That sweet TV series where the pie baker could bring people back to life and he used that power to solve crimes?
Meet iZombie on Netflix, where a pretty young medical student becomes a zombie. When she eats brains, from the morgue, she sees what the dead saw, so she uses it to solve crime.

It's not just on Netflix. It's also on the CW. --Bob

It's based (extremely loosely, almost to the point of the title only and the fact that the main character is a zombie - they even changed her name in the TV show) upon a Vertigo Comics series (DC owns them, hence the CW connection). I saw the pilot and some snippets of a few other episodes, but haven't been inclined to tape it, and the local cable doesn't do "on-demand" for CW shows.
It's interesting, the star's kind of cute in a strange kind of way, but it seems to borrow a lot from other shows, not just the "Pushing Daises" angle. Other than the zombie hook, it's basically another procedural show. I might as well be watching "Quincy, ME" (and he's not cute in any sort of way!)

Wasn't tempted to give this one a try...I'm still not, actually. I DID love Pushing Daisies...have both seasons on DVD...I don't get the impression that this show has the same air of whimsy and sweet silliness in the face of all the serious stuff happening that attracted me to Daisies...

It also has, I assume, no Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Chi McBride, Ellen Greene, Swoosie Kurtz nor Kristin Chenoweth.

It does not, It has a comic book feel, not a horror movie feel.
One Halloween I went out as The Piemaker, pretty easy costume
