      Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer It's also quite possible viewers will find "Pushing Daisies" too cutesy. You either have to buy into a far-fetched concept or the show will be lost on you. Cynics might find it hokey. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Charlie McCollum San Jose Mercury News "Daisies" is something you shouldn't miss, particularly if you're looking for something different on TV. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Troy Patterson Slate Charging confidently into a realm of mystical logic, the show quickly reaches a safe zone of fairy-tale coherence, proceeding to decorate that space according to an aesthetic informed by thrift-shop zaniness and Broadway-musical flights of fancy. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Sabienna Bowman TV Equals Pushing Daisies is happiness in a televisual form. Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine The key here is Friel's charming, unaffected performance: Chuck is glad to be alive, of course, but her true happiness is just to be in love. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Frances Grant New Zealand Herald This is a show to love or hate, depending on your threshold for whimsy. Some might find the script, packed with quirks, cute and charming. But I found it so contrived and convoluted, I started tuning out. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Julian K Literally my favorite show ever <3333 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review tom m Some nice fun. A quality production. I enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the narration by Jim Dale ... it was the cherry on top of a delightful show. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review icy m Stylized, stylish, and quirky. So much work & detail goes into every episode. I still think about this show 15 years later. So sad it got cancelled. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A great series to settle down to in the evening, very marathonable Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I always come to Pushing Daisies for comfy quirky fun on a lazy afternoon. The ensemble cast is wonderful. The set and costume designs are amazing and so weird. The mysteries themselves are not all that intriguing but the character development and overall story line is top notch. Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Kristin Chenoweth and the rest are all so charming. Definitely one of my favourite shows. I wish it hadn't ended so soon! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this show from start to finish, in fact it may be my favorite of all time and I am so sad that it only has two seasons. It really had it all, quirky and enjoyable characters, mystery, romance, and a sprinkling of musical numbers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
