I’ve hooked Sara on PUSHING DAISIES, so I get to enjoy it all over again. It’s Amelie-level visually stunning, with crisp, defined edges at odds with the moral ambiguity and inner conflict so painful it’s funny. Ned learned, when he was a boy, that if he touched a dead thing, it came back to life. If he touched it again, it died forever. If he didn’t touch it again within a minute, something else would die in its place. Or someone else. A private detective learns his secret and makes him touch murder victims to ask them who killed them, then the detective can collect the reward for finding the killer. But, when a murder victim turns out to be Ned’s childhood sweetheart, he can’t let her die again, so he has to live with the death of the man who died in her place AND his inability to ever touch her again.
There’s so much more to the baroque interpersonal relationships and how they interweave and affect the story arcs of everybody concerned.
Not for everyone, but definitely for me. And for Sara. And for my late mother, with whom I watched it in the first place.
My nails this week are dark purple-y brown and silvery-purpley-brown, stamped with the opposite color.

Cool nails. I think I like it when you have an odd man out nail in the bunch.
