This show truly had potential.
It is the brain child of Bryan Fuller, the creative force behind such gems as Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls.
It sports a very interesting basic idea and should have made for a wonderfully whimsical show.
But sadly it was not to be. Instead of rising like a soufflé, Pushing Daisies is so overloaded with empty pseudo-artistic gestures, it falls down to the earth like a heavy, hard to digest concoction.
The overload starts of course with the unbearably obnoxious narration, but does not stop there. As I read elsewhere, it's as if the creators were so obsessed to be seen as creative they forgot how to be creative.
It's especially sad as Bryan Fuller is a great talent and deserves for one of his good shows to success.
Unfortunately, Pushing Daisies is not that show.
