I just finished watching all 5 seasons of Six Feet Under. The writer and executive producer is Alan Ball, the writer of American Beauty (also a very well done film from an artistic point of view). Six Feet Under is the best TV series in every way. Artistically it is beautiful, striking and moving. Each scene and each sequence is beautifully calculated to communicate a specific event in life, while at the same time working seamlessly together with the entire episode to convey a message about everyday life. Each character has many layers to them, and like a traditional Japanese samurai sword made from folded steel, each layer makes the character strong and everlasting. The story and background of each character is quite different, yet there is a little bit of everyone in the characters, and while each develops differently throughout the series they are all tied together by one thing: Mortality.

At first, I was not very crazy about the show because there wasn't too much flash, and the idea of death and the funeral home business seemed quite odd. However the first couple episodes allow your mouth to salivate and the characters personality and personal lives perk your curiosity. And like, 20 discs later, I'm so glad I watched the entire TV series. It was not just worth it, but it was imperative. For TV to address funerals, death, grieving, human nature, human tragedy, and life all in one show is very difficult, however Alan Ball and everyone involved did such a beautiful job. Just beautiful.

Six Feet Under makes every other TV show out there look like a grade school clay figure story. If only those pathetic popular TV shows and reality TV shows were only this profound, bold and meaninful, I think Americans wouldn't have the reputation of being so dumb.
Here is the final few minutes of the Series Finale of Six Feet Under. So powerful. So peaceful. No other show can compare
