No matter how many adjectives you pile upon this show, there simply aren't enough words to describe the incredible talents of everyone involved in creating a show that should be the bench mark for fellow TV shows and aspiring writers or directors for the future. These may be bold and strong words but Six Feet Under putting it simply, is one of, if not the best TV Show ever created.
This is the fifth and final series of HBO's dark and disturbing drama set in a funeral home and is quite possibly the best of the lot. Season five ties up all the lose ends in what has been an emotional roller coaster for not only the characters but for the viewers too, keeping us both glued to the screen and dreading the end which inevitably is heading our way.
The quality of this, and all the seasons for that matter, shines through when you realise that you're not being spoon fed the storylines or side stories in the way other tv shows seemingly do. It really is a lesson to the likes of Lost and Prison Break who, although in parts are written well, aren't in the same league as Six Feet Under who's cleverly written scenes and character development are in a universe of their own.
Alan Ball clearly had a job on his hands coming up with a final season of this epic drama and duely delivers. It appears that the obvious pressure of concluding what has been a consistently brilliant show brought out the best in him and everyone involved. Nate, David, Claire, Ruth and all the characters we've come to think of as a family of our own, enthrawl us with some of the greatest scenes we'll ever see on our tv sets. We'll be laughing and almost certainly sobbing throughout the final 12 episodes, especially the season finale which is as close to television perfection as you physically possible.
Six Feet Under as a whole is an absolute priviledge to watch and a show that will take something really special to be knocked off, in my opinion, the number 1 spot in television history.
