My friend Veronica recently introduced me to this show. Touted as a "forensic fairy tale", the series is known for its unique visual style, quirky characters, and fast-paced dialogue.(Wiki) The story follows Ned, a pie shop owner who can bring the dead back to life. It is also about his romance with his childhood sweetheart- who he cannot touch, or she will be dead, again. I know, sounds weird, and it is. But, it is quite clean, and funny, and has some charming, though very odd characters, and some great quotes.
Here are a few of my favs:
Olive: Wouldn't it just be rock 'n roll if liking someone meant they had to like you back? 'Course that would be a different universe and something else would probably suck.
Chuck: I can’t even hug you? What if you need a hug? A hug can turn your day around.
Ned: I’m not a big fan of the hug,
Chuck: Then you haven’t been hugged properly. It’s like an emotional Heimlich.
Ned: I’m not a big fan of the hug,
Chuck: Then you haven’t been hugged properly. It’s like an emotional Heimlich.
Ned: Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal. Highway or side streets. Kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness. It’s the best anyone can do.
