You clearly have not watched the death of dr green on ER. If you don't cry like a baby watching that, you need some professional help

i agree you might enjoy Deadwood if you havent watched it already

@@johnwest194 I've heard that. A few times. maybe I should listen now.

Still there is no better show than six feet under

I was told to watch the series by a friend after having sat with and poured out my heart about the loss of my wonderful German shepherd that died a couple of days earlier. I raised her from a pup and we moved around the U.S. with my work in chemical engineering. So, even though I left gf's and work friends behind, she was always with me on that journey. So, when I saw the friend about a month later, she looked at me with enthusiasm and I asked; "What's up?" She asked; "So, did you watch SFU?" I replied; "Why would I want to watch a series about death when I just lost my dog?" And she said; "It shouldn't be called what it is. It should be called LIFE." So, I signed up for Netflix and got the first DVD in the mail a few days later. I was stunned with the first episode. I couldn't wait for each DVD. In fact, after having gone through the first 4 seasons one DVD at a time, I purchased the entire series on-line as my elderly mom was due to visit about a month later. I waited until she came and I watched the first 4 seasons over again with her and we watched the final season together. It was the first time in my life (my mom was 40 when she married my dad who was 25 and she worked while we went to school as kids and she retired only after I left home to work for Kodak) that her and I watched something together on TV that was more than just a show here or there. When I found black mold growing in the house I was renting (I was having trouble breathing at times and went to see a doctor who eventually stated it may be something I was allergic to) within 10-15 minutes I packed up the car and drove away from the house I had rented for most of my adult life and found a hotel 12 miles up the expressway and checked in. Of the few things I saved and took with me out of that house that day, the boxed set of Six Feet Under was one of them.

@@earthshinestudios8736 What a interesting story, and the way SFU was brought into your life. For me, since I posted that comment, my partner of 9 years has died (last September) I still stand by my original comment, but I can't bring myself to watch it again right now... But I will someday.

@@Sunisrisin I am sorry to hear of what has happened in the last year. We all go through similar things and have things happen to us. But, of all the entertaining films and TV series, it touched my heart the most. I loved the music used in the pilot when Nate was dreaming of his childhood. That scene is etched in my mind and the scene that ended the pilot with Nate coming to a busy intersection after going out for a run and then seeing his dad as if glimpsing into a parallel universe. I remember when I first experienced that scene - and as if I was the director, I said to myself - Let them see each other as the bus pulls away. The greatest gift of this show is summed up in moments. In a moment of loss & sadness, when I witnessed that the father got to see and wave to his eldest son, I had a moment of sadness replaced with a moment of happiness. I wish you moments of happiness.

It’s good but I wouldn’t go that far

+douglas787 Indeed, I was told the series was a life changing experience but after the first episodes I was like, meh wheres the interest in this? Last weekend I watched the finale and still today I can't stop thinking about it neither stop listening to the final soundtrack. By far the best series of its generation.

douglas787 it was very very intense for me to watch, I always felt too heavy hearted and during the whole day I could only think about the episode I'd watched

The quirkiness is what attracted me. I loved the ads for the products and how ridiculous it made the whole process seem. I have never understood preserving a body in an expensive box just to put it into the earth. I've never understood making yourself go through staring at the empty shell of a loved one, tying yourself to a location where their remains are, having to think of decomposition of their body (if you're morbid like me). I'm for cremation and a memorial service filled with happy pictures, videos and memories all the way. Six feet under really helped me determine my final resting plans and place. I've watched the entire series 3 times. It's becoming a yearly fall and winter addiction. It's my most fave show of all time and I'm a Netflix and Prime junkie so I've seen dozens of entire series.

This show is so brilliant HBO is a god of television

That was a BONE CHILLING scream(s) that Nate let out, all the past month lisa was missing and he barely slept.......that scene is horrific. I have never seen such anguish in my life. My own life, any song, any book. Nothing could surpass that.

And it's an echo back to S1 Ep1 where he talks about the women he saw meeting their relative's coffin on the beach and screaming out their grief and disbelief.

FACTS

Well spotted-how did I miss it! Now I can see nothing else!

Not just a tree, but "the" tree that is depicted throughout the history of the show in the graphics.

@@earthshinestudios8736 Yep with the big field/hill with the open sky behind it

I was thinking of how each Fisher reflects a different side of myself, can’t even pick a favorite Fisher, they’re all so unique in their own ways

y en la escena final… jaja

Serious spoilers for me too, I'm only on season 1. But if Nate is mourning the loss of a chick named Lisa, that means Brenda gets kicked to the curb at some point, which makes me happy, since I'm not a fan of her character at all. Guess I have a beautiful, distraught Nate to look forward to.

It WAS consistent huh? I remember season 3 taking flack back in the day (possibly season 4 too?) but never agreed. Six Feet Under's still a standard-bearer at knowing just when to call it quits. A special show. Kudos Ball & co.

Verruca: but I want it NOW daddy..

TY Farhad. 🕊

A lot of people have seen it by now especially those who go looking for it on youtube so it's not that much of a spoiler. Also there is a LOT more to learn about Lisa's death than knowing she died. Watch the series.
