Anyone seen this yet? I'm not one to watch TV on a regular basis (outside of sports), but my wife taped this last week and it's probably the most original network show I've seen in a long time.

As a child, the main character finds out he can revive the dead with a touch, after touching his dog right after it was mauled by a Mack truck. He then discovers that he can revive not only animals but people as well. But there are consequences. If he revives a human, within 60 seconds someone else in the near vicinity must die in their place. And once he revives someone with a touch, he must not touch them again, or they will die a second time, this time forever.

Also, the narration and lighting/cinematography seem heavily influenced by Tim Burton.

I see a Burton influence as well.

I watched it last week and got a few laughs.
