Six Feet Under - The Complete First Series (Box Set) (DVD)

...and dull sitcoms. Six Feet Under is another creation brought to us by the US cable channel HBO. The network has previously been responsible for the likes of The Sopranos and Oz as well as Curb Your Enthusiasm. The channel is a subscription based so it means they’re not really regulated by the more mainstream television rules and can therefore take more risks with the content of their programs. The show is the brainchild of American Beauty writer ...
...of what to expect. Six Feet Under is set in the world of death. The Fishers are a family of undertakers who have been affected by the death of their father in a car accident.

Review of Six Feet Under - The Complete First Series (Box Set) (DVD)

...The whole concept of six feet under is totally original and new and it could have been a real flop but this series doesn't fail to get the viewer gripped and I can only tell that it goes from strength to strength from there on. This season is definitely the worst of the six seasons but this didn't become apparent to me until we finished all of the series. It's far from bad though and still does a good job of keeping you hooked. Don't give up on this ...

Review of Six Feet Under - The Complete First Series (Box Set) (DVD)

Not wishing to give too much away, when Nathanial Fisher dies unexpectedly the rest of the Fisher family have the task of taking over the funeral home along with all the blood, sweat and tears involved. The comedy in this series is extremely dark, although it is in places more lighthearted than series ...
...(as you may expect), and in others it is funny and witty. The series stars Peter Krause (as Nate), Michael C. Hall (as David), Frances Conroy (as Ruth), Lauren Ambrose (as Claire), Rachel Griffiths (as Brenda), and Freddy Rodriquez (as Federico - in my opinion the best character). All the acting is superb! The series is produced and co-written by Alan Ball who won an Oscar for writing American Beauty. The series also features the best title sequence ...

...on six feet under and that is what makes the viewer think more about death. Never before has a programme of such quality or of this subject been aired. It has to be the best series to come out of America in a long, long time!!! Truly amazing! ...
