Pushing Daisies

If Tim Burton took a lot of Prozac.

I can kind of respect its whimsy and quirkiness from a distance while not really wanting to sink into it. It's just so insanely twee, it kind of makes me gag like eating a spoonful of sugar. I like Bryan Fuller a lot better tempered by the violence and darkness of Hannibal.

Quirky and strange, sometimes it seems as if its trying a little too much, but its definitely original and well made.

ahhh my youth

T1 - 75. Criativo, Amélie total t2 - 80 - o ep do convento é demais

Even though S2 had a bit of a drop off in quality this quirky and charming show is one of my favorite short lived TV series. I wish it had gone on longer but perhaps two seasons was more than enough.

Charming show, those who liked The Good Place will like this and vice versa

I can see how this works for an audience (especially for its time) but I have an increasingly limited tolerance for whimsical quirkiness in service of nothing substantial. This derivative & somewhat niche romcom melodrama with a mildly macabre fairytale touch has a distinct charm but plays it too safe, missing its potential to push the weird in a way it implies. I could point to some awful CGI & dialogue but it doesn't seem to matter when the overall tone plays on such cold self-aware irony.

I love this show. Very unique concept, with a great case, that unfortunately got canceled too soon.
