'Six Feet Under' is simply a total gem. It will grab you from the first episode within minutes-literally- and you won't be able to turn back! For me, a test of good writing is if you find yourself thinking about the characters outside of what has been presented to you; if you wonder about this person you've watched, then they have become real to you. It's in your watching their plights and scenarios and thinking about the hows, whys and what ifs behind the scenes shown that you find true art. This is also the crux of what good writing, directing and acting is all about. It doesn't hurt that within every episode we glimpse ordinary, completely real and relatable people grappling with the ultimate mystery of life, which is trying to understand the ultimate unknown: death.
What's great about it: It contains some of the most talented and dedicated ensemble and solo work in the industry!
What's not so great: None really... you'll either love this series or hate it-but you won't be able to deny the talent on and off screen!
