Six Feet Under - The Complete First Season

Pros: Great cast, constantly moving storyline

Cons: Can be graphic at times, focus a little too strong on gay issues

The Bottom Line: Although it sometimes spends too much time on gay issues, this is a wonderful show about an offbeat family.

Review: I really love this show and have seen every episode except for most of the first one. It is about a family that runs a funeral home. In the first episode, the father dies and leaves the business to his sons. He leaves behind 2 sons, a teenage...

Pros: Endlessly inventive and amazingly well-acted.

Cons: Nothing worth mentioning here.

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation? SEE IT!!! If you don't like it within the first three or four episodes, you never will. If you do, you'll be hooked.

Review: NOTE: The bulk of the review below was written a couple of years ago, and only after seeing Season 1. Since that time, I've seen the whole show, and will provide an "update" to my thoughts at the very bottom. *********** Thank God for DVDs. We do ...

Pros: Visually, emotionally stimulating. Somehow entertains while depicting the realities of death and dying

Cons: Depicts the realities of death and dying.

The Bottom Line: Watching this show is a great, cathartic experience. Makes me laugh, cry and grieve all within the same hour.

Review: I just finished watching the season finale of the first season of Six Feet Under, an HBO original series. I have a medical background I’ve worked in hospital laboratories and I even watched an autopsy once, but I haven’t had much personal experience...

Pros: Wonderful odd(in a good way) plot line, cast is full of personality, Uncensored

Cons: May be too graphic for some, maybe difficult understand if starting from the middle

The Bottom Line: A wicked good series with enough dark humor to fill a casket. Ensemble cast work well together to make the characters and situations believable.

Review: The creator of the movie "American Beauty" Takes his talent to the 'small screen'. In fact it's anything but small, it's like watching a mini-movie every week, I look forward to it and as the season finale nears I'm really excited, but sad to see the new...

Pros: Fabulously bizarre and real. Iluminates the meaning and essence of life while provoking intense emotion.

Cons: The subject matter can be offensive, and very sexually risque--controversial.

The Bottom Line: This show is original, witty, real and satisfying. I simply love it and I think you will too.

Review: Ladies and Gents I’m currently coming down from my high of last weeks dose of Six Feet Under. The with drawl pains are unbearable...I’m craving the next episode. To try to calm these addictive pangs I have decided to write about this...I guess I would...

Pros: Best Drama on TV - Hands down - Fascinating on many levels

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Superb, well acted - a real winner!

Review: What a stellar first season. This is a premier drama that only shows on HBO. A drama that resides in a home mortuary - how original and compelling is that! Even though death is a major theme, it never comes across as ghoulish. The begining of each ...

Pros: Brilliant, one of the best shows ever

Cons: Too morbid for some people's tastes

The Bottom Line: Charming, intelligent, sarcastic, morbid. Superb!

Review: Words can hardly express my excitement regarding this show. I simply loved every second of it! The intrigue is rich, the characters - well-drawn and constantly improving, filled with sarcasm. Also, the direction, writing and acting are absolutely ...

Pros: Basically everything.

Cons: Graphic imagery.

The Bottom Line: If you missed this season than wait for the box set to come out. This show is too good to miss.

Review: When I saw the preview even before the series started I was interested in the series. The characters seemed very, very, very interesting. The story I was clueless about. When I watched episode 1 I immediately wanted more. Six Feet Under turned out...

Pros: Characters, plot, pacing, cast.

Cons: Overly addictive.

The Bottom Line: I can't express in words how great this show is. It is honestly the best show I have ever seen and ever will. YOU MUST WATCH IT!

Review: Six Feet Under sounds like a fairly interesting concept. The story is about dysfunctional family which includes Nate, Ruth, Nate Jr., David, and Claire. Nate Jr. lives in Seattle until the first episode shown where he comes for a visit but while his...

Pros: Many compelling story lines and a great comedic element mixed together.

Cons: A bit graphic. Not a family series for the younger crowd.

Review: This show really captured me. I did not get familiar with it when it was on cable but was introduced to it by my Mom. I then just rented the season all together and this proved to be a great way to watch this series. The characters in the program ...
