Summary: the best series on television
Review: Other reviewers have said much about this show, so I will say only this: Six Feet Under is simply the BEST series on television. I have not seen better acting or better script writing (I sometimes think the scriptwriters deserve pulitzers!). Michael C. Hall, Lauren Ambrose, Frances Conroy, Peter Krause, Freddy Rodriguez and crew are great actors and their chemistry together is unmistakable and brilliant. I have never spent money so wisely as when I bought season 1 on dvd. My deepest wish is that seasons 2 and 3 appear soon on dvd, as I am a late comer.

Summary: Makes you laugh & makes you think...
Review: I was skeptical the first time I saw this show, but by the second episode I was hooked. The concept is brilliant and original, the writing deliciously realistic--despite the unconventional subject matter-- and the cast simply COULD NOT be improved upon. Each character plays their tragically human role magnificently and you'll almost certainly be able to relate to at least one of them. The range of issues tackled in the 1st series give the viewer much food for thought and may even serve to change your perception of life, death, and a number of the other things in between. Nothing I could write by way of a description would do justice to the show, so I'll leave it at that. If you're among the many who still haven't had the pleasure of seeing it then go for it. You won't be disappointed. This show is highly addictive ;)

Summary: Go Go HBO
Review: HBO has done it again. They always set out to entertain but this show is simply the best they have to offer. The character development in this show is the best I have ever seen. Each character has his/her own identity and they each draw you into their individual parts of the story.This is truly an amazing show. It is great because what would normally be censored by network television is allowed to run rampant in this series. The show follows the lives of a family whos chosen profession is in the death care industry. Each episode begins with a death. That death is recounted and dealt with accordingly throughout the span of the hour. I have honestly showed this 4-disc set to about 8 people. Each person who I have invloved in this journey has not been able to make it more than 3 days without spanning the entire 13 episodes. My Mother is the most recent victim and she swore she'd go out and buy it, even after having just watched it. What else can be said? This is very entertaining and WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!

Summary: trip out show
Review: like alot of people I was a bit put off with the concept of this show but upon watching it you can't help but peep it out.it has a true trip out element at the funeral family owned business.anything&everything goes with this family.in the Jerry Springer era this is the kind of show that truly represents that vibe&is even more twisted than Jerry on some levels.

Summary: Simply, Truly, Incomparable Entertainment!
Review: My first thought with respect to this show was "How morbid!" And yet, at some point, over time, I was willing to give it a go. Willing, if you will, to see what the buzz (which had yet to mature to resounding praise) was all about. To put it simply, this show will change you. It will ask your brain not to suppress (subconsciously) thoughts of death but to take a deep breath and look at it, to do the work you must do with it, to accept the inevitability, capriciousness, horror, tragedy, beauty, and simplicity of it. In doing so, the show heavily underscores the critical importance not only of living our lives fully but also living those lives with unapologetic passion. And that, I think, is what we see each of the characters struggling to do, whatever the particulars of their life circumstances. Whereas some shows give you a clear enough sense of "family drama," SFU delivers the very pulse of each character. The nail simply cannot be hit more squarely on the head. It is, indeed, a rare show good enough to make you plan your night around a new episode (or worry as to whether you have set your VCR to record). SFU foots the bill, time and again. Great TV, no commercials, all in the comfort of your own home. Does it get any better than that?

Summary: The Gay Mafia has taken control of HBO
Review: Really, prepare yourself for it, because you are going to get an eyeful. No penetration (yet! I've only seen 3 episodes), but plenty of full on frenching between men. Gross! I'd say the acting is very competent, but the writing takes this show on wild loops into spheres of total unreason and ridiculousness. I understand that the show calms down over time, which I'm looking forward to. 'The Foot' seemed especially unreal and gimmicky, although I'm intrigued by the ongoing battle with KSC, which is a satire of the very real and monstrously greedy Service Corporation International. They'll have their greedy hands on YOUR corpse once you finally choke.

Summary: TV at its finest
Review: I'm not an HBO subscriber. I didn't really know anything about "Six Feet Under," either. But it looked like a good show, so I bought the DVD set. I was blown away! From the very first moments of the pilot, I was hooked. The opening theme music is one of the best ever composed for a television series, and the opening credits are fascinating -- so much so that there's a featurette on the DVD just about the making of the opening credit sequence. Then there are the characters. These are not two-dimensional sitcom charicatures; they are very rounded, deep, complicated people. They actually seem like real people (and a LOT like my own family). Add the acting to that -- what a great cast! Every single principal actor on this show is terrific. As an ensemble, they equal more than the sum of their parts. That writing! These are well-crafted episodes. Each episode tells a couple of self-contained stories, but there's some serialism going on, too, which keeps you coming back for more. And direction... very fresh and stylized, not the standard TV dramedy fare. I'm gushing, I know. This is GOOD TV. OK, Nate and Brenda's constant cycle of blowing up and making up gets a little tiring, but that's really the only complaint that I have (other than the fact that Season 2 doesn't have a release date yet).

Summary: Character studies like no other
Review: HBO-less, I've been enthralled with the ideas behind Six Feet Under since it first began. I'd catch an episode at a hotel one night, another at a friends house, and each clearly hinted at the genius of the show and only made me want more. Finally, season one was released on dvd and over the course of three days, I watched every episode, enthralled. The show starts out interesting because of it's quirks but not quite there. Clearly, something is missing in the first few episodes. It keeps your interest because of it's uniqueness. No other show has ever explored death in quite the same way as Six Feet Under, and rarely have you seen the behind the scene workings of a funeral home. But this alone wouldn't sustain the show for long. Then, and few episodes in, something marvelous happens. The characters truely begin to reveal themselves to you, in all their glory. Each character is deeply troubled in many ways, and what else would you expect in a show that revolves around a death each week, but at the same time, you can relate to each and every one of them. The more out there characters, Brenda and her brother, are given real weight by the terrific actors portraying them. And while they may go to extremes, you can still see the feelings and the reasons at the core of what they're doing, keeping the whole show an experience that really touches you personally.
