Six Feet Under: Complete HBO Season 2 Six Feet Under: Complete HBO Season 2
In some ways, HBO's Six Feet Under plays kid brother to the Sopranos: it's spunkier, less ... more
refined, chancier and a bit of a punk.
Nevertheless, the show, set in the southern
California mortuary Fisher and Sons, deserves its
place in the pantheon of great television series.
The initial series was a showcase for the most
original characters, including tight-lipped
brother David (Michael C Hall) coming out of the
closet, emotionally trippy mom Ruth (Frances
Conroy) and the most complex girlfriend on the
face of the planet, Brenda (Rachel Griffiths).
Slowly, the major force in series two 2 is the
unassuming lead, Peter Krause. Part of the long
line of good-looking actors who never get respect
because they make it look too easy, Krause finds
the perfect blend of optimism and wonderful,
bittersweet anguish as Nate, the prodigal son. The
opening series' happy ending is forgotten as
relationships change, the business is still under
fire from the evil conglomerate Kroehner, and a
lively dream sequence is just around the corner.
As with the first series, creator Alan Ball lets
many others direct and write the show, but his
stamp is all over it. The eccentricities of the
characters are shaped, and not always suddenly.
Take daughter Claire (Lauren Ambrose), who sheds
her bad boyfriend only to find more complex
relationships on her road to discovering her own
groove. One person in the mix is Ruth's beatnik
sister (Patricia Clarkson, in an Emmy-winning
role). She's a joyous embodiment of thriving--if
ageing--counter-culture. Another new character is
Nate's old girlfriend, the granola-loving Lisa
(Lili Taylor). With Brenda heading down another
destructive course, Nate is at more than one
crossroads by series' end. For fans who groove
with the wild, serio-comedic world of the Fishers
(and let's face it, many didn't), the second
series goes down like a fine meal of fusion
cuisine. --Doug Thomas

Six Feet Under: Complete HBO Season 5 Six Feet Under: Complete HBO Season 5
So much anticipation pools up around the concluding episode of this concluding season that ... more
you might be tempted to head straight for said
finale, titled "Everyone's Waiting" (and it's so
rich you'll find yourself drawn to repeated
viewings). But if you can avoid that impulse, it's
worth following the full build-up of one crisis
after another to get the real payoff. On an
episode-by-episode basis, Six Feet Under's fifth
season has a decidedly uneven quality, shifting in
tone far more drastically, say, than the intensely
dark season 4. Character traits that have already
been developed at length begin to seem annoyingly
repetitious--Nate's (Peter Krause) self-centered
frustration and furious lashings out, Billy's
(Jeremy Sisto) resurgent psychosis--like
leitmotifs run amuck. But this season also
benefits from the knowledge we've developed, over
the years, of the Fisher family and their loved
ones, so that what they end up facing has a real
emotional wallop, sometimes jump-starting the
drama just where it seems to be in danger of
churning itself into circles. It's hardly a
spoiler to mention that 6fu's final season, though
bookended by the promise of new beginnings (a
wedding in episode 1 to a departure for new
prospects in the 12th episode), centers around
loss and a pivotal death. The scripts contain more
than an occasional sense of inconsequential
filler, while some of the recurring thematics seem
forced (we see David continue to cope with the
scars from his abduction in the previous episode
via over-obvious imagery of facing his "inner
demons"). Other issues receive especially
compelling treatment, above all Brenda's (Rachel
Griffiths) desire to have a child and David and
Keith's (Mathew St. Patrick) choice to adopt. But
the real strength of this season lies in several
gripping performances. Ruth (Frances Conroy)
touches off a complex series of reactions,
simultaneously sympathetic and judgmental,
transcending the tendency to appear as a neurotic
caricature. The super-talented Lauren Ambrose
brings off Claire's emerging self-awareness and
maturity with moving touches (she's also got some
of the funniest moments as she takes on a stint as
a temp in scenes that call to mind the hysterics
of The Office). Griffiths' Brenda for her part
undergoes a parallel maturing process. And as
George's daughter Maggie, Tina Holmes adds a
welcome tone of contrast.6fu, of course, has
always been about the paradoxes of finality. But
anyone who has developed an attachment to the
show's unique tone and creative sensibility will
have a tough time saying goodbye. Alan Ball
outdoes himself with his script (and direction)
for the finale, "Everyone's Waiting," seeding it
with echoes from the pilot episode that will
enchant aficionados. And the famous fast-forward
visions coursing through Claire's imagination as
she heads down the highway give the perfect seal
to this set of characters. Extras include
especially insightful commentaries, including Ball
on the finale, retrospectives, and a mini-feature
on 6fu's cultural impact. It's safe to say that
the show leaves some pretty unforgettable
impressions in its wake. --Thomas May

Six Feet Under : Complete HBO Season 1 Six Feet Under : Complete HBO Season 1
Six Feet Under is not just a smartly written, sublimely acted soap that happens to be set ... more
in a funeral home; it's a profound mixture of
emotional truths and whimsical black comedy that
uses its setting to comment upon the way we live,
with the omnipresent spectre of death throwing
life's problems into sharp relief. Creator Alan
Ball (American Beauty) understands modern neuroses
more than most, it seems, and his rich sense of
the absurd is given added potency, not to say
piquancy, by the sometimes comically ridiculous
juxtaposition of life and death.  The first series
introduces the Fisher family, whose already
weighty emotional baggage is bolstered by the
sudden demise of their patriarch, who has willed
the family funeral home to his two initially
hostile sons, wayward Nate (Peter Krause) and
in-the-closet David (Michael C Hall). Teenage
younger sister Claire (Lauren Ambrose) and
repressed mother Ruth (Frances Conroy) have their
own problems, as does put-upon mortician Federico
(Freddy Rodriguez). The first year's unfolding
story arc includes the family's resistance to a
hostile big corporation, Nate's budding romance
with wild card Brenda (stunningly good Rachel
Griffiths), David's attempts to reconcile his
Christian faith with his homosexuality, Claire's
self-destructive boyfriend trouble and Ruth's
gradual realisation that, although she was a wife
and is a mother, she's entitled to have a life
too.  On the DVD: Six Feet Under, Series 1 spreads
13 episodes across four discs. Care has been taken
to reflect the show's stylish look in everything
from the novel external packaging to the menu
layouts. Picture is good, but only standard 4:3
ratio, though sound is vivid Dolby 5.1. The bonus
features include two episode commentaries from
creator Alan Ball, who happily chats about the
pilot and the season finale, both of which he
wrote and directed. There's a 22-minute "Behind
the Scenes" featurette--standard HBO fare with
cast interviews. More interesting is "Under the
Main Titles", which explores Digital Kitchen's
creation of the fascinating opening title sequence
and talks to genius composer Thomas Newman about
his theme music. The music can also be heard in an
audio-only track as well as in Kid Loco's
"Graveyard" remix. Text biographies, episode
synopses and Web links complete the extras. One
minor niggle: there's no "Play All" facility, so
you can't indulge the luxury of watching
uninterrupted episodes back-to-back. --Mark Walker

Truly amazing!
Review of Six Feet Under - The Complete First Series (Box Set) by PlaceboFan

Advantages: Gives an insight into death
Disadvantages: Have to watch it from the start to truly understand it

...Six feet under it an amazing series. Now on to its third season on channel 4 and starting a fourth season on satalite tv. A dark humour, six feet truly brings death to life again as Alan Ball and the help of Thomas Newman (music & soundtracks) makes another fascinating programme. If you enjoyed American Beauty then this is another series for you! Set in a Funeral Home in America, the family has to cope with the death of their father and have to prepare him for the funeral. With the dead making an appearence through the show and passing their wisdom on to those who run the funeral home, it is a truly insightful show about death. The family are fairly introvert and dont really share feelings and thoughts with each other Nate Fisher feels his father Nathanial Fisher (who dies in the first episode) is trying to use blackmail from beyond...
