How Much Would You Pay...
for the greatest television show of all time? <

>I'm going to stress to you right off the bat that for those of us who followed this show as it aired... we would have bought this set at five times the price. As I write I also find myself envying those of you who will get to experience all of it for the first time. Enough waxing nostalgic though. Let me just say get past the price (which is honestly a very good deal if you work it out), that's the last time I'll mention that. <

>Six Feet Under is about a family that owns a funeral home. Like all great things you can sum it up in a sentence, but the substance of it doesn't come across in less than... well in this case... about 62 hours. In the show we follow Nate, who fears death and hates funeral homes. David, who starts off as a self-hating gay man who may just want to stop being a funeral director. Claire, our rebellious young woman finishing high school. Ruth, the mother of the bunch... a highly neurotic and fickle woman... and everyone who comes in contact with the family during the course of their business. <

>I will say that though the show can hook you from the close of the first episode, the characters don't really feel completely fleshed out until about the fourth or fifth episode. Then again there are some shows that NEVER flesh out any characters. <

>You can trace the entire voyage of the show to Nate. It is about his fear of death, and the death business. It's about how he matures over the course of about six years... to me, all else is secondary. David's struggle with who he is, Claire trying to find herself, and Ruth attempting to find her place in the world now that her children are all grown up... all of those stories are brilliant as well, but they still mostly center on Nate. <

>This truly is the best show that has ever aired. The weakest season of it (four) is still better than everything else out there. You WILL be hooked from the first episode... and unlike so many other recent series finale's... you will not be left hanging, nor will you be disappointed. <

>I've not yet come across one human being who is not moved to tears at least a few times a season... and not yet met a person who hasn't sobbed at the end. <

>Television can be art, it can move you, it can challenge you and shake you up. It can change your life. The proof is in this package. Get it.

Watched it on HBO
Very well written and acted series full of dark humor and twisted plots(no pun intended) I really enjoyed the series on HBO, but wouldn't consider buying it for full price. Some may think it is worth spending $$ for, but once was enough for me. Great show, Alan Ball is very talanted! I was sad when it ended, but it is good for a show to go out on a high, rather than let it get boring. Claire Fisher is probably my favorite character. Will eventually be a cult classic.
