When I first checked this out, I thought how interesting could a series be on a funeral home? Well it was indeed interesting! And more than that – innovative, funny (often in a dark way), and with very real life characters. Seldom have I watched a series where I became so immersed in each character, who are all so different and genuine.This series is not for everyone. If you want action, car chases, and explosions look elsewhere. If you want an arc of personality change and development this will definitely appeal – everyone felt so very real. Sure I got tired of the on-again and off- again relationships of Nat and Brenda, and of David and Keith – but still each episode kept me so captivated. The dialogue is witty and way above average. Its' a gigantic soap opera that enraptured me with its brilliant assortment of personalities.The writers, producers, directors and especially the actors pulled me beyond expectation into the universe of this story!

i guess i never cry and laugh and cry and feel so much with this series... i understook so much nate after lisa's death and claire, and of course the rest... but those two express so much deep emotions that it was real heartbreaking... i just could feel it all... so deep... i guess many of the characters are us and different ways and levels... makes us think so much about life and not to waste it in stupid fights and crappy thoughts.. so if u are a deep person and like and understand drama,this show is for u!

I finished watching ''Six feet Under'' about 5 months ago but I still think leaving my review here is essential for me as my way of thanking the creators and maybe even getting other people to watch it. This TV show completely changed my point of view regarding life and its different aspects. I've watched a lot of TV shows throughout my life but I have never experienced the same thing in any other show. Once you are introduced to the characters in the pilot you are thrown into ''the journey of life'' I like to call it. Once you are in there you just can't stop. I felt like i'm a part of the characters's life while watching this TV show, I laughed with them, cried with them, felt happy with them. The show provided me with insight regarding life and after finishing it I felt like a different person. There hasn't been one week without me re-watching the finale scene which was in my opinion the best ending the creators could choose as a way of ending our journey with the characters. I hope you enjoyed reading this and to those of you who haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend to do so.

Why? Because, it illuminates the difficulties in relationships and dealing with death. The Wire and The Sopranos don't reach that level. Breaking Bad comes close. The Wire is a great investigation of modern American society and The Sopranos is a modern The Prince and Macbeth, wrapped into one. Breaking Bad takes The Sopranos theme to a new level with a re-vamped style. Yet, SFU remains, first of all. different than all other shows concerning style and, second, an incredibly insightful perspective on relationships and death, which are two very difficult issues. At the same time, insightful concerning the status of American culture. Some camera work and directing could be better, but hell, given enough money they would have blown everything out of the water.
