With all the preair critical praise I had heard about this new fall show - it’s like the biggest and most anticipated series of the new season - my standards and expectations for the pilot episode were very high. And well, truth be told, I was absolutely not let down since the pilot was freakin’ fantastic! The show is narrated by the use of a voiceover (nothing original about that I concede) but not your typical Meredith-like voiceover, but more like a voice reminding a fairy tale. And that’s exactly what the show itself is: a complete fairytale, from top to bottom. From the so-unusual-in-television setting, places and design to the magical gift given to the main character at his birth (he can bring people back from the dead by touching them). And all in all, the entire show looks like the latest Tim Burton movie, with this special touch so reminiscent of the famous director. Actually, Pushing Daisies doesn’t even look like it’s television, it really does look like a fantasticquese movie, and a really good one at that!Anyway, the story unfolded rather nicely in the pilot episode with this nice impossible romance and love story between Ned and Charlotte. Can two people really love each other and establish a relationship without ever touching one another? I guess that’s the main theme of the show and the question that will eventually be answered (or not) with, as a background, all the crime resolving cases. Can’t wait to see more, I’m already hooked! A+
