It's consistently whimsical, with no darkness or violence. It was unfortunately cut short after (I believe) 2 seasons due the writer's strike of whatever year that was. I believe Fuller wrote some follow-up comics to continue the story, but I've never read them.

Here's a nice quote from the original Pushing Daisies thread in this forum: You know what? Behind this elaborate premise, whimsical presentation and quirky sensibilty is a complicated set-up for something very simple and basic that hasn't been explored much on TV (or, really, in entertainment as a whole) for a long time: the opportunity to explore classic romantic and platonic love. Having two lovers who can never experience each other physically is possibly the most refreshing concept possible to explore in a medium which has become so obsessed with sexuality and instant gratification that it's forgotten what a real love story is.
Make no mistake, that's what "Pushing Daisies" is really about, and I, for one, welcome it!

Much appreciated, EDE. My thanks to Lardy, as well. (I know you're never far away, Lardy.)

Ah, Pushing Daisies! So short-lived, yet so beautiful! Apparently, it's available on Max, one of the streaming services I don't have.

I don't have Max, either, Lardy.
Streaming -- a necessary evil, or an irritant that it's still not too late to deal with?

Right now I'm paying 10 bucks a month for BritBox, and over a hundred a month for my satellite tv. Considering I watch the former at least as much as alll of the channels on the latter put together, it's really puzzling to me why I keep paying for the latter.

I'm bingeing My Adventures with Superman. I adore this show. It pulls the PZH Legionnaires vibes REALLY hard and in the best way. SUPERHEROES CAN BE FUN, DAMMIT AND NOT DARK ALL THE TIME! Now I just want to see the Legion in this show.

I've heard good things about that. Not on a streaming service I currently use but will definitely check it out sometime.
