• Looking for "6 feet under" episode.

  Does anyone know the episode where a man dies and a woman asks to be left alone with the deceased. When left alone she verbally abuses the crap out of him , fixes herself up and leaves.

  9.5 Superb

  A masterpiece of television. hide « show »

  Original concept, could be slow at times, had some filler episodes. Still one of the best series you could put your eyes onto.
  
  About the characters:
  Brenda was a disgusting person who then all of the sudden was a victim and was almost as if she didn't have it coming. I thought this was one of the two main characters who hindered the show's quality. The other was the way they made...
  
  ...Nate evolve. As Peter Krause himself said after being killed-off, it was as if he has the golden fish syndrome or something. He kept making the same mistakes time after time while being portrayed exactly as the person who wouldn't repeat them. Brenda was the opposite and then turned into Mrs. Modern Mother Mary.
  
  Nathaniel was great. Sometimes I thought "oh no, they're cutting him off" but then he kept comming back, and good thing he did.
  
  Ruth could sometimes be a pain, but deep down she always meant good and always sacrificed herself. One has to cut her a lot of slack for all she put up with.
  
  David was a great character all around. He could be humorous as quickly as he could be sad and empathetic.
  
  Claire was probably my favorite though she did seem a little too resistant to growing up one time or another.
  
  One last paragraph regarding the Finale. It was majestic, superb, epic, well... I could keep on going. If you ever hear it being hyped just believe it, it IS really *that* good. Only haters/trolls rated it lower than 9.0 and the rest speaks for itself.

  10 Perfect

  Simply put, it is perfect. hide « show »

  Death. There is no greater truth, nothing more fundamental to human existence, than our mortality. While many believe in some form of spiritual continuance, we all share one common reality: every single one us is going to die. And yet, as a society, we not only fear this inevitable conclusion of life, we shuffle it off to the sidelines and hide it from view. Our dead are quickly transferred to detached professionals who sanitize the experience for public consumption, and we are encouraged to internalize our grief for fear of embarrassing ourselves or upsetting others. Every day, the emotional impact is trivialized in films and television for the sake of entertainment, and we grow further distanced from our shared reality. Six Feet Under sought to change that, and through a dark blend of comedy and drama, it brought death out of the closet for all to see.
  
  Recently, I have been watching dramatic television and wondering where the magic went. There are some good shows out there, but hardly anything that grabs ahold of my insides and refuses to let go until the hour is over. I even started to question whether it was me, wondering if perhaps I was just getting old and cranky. Re-watching these five seasons, I see quite clearly that it isn't me. Shows like Six Feet Under have simply set the bar so incredibly high that finding anything that remotely compares is a near-impossible task. The writing is insightful, with meaning that transcends mere television drama; the direction is inspired, as if each hour-long episode is its own short-length feature film; and there is no series that can boast better performances than those given by this absolutely stellar cast. I enjoy all kinds of shows, and I consider many of them to be fantastic at a level of can't-miss appointment television deserving of high praise; but it's only the rarest of shows that I can claim to truly love. I fell in love with Six Feet Under, and as I stare at this set and listen to its beautiful music, I find it hard to believe anyone else could watch it and not have the same reaction. There are a lot of words in this review, so I'll keep this simple: television does not get any better than this.

  10 Perfect

  Pure masterpiece. hide « show »

  Winner of Golden Globes, Emmy's Awards and appeared for a couple of time on the „Best TV Series Of All Time" lists show Six Feet Under appeared on TV for the first time in 2001.
  Alan Ball's (American Beaty) series takes a look at members of isolated, living in a funereal home Fisher's family. The eldest son, Nate Fisher, comes back from Seattle home in L.A. after his father's unexpected death. He finds out that his dad inherited family business between him and his gay brother – David. Now he has to learn how to live in this strange home again. David hides his homosexuality, and pretends to be a christian values son. Brother's mother, Ruth must has to face a life without a husband, when her teenage daughter Claire has problem with law and she is trying to find her own personality. During 5 incredible seasons we can see how Fishers are grow up, change, loose their isolation, look for sense of life and... die.
  
  Six Feet Under is a perfect drama series, which has everything and even more, what drama should has – well written, great plot and realistic characters, unashamed in showing a pain and dead, but not without dark humor, inteligence. Shows not only Fisher's family problems (adoloscent adult man and a teenage girl, gay old woman), but also their friends: Nate's girlfriend Brenda and her depressive brother Billy, David's boyfriend Keith, Fisher's latin employee Rico, Ruth's boyfriends and other fantastic characters appear on our screen.
  The roles of Nate and Brenda ale played by absolutely perfect Peter Krause and Rachel Griffiths (nominated and she won Golden Globes, Emmy's), who show what a real acting means. Great Frances Conroy (Broken Flowers, Scent of a Woman, Aviator) who plays Ruth is except Nate the most important character of the show. Micheal C. Hall (Dexter) as David, and Lauren Ambrose as Claire are also brilliant.
  
  What is a most memorable about Six Feet Under apart from mentioned acting and plot is fantastic music composed by Thomas Newman (Shawshank Redemption, The Horse Whisperer, Amercian Beauty, The Green Mile, Wall.E) is dark humour. Show is very serious, but it also has funny scenes, which makes we laugh every time we see them, and remember very long. Another thing is that Alan Ball's production is drama, but it doesn't have cheap, mush purchase which drama often has. Show isn't schematic, you never know what happens next, and you'e always suprised. Great thing in Six Feet Under is that we become very attached to Fisher's, and we start to take them very personal, like members of our family. This is one of the reason, why we remeber many scenes for a long time after we watched them. The best thing about show is final. It's an incredible explosion of emotions. The last 15 minutes show the real sense of everyone's life. It's the greatest thing you'll ever see on a big, or a small screen. Six Feet Under is a beautiful masterpiece which won't be forgotten.

  7 Good

  oh well well hide « show »

  Unfortunately I can't decide what score should I give to this show because surely it got my attention but it's too hard to choose if it did in a good or a bad way. I first saw Michael C. Hall in Dexter so watching him interpret Dave was no surprise for me but yet the way things were evolving started to amaze me in weird way of amazement. But this show just try put in front our family problems, our daily problems that we have when we try to create a human connection with our neighbor for example. This is just another realistic sad show...

  6 Fair

  First two seasons were brilliant and fantastic. The last three seasons were complete crap. hide « show »

  The first two seasons were brilliant and fantastic. I truly felt that I was seeing what was in my head realized in the television tube. The things the characters said were stunning original and fresh. The plotline was instinctively compelling and left me with a happy feeling.
  
  The last three seasons were complete crap. I actually skipped the third season after the second episode in until the middle of the fourth seasons. The mere idea of Nate and Lisa getting married repulsed me, let alone watching it realized in the show. I came back to watching the show in the middle of the fourth seasons because I thought the author would bring Nate and Brenda back together after how season three began. I hoped that they would be happy together when the episode ended.
  
  Instead, I finished the last episode and the only beautiful thing is Nate's new child was being born. I choose to rewrite the entire last three seasons in my head just so I can stay out of a mental hospital, myself. I mean, the last three seasons are a mind frak of depression. I imagine it all originated with the writer supposedly choosing to go forward with the artificial changing of Nate Fisher into a complete moron. I say this because Nate screwed around on Brenda and she forgave him for it; And, so when the shoe is on the other foot, he throws his ring at her? Then the writer refuses to let Nate get a clue, or two, and realize what a fool he was. It is this kind of Hollywood ending barf fest, that I contemplate sticking to books.
  
  I hope next time I am smart enough to just move on the next time I see a writer choose to make such a fundamentally flawed decision. I say hope because I am still debating on whether I want to give "True Blood" another chance after episode 11's fundamentally flawed plot twist. There, the leading woman decided she was breaking up with the leading man because he had to go to court, because he killed a man to defend her own life. I have to say that is even more moronic.
