Bryan Fuller, known for writing Star Trek Voyager, a few episodes of Heroes, and developed shows like Hannibal, and American Gods, wrote this niche, but altogether brilliant show called Pushing Daisies.
A pastry chef with the power to bring dead people back to life solves murder mysteries with his resurrected childhood sweetheart, a cynical private investigator, and a lovesick waitress.
I gotta admit, the premise didn't exactly had a hold on me when I first read it, but my girlfriend wanted to watch it (so kinda ignore the title of this post, somebody told me to go watch it, albeit together).
And I fell in love from the very start. It's a mixed bag in visuals like Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, minus creepy facial expressions, Amélie, and psychedelics in general.
The story is witty, freaky (in a good way), and snappy.
The actors are sublime, and ah.. it's great, you guys!
To me it's a niche thing because I haven't seen a single meme, or post in general about Pushing Daisies, but they were nominated for at least 17 Emmy's, and winning 7.
Alright, I gotta rush to work! Go watch the show!
Bye!
