In the golden era of television, some shows shine brightly but burn out far too quickly. Few series exemplify this phenomenon better than Pushing Daisies . Created by Bryan Fuller, this forensic fairy tale captivated audiences in 2007 with its whimsical visual style, sharp wit, and a romance that was literally to die for.
Start with The CW app. If it isn't there, go to Kanopy. If you strike out, bite the bullet and use a free trial.
Let’s slice into it. Before we tell you where to find it, let’s discuss the why . Pushing Daisies follows Ned (Lee Pace), a lonely pie-maker with a peculiar gift. With a single touch, he can bring dead things back to life. A second touch, however, makes them dead forever—permanently. There is one catch: if he keeps someone alive for more than 60 seconds, something else of equal or greater life force nearby must drop dead.
Check your local library’s Kanopy/Hoopla access or The CW’s free app first. Avoid sketchy websites. And bring tissues. The pies look delicious, but the ending of Season 1 will leave you craving more. Have you found a legal spot to watch the Pie Maker's adventures for free? Check the comments (or just re-check the library). Happy viewing.
