"This is the story of a man with the ability to bring things back to life.
It all began in the town of Coeur d'Coeurs, when he was just a boy.
Ned was in love with the girl next door.
And discovered his extraordinary talent,
In the most unusual way.
It was a gift that came with a caveat:
First touch, life;
Second touch, dead for ever.
Nineteen years later,
Young Ned secret become a secret no more,
And the private investigator proposes his partnership
...
Until one murder changes everything.
Like a prince charming, Ned brings the love of his live back.
But the second touch will take her for ever ..."

Ophélie & Benjamin presented to us Pushing Daisies.
It is an Americain series created by Bryan Fuller that aired on ABC.
Touted as a "forensic fairy tale", Pushing daisies tells the story of Ned (Lee Pace), a pie-maker with the ability to bring things back to life. He also colobarates with a private investigator (Chi McBride). His ability enables him to de-rot his fruits when he's cooking a pie and to interogate the victims of murder by bringing them back to life during one minute.

My impression when I first watched this series is that the series is very colorful, the decors seem very enchanted like the Tim Burton movie 'Big Fish'. This enchantment is also caused by the voice of Jim Dale, the narrator, as we can see in the video (It's not surprising that this man worked on Harry Potter). And I liked these surprising murders, because it's not a serious series. But I think this series is too romantic for geeks like us, moments where the actors sing and when they show us the impossible love between Ned and Chuck (Anna Friel) are not our cup of tea. Thus I think Pushing Daisies is a great series for girls like Ophélie because it's too much focused on the impossible love story. But for the others I'd advice to only watch few episodes for the fairy atmosphere but not the entire season because the story line it's not really interesting for what I've seen.
