DagRos I have seen all major TV series: Sopranos, Wire, Breaking Bad, Games of Thrones, Mad Men, Downton Abbey etc etc etc.. and this is the best show of them all without hesitation. This is an excellent drama about relationships, family, life and death. After having watched this series you will be a slightly different and better person. Don't miss this great opportunity! Don't be held back that this is an older series, invest your time and you will be greatly rewarded for doing so.Everything else about this series has been said in the reviews below. This is my first review on IMDB and I just felt I needed to post one after having watched this series, and hopefully bring some more attention to this fantastic masterpiece.Put this on the top of your list and start watching asap !
nate-car The perfect show from start to finish. Not a bad episode, not a slow season, the most talented cast, music, direction. Clever, heartfelt, adult, never missed a beat from the first episode to the black screen
swapnildjagtap In the beginning it appears as if the series is slow and nothing is happening.But as you go forward and understand the characters, you start appreciating the pace and simplicity. I have become fan of Allan Ball after watching this series.He has created a master piece out of this series and has set up a bench mark for this genre.Can you create quality drama out of common ordinary person's life? Yes absolutely, you don't always require Kings and war neither assassins nor any criminal to chase.How life goes through ups and downs and how it changes by small small events is perfectly shown over the five seasons. The characters are slowly but superbly built as if you almost know each and every person in the show personally.It tries to explain meaning of life , and what motivates human to act. What and why emotions occur like fear, grief,excitement,jealousy,embarrassment, happiness,feel of death.It tries to go under the skin. Series finale the conclusion is one of the best and most disturbing yet satisfying.Just watch this series completely don't leave it in midways. Have patience and your dividends will be paid in full.
mpurvismattp HBO has one so many great projects. From comedy to drama, documentaries etc. and yet I still believe this is the best thing they have ever produced. That doesn't mean that what they are making currently isn't of excellent quality, it just speaks of the rarified air that this series touches and manages to stay aloft in. It's about a family run funeral home which may sound depressing or sad, and it can be at times.Yet the bright side of life can also be seen, the funny side, the curious side and all the other sides of life we experience. Six Feet Under is amazing, inspiring, tragic and deep and it's just something you should watch for yourself because it will bring you joy and I truly believe that. Beautifully crafted television, beautiful work of art.
