Ned possesses a rare gift -- the ability to restore life to the dead -- with a touch. He puts his power to good use, helping an investigator solve murders by reviving the victim and asking the deceased to name the killer. Complications arise when Ned brings his childhood sweetheart, Chuck, back from the dead with the intention of keeping her alive. There's just one snag: If Ned ever touches Chuck again, she goes back to being dead, for keeps.

Genevieve Koski AV Club I am disappointed that such a creative series couldn't go out in a less banal way-but I get it. I accept it. Acceptance: the final stage of grief. Goodbye Daisies. Rated: B Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe I admire this show - it's so original, and sequences such as the "Sound of Music" goof are right on. But I admire it more than I enjoy it. I find it hard to care about the emotional storylines, any more than I might care about, oh, Daffy Duck. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly I am freshly impressed with Pushing Daisies' persistent, admirable inventiveness. Rated: B Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Sarah Carlson Pajiba I find it difficult to write about "Daisies" because it's just hard to quantify. Saying it is cute and funny and sweet isn't enough and probably makes it sound less-than-appealing to many readers. It's just good. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Diana Nguyen Refinery29 The minute I watched Kristin deliver one of many long, convoluted monologues, I was hooked. Not gonna lie: The morbid subject matter, visual eye candy, and the handsome Lee Pace only helped to feed the addiction. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Dan Casey Nerdist With great power comes great responsibility, and with a great premise came a great TV show full of a wonderful ensemble cast, oddball humor, and delicious-looking pies.

tom m Some nice fun. A quality production. I enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the narration by Jim Dale ... it was the cherry on top of a delightful show. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review icy m Stylized, stylish, and quirky. So much work & detail goes into every episode. I still think about this show 15 years later. So sad it got cancelled. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Following such a fantastic first season as this show had could have been a challenge but season two was just as good as season one and I loved every second.
