Six Feet Under Review Summary
Six Feet Under is a macabre series originally airing on HBO on Sunday nights. Staring Peter Krause, Freddy Rodriquez, Lauren Ambrose, Rachel Griffiths and Frances Conroy, Six Feet Under explores the lives of the Fisher family as they struggle with life and death in the Funeral Home business. "Every episode starts with someone dying and from there it goes through the process of going to a funeral home and making all the arrangements through to the viewing" Taking place at Fisher and Sons Funeral Home in L.A, the family struggles with the death of their patriarch and the ups and downs of everyday life. Reviewers say it "ranks up there with the Sopranos and Oz, but a little more bizarre." due to the dark humor and running converestions with the deceased. Also, "There is a tremendous use of the F-word, and because it's about a family of morticians, some of the scenes of dead bodies are graphic", making it a show for adult audiences. Death and dying provide the framework for every day struggles with life and often illuminates the the families current situation. Reviewers agree that, in spite of and perhaps because of its unique take on life by concentrating on death, "This series is gripping and leaves you wanting more".. Six Feet Under is currently available on DVD and has been broadcast in syndication on cable.

It seems all the great tv shows have been made for the premium channels that I just don't subscribe to. I'm beginning to think that I really should. I discovered this show last year while going thru movies to add to my queue to rent.
Although the title seems to be a bit morbid, you shouldn't judge a movie by its cover. I started watching it and ended up not only getting sucked in, but completely hooked! My husband is even hooked too and we've been watching it together. Even staying up as late as 2 and 3 am to "see what happens next".
There's only one episode that comes to mind that was...

I started watching Six Feet Under a few weeks ago, and I am now half-way through the third season. This show has so many twists and turns you can't help but watch. Each character is dealing with different issues which keeps me captivated. The problems they deal with are realistic. The setting, however, is in a funeral home, so it is kind of morbid at times. It definitely makes you look at death in a whole new light.
Six Feet Under keeps you on your toes and wishing for more! I loved this series and they did a wonderful job of summing it up at the end. A must see series!
I did not like the show Six Feet Under. I would groan every Sunday night when my husband would switch it on. He loved it while I did not. I thought there were too many sex scenes and too many vulgar words. Every time you would look up at the screen someone was having sex. Don't forget the use of drugs. I also hated how they kept seeing their dead father. He would pop up all the time. I just found the entire series to be utterly ridiculous but like I said my husband was a huge fan.
