This HBO series initially aspired to fits of Twin Peaks-like whimsy, with each episode starting with a death more outlandish than the previous, but soon settled into a comfortable groove that harkened back to the most familiar of TV family dramas (in fact, it's almost a mirror image of '70s drama Family, down to the three sibling archetypes). Of course, its HBO roots allowed it ample leeway with sex, drug usage, profanity, and violence. While the writing strove to be a little too clever, the overall look and tone of the show remained solid and sometimes profound (sometimes absurd too, but usually with good reason). Krause and Hall, as initially warring brothers who come to a wary understanding, are solid anchors, but it's the women in the cast who do the most phenomenal work. Conroy infuses her almost stereotypical mom with an obstinate but ultimately accepting heart, and Ambrose's Claire is by far the show's most appealing character. And stealing scenes left and right is Rachel Griffith's Brenda, a mystery woman with an outlandish backstory who meets Nate on a plane, has sex with him at the airport, and infiltrates his life. Like Brenda herself, Six Feet Under is fascinating--and highly addictive. --Mark Englehart

Customer Reviews of Six Feet Under - The Complete First Season
Best Show in the World This is my favorite show of all time. I got involved and hooked from the first show. Definately give it a try. You don't have tp be morbid to like it.
Pleased.
I thoroughly enjoyed the gathering that occupied Alan Ball's world of Six Feet Under. And the perspective he gives on two commentary tracks gives insight into the thoughts and feelings human nature puts on display. I work as a paramedic in a rather large south florida community, and meet briefly with large numbers of people inside a week. I can attest to how people interact with one another without understanding why. Ball does an excellent job in capturing that. And the fact that he gives credit to those around him concerning the development and layers of the lives of the Fisher family and those who orbit their existence, in capturing a unique window into what it is like to have flaws, shows how great a film maker he is. He shows that we try and make the best of what we own the most...our lives. Thanks Alan.
Well Worth Every Penny
I know what you are thinking. I felt the same way at first as well. It is too expensive. However, this show is just about as good as it gets for tv. Once I watched the first episode I had to keep watching and spent a few hours each night watching the episodes for all five seasons. You won't be disappointed with this DVD set. There are a few things you need to know before you buy this DVD though. There is very strong language, drug use, and occasional nudity in this show and since its from HBO it is unsensored.
