Anyone who has watched Pushing Daisies once would have to be blind and deaf not to see this series has purloined much of its creative energy and art direction from Mr. Fuller's creation. From the uncharacteristically (for BBC mysteries) Technicolor-esque palette to the twee narration, quirky characterizations and stylized re-enactment sequences, this borrows so heavily that it may as well be called theft. This is Miss Marple meets Bridget Jones (another franchise that should be burned to the ground)-leave poor Agatha Raisin out of it.
