Pushing Daisies
life. death. and life again.
Created by Bryan Fuller
On ABC
A whimsical, visually sumptuous fairy tale about love and loss wrapped in a murder-of-the-week procedural, where surrealism and dark comedy soften the weight of death itself.
A pie-maker, with the power to bring dead people back to life, solves murder mysteries with his alive-again childhood sweetheart, a cynical private investigator, and a lovesick waitress.
