Pushing Daisies Burrows Deep

Cake or death?

Cake or death?

After reading io9’s persuasive pitch for Pushing Daisies, I downloaded the first season of the undeservedly underrated TV show.

What I had originally assumed was just a gooey, flower-frilled sitcom is actually one of the most cleverly quirky yet cutely macabre shows on television. Pushing Daisies is the love child of Roald Dahl and Tim Burton—but with pies and morgues and cartoonishly saccharine characters.

Having now watched the first four episodes I can say this: WATCH PUSHING DAISIES NOW.
