I was quite looking forward to Pushing Up Daisies - there was a lot of advance publicity and it looked fun.

I watched the first episode aired on UK terrestrial on Saturday night and was very disappointed.  It seemed to me to be a commercialised rip-off of Amelie.

And where Amelie, and even to a certain extent Ally McBeal and My Name is Earl were fresh and natural, this seems confined and forced into a parody of the paradigm.

Even down to the omniscient narrator telling us how many years, days, hours and minutes ago things happened….

La vie n’est que l’interminable répétition d’une représentation qui n’aura jamais lieu.
