|
A man (Pace) named Ned has the ability to bring the dead back to life. The catch is, it's only for one minute, if they are alive longer than a minute someone must die in their place, he also can't touch someone he saves again or they will die and he can't save them again. He discovers this when he's ten years old and he saves his mother after brain hemorrhages. The result is, his next door neighbor dies, unfortunately, his daughter is the girl Ned dreams about. Later that night when his mother tucks him in she kisses his forehead and dies. The girl, Chuck, now lives with her aunts and Ned is sent to boarding school by his father. Many years later, Ned owns a pie shop because his "gift" allows him to re ripen rotten fruit. He also helps a PI with cases because he can ask murder victims about who killed them. One day, on the news it's announced that a reward has been set on information about the murder of a tourist, and rewards being the Emerson's (the PI) only motivation the two of them get involved in the case and soon Ned finds out that the dead girl is Charlotte Charles, the girl he called Chuck.

From the creator of one of my all time favorite shows DEAD LIKE ME, Bryan Fuller returned to TV last year with his new show PUSHING DAISIES that much like the aforementioned show revolves heavily around the drama that is life and death. The show stars LEE PACE (whom was also in one of my favorite movies of this THE FALL) as NED whom since he was a little boy has had a strange gift that allows him to bring people back from the dead. Although bringing back the dead does not come without it's consequences as if he brings back the dea for more than a minute then someone else will take their place, oh and as well he can;t touch the ones he brings back or else they go back to deaths door.
The show I must say is brilliant, from the colorful sets to the narration to all the characters and their interactions I found myself rewatching the first season on DVD as if I had never seen the episodes before and that is the great thing about this show is it is so different and freach compared to most of the other shows out there that even repeats feel like a new treat. |
