Synopsis

Pushing Daisies (2007), Season 1 — watch online on iFILM: nine episodes of Bryan Fuller's candy-colored fantasy procedural. Ned, a small-town pie-maker, can wake the dead with a single touch.

There's a catch, and then another. A second touch puts them down for good, and if a revived person stays up past one minute, someone else nearby drops dead in their place. Ned turns the gift into a side business, briefly reviving murder victims to ask who killed them and splitting the reward with hard-nosed PI Emerson Cody. Then he wakes his childhood sweetheart, Chuck, and decides never to touch her again. So they fall in love and can't make contact. The cases pile up — a jockey, a polygamist, a smell expert, insurance agents — while waitress Olive pines for Ned and edges toward the truth.

It plays like a storybook: saturated color, an arch narrator, sweetness laced with the morbid. The writers' strike cut the run short, yet this first season set the whole tone. Stream Pushing Daisies Season 1 online on iFILM.
