Amazon.co.uk Review

Ignore the fact that ITV, bizarrely, decided to meddle with its UK transmission of Pushing Daisies by lopping out an entire episode. Instead, consider giving this box set a chance, which brings together every episode--fully in tact!--of one of the most interesting new shows to come out of the States.

The concept behind Pushing Daisies is quite simple, but unsurprisingly, it doesn’t take long before it gets more complicated. It follows Ned, a young man who discovers he can bring the dead back to life for a short period of time. Inevitably, he starts using his gift on humans, solving crime as he goes along. Yet things get far more troubled when he then brings the love of his life back from beyond the grave.

In lesser hands, Pushing Daisies could so easily have gone wrong. But in the mits of Bryan Fuller, the man who previously gave us the terrific Dead Like Me, it really does work. The concept gels exceptionally well--thanks also to a cast led by Lee Pace and Anna Friel--and it’s an unpredictable programme that you simply can’t help but enjoy. On the downside, this maiden series is just nine episodes long, and that’s a pity, but a promised second series--off the back of this first run--is a very welcome prospect. --Jon Foster

Synopsis

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?
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars And Now, for Something Completely Different, 16 Sep 2008

By	Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pushing Daisies - Complete Season 1 [Blu-ray] [2007] (Blu-ray)

This show is like nothing you have ever seen before. And that is a good thing.

It is the story of the Pie Maker aka Ned (Lee Pace). To the world, he is best known as the owner of The Pie Hole, where he serves delicious pies with his assistant/waitress, Olive (Kristen Chenoweth).

But Ned has a secret. With his touch, he can bring the dead back to life. Of course, there are some conditions. If he touches them again, they are dead for ever and ever. And if he doesn't touch them again in one minute, someone else nearby dies instead.

Since The Pie Hole doesn't pay all the bills, Ned works with private investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride). He brings murder victims back to life to find out who killed them, then the two split the reward.

Everything is going along fine until the next murder victim is the girl he calls Chuck, aka Charlotte Charles (Anna Friel). Chuck was Ned's childhood sweetheart, and he just can't bear to let her die, so he keeps her alive. While the two build a non-touch romance, Chuck's two aunts, Vivian and Lily (Ellen Greene and Swoosie Kurtz) mourn her death.

But Chuck's death is just the beginning of the weird cases. There are the human crash test dummies, the dog breeder with four wives, the bodies in the snowmen, and the exploding scratch and sniff book. And that doesn't even mention my favorite case, the headless horseman who is after Olive.

So by now I'm sure you've figured out just how weird this show really is. But it is so much fun, too. While it is a mystery, the mysteries are only a background to explore the relationships of the characters in the show. Each week, those relationships advance, grow, and change. You never know just where they will wind up.

And that's not to mention the look of the show. Every set and costume uses bright colors and vivid light. The show was made for HD, and I can't wait to watch it on my new HD-TV. Plus the make up on the dead bodies is outstanding. If they don't win some Emmys for make up, something is seriously wrong.

And I must admit, I love the show's humor. The lines come fast and furious with plenty of banter, especially between Ned and Chuck. Jim Dale is also in the cast as the omniscient narrator, and he adds his own touch to the show.

Yes, this show is quirky and odd. But please don't let that stop you. Get this set and give it a try. You'll be hook on the quirky before you know what hit you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling, 2 Mar 2009

By	Toni Virtanen (Riihim�ki, Finland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pushing Daisies - Complete Season 1 [DVD] [2007] (DVD)

This show is in one word unique. I've never seen anything quite like it.
It is at the same time hilarious and ironic, but it has a point all the way through! I really enjoy wathing it.

It's a shame that the box doesn't have any exstras, otherwise this is a magnificent product.

3.0 out of 5 stars bluray version, 8 Jan 2010

By	greenybeany - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pushing Daisies - Complete Season 1 [Blu-ray] [2007] (Blu-ray)

i brought this for the fact it was my first bluray disc and remember the series on tv being very brightly coloured and absolutly brilliant so i was looking to be blown away by the intense colours boy was i in for a big dissapointment the opening sequence was as bright as expected but when the actual story started i might as well have been watching a non hd tv and to add insult to injury after the end of a scene where it would have gone to advert it went to to a "pushing daises" sign spelt out on a hill then when it came to to do this again the screen went black then on to the next scene there has been no care taken with with the editing of this dvd and looks like it has been copied from the tv
