies" was a marvelously original show--so much so that it had to fail. After all, good television is like the sentiment 'no good deed goes unpunished'! And, like a wonderful show, it manages to start off with a real bang--with an episode that keeps you wanting more.Apparently, the idea for "Pushing Daisies" was originally a plot idea for "Dead Like Me"--another show so good that it quickly failed. In the show, they had planned to have the reapers learn that some of their victims had mysteriously returned to life--the result of a guy with magical life-giving powers. Well, the idea was re-tooled for this ABC series and was done independently of "Dead Like Me". However, unlike "Dead Like Me" the atmosphere, costumes and set design had a much more other-worldly appearance--like it was filmed in a magical fictional land--full of LOTS of primary and secondary colors! I could try to explain the series, but frankly it defies explanations. Plus, IMDb has a summary. Instead, lets' focus specifically on what they got right...other than everything (which is true but a bit vague). The characters are exquisitely written and easy to love...very easy to love. The dialog is even better--very, very snappy, intelligently written and clever. And the plots generally very good--specifically so in this pilot. In this case the entire lore of Ned's magical powers is explained as well as the set-up for the series--his partner Emerson (my favorite character), how he accidentally brought Chuck (a girl) back to life as well as his strange but lovable employee (Olive).

By introduction, this series is glaringly cinematic, with Fuller applying a Beattyesque (Dick Tracy) style to its composition – garishly strong colours, simple and immediately recognisable "bad" people and benign, yet irritating, lead characters (apart from Emerson Cod).However, what, potentially, was a brilliant concept for a TV series, was produced as a wanton flagrant waste and while I appreciate the originality of the visual, it really is just a rip-off of other, more successful, artists, replacing solid characters with hollow mannequins and witty repartee with vacuous dialogue that chafes the intellect and exacerbates the senses.It really was a huge disappointment.
