Pushing Daisies is TV you need to see

Have you seen this show Pushing Daisies? When I visited Ludwig at Chris Grant's house back in February, he talked about this show, but I never got a chance to get into it. Netflix just dropped it off at my house and man, this is a great show. It has the tension of a love interest, which I'm usually not a fan of, but this time around it feels real and not manufactured. The fact that they can't touch each other ever adds a new dynamic to it.

Basically, for those of you not in the know, the main character, Ned, has a unique ability. Anything dead that he touches, comes back to life. But, there's a consequence. If that thing is alive longer than a minute, then something else has to go. Once he touches something once and brings it back to life, touching it again terminates it. Therein lies the problem with Ned and his love interest, Chuck. See, she was killed on a cruise and he brought her back to life. I won't ruin any more of it, except to say that it is some of the most beautifully shot stuff I've ever seen. Suffice to say, you should check it out.
