I'm a grown ass 39 year old man and I finished this show last night for the first time and I ugly cried for like two hours after watching the end. I was a sobbing wreck... What an amazing show

this show is a masterpiece, the finale is the best episode ever

Just hearing that song makes me cry. You're not human if you didn't cry watching the last season of Six Feet Under...

When Ruth see’s her husband. Then her son. Awh man, I can’t take it.

I couldn't stop crying for an hour when I first saw it. Then I'd rewatch it and cry again. BEST SHOW EVER.

My 13 year old remembers me bawling like a baby while watching...she was 3 and kept saying "What's wrong Mommy? Why you crying?". I couldn't compose myself to explain why...man, I will never forget the first time I saw the finale.

That ending was 6 and a half minutes of pure art, so emotional, I couldn't stop crying. And still, after all those years, every time I watch it, it hurts like hell!

Well atleast I'm not the only grown man with a beard that cried watching this haha

Just remembering the finale while watching this video has me losing it. Probably the most memorable season finale ever.

I have been watching this finale for a long time now, and I worked in the funeral business as well, and lately I lost someone dear to me... The Finale has a meaning and it's on the DVD cover. Everyone.Everything. Everywhere. Ends. The fact that Claire is moving on, thinking about how the future will be, people she will lose, the lonely road, it means something and I believe thats what the producers wanted to demonstrate. Whatever you do, people will die, life will change, people will grow, and we're all gonna go through it one day, but in the meanwhile, we must never stop, keep rolling, going on, follow our dreams, passions, so we can end accomplished.

This is me right now. I just finished the series and cannot stop crying. 😭😭😭

When Keith is shot it always get's me because he left so much sooner then everyone else

The "mourn" of these last 6 minutes "closed the loop" for one of the best series yet written. I called out sick from work because I was not prepared for what that ending did to me and you expressed my experience to the "T". Thank you, brother!

This is stoic compared to how I reacted to the last 6 minutes of the final episode!

It's almost too much watching all of the characters you've grown attached to over 5 seasons get killed off in 6 minutes.

I just got this recommended in 2021 after I has the exact same reaction. David seeing Keith in his youth right before he passes just opened the flood gates. One of the best tv shows I’ve ever seen. ❤️

Well Alan Ball surely created one of the best stores of all time. After watching the previous 4 seasons it's not so hard to expect such an amazing series finale! They wanted us to cry, to smile, to remember, to feel everything for the last 6 minutes. A Masterpiece like this comes only once in a lifetime... so ENJOY!

Whenever I need a nice emotional laxative I watch the SFU series finale. Works every time. Brilliant.

I've watched this show so many times through because I love it so much & I will still cry at the end. The part where you can see Nate in the rear view running as Claire is driving away & she starts to cry always gets me.

you' re not alone. When i see the end. I cried, too.

That's not an ugly cry, that's a beautiful cry. We were all so invested in these characters, and to watch them all die was emotional overload. When I first saw it, I cried through the entire final credit roll, turned off the TV, curled up in a ball and wept on the couch for another ten minutes in silence. That's some powerful cinema.

It’s amazing. It’s 14 years later and I still feel each and every single emotion I felt when I watched the first time. Watching you watch it makes me feel closer to humanity especially considering what’s going on in the world right now. ❤️

This was the most powerful ending to a series or even any movie that I have ever seen. We were invested in the characters like they were family and I think that's why it hits everyone this hard.We realize that this is what we all do and will go through to our life's end.I haven't cried from watching too many fictional TV series or movies, but I cried hard when I watched the original airing of this.I recently watched again and still cried almost as hard.Sia's song also is the most perfect soundtrack for this ending.

I watched this series when it came to air in 2001, and recently re-watched after almost 15 years. I was 16 when the series ended at the time and the ending is just so perfect, it had a real impact on me then. Now I'm 31, and I remembered that the scene was coming, and still cried so hard.. such a great show and such a great finale!

My wife and I devoured the series last year after hearing for years that it has the best series finale of all time. Over and over I’d hear this and assume that it’d been overhyped. There’s no way it could live up to that. So, it’s even more of a testament to its power that it overrides all expectations and leaps to that honor of being the best. It gutted us. Like many others, we were in withdrawal for weeks, months afterward. I remember thinking as the final six minutes played that there isn’t a word for the emotion it creates. It’s sadness, joy, anger, despair, nostalgia, and empathy all wrapped into a new super-emotion.

Of all the reactions I've seen, this is the best one. I was crying with you man.

It is testament to the characterisations of this show that we all bawl like babies upon watching it. Any show worth its salt draws the viewer in to have feeling for its characters, but none other than Six Feet Under wrenches at your soul if you ask me.

I pretty much grew up with this series in my teens and my early 20s... It helped my coming out and also with a lot of life philosophies... and well, reminded me I had seen Sia at a gig in Melbourne when she wasn't known at the time. I was balling during these last 6 minutes to the point that I couldn't speak to anyone for a few hours. I really also think about this show a lot and dig out the box set once in a while just to remind myself of certain lessons in life (as screwed up as it is).

bawling like a baby... just like 99.999% of everyone else! its been 10 years and I still say that finale is still the goddamn best ever...

Yep.... I've just watched the last 9 minutes again and after all these years.....I'm still reacting just like this guy and just like I did when it aired the first time. What an incredible series and the absolute best series wrap episode of any television show in the history of television.

Best serie ever. Same reaction here... every time.

Best tv show I have ever encountered, watched it about 7 months ago and almost not a single day passes by without me re-watching the finale. Thank you Alan Ball for such epic experience, this tv show is one of the best things that happened to me.

Grown man with long hair (at the time) and tattoos and a beard....and cried too. Probably the greatest finale ever.

I saw the entire series with my boyfriend and in te finale we almost died, we cried like babies. I could not breathe. The BEST SERIES i ever seen. Closely identified with you. Great videos Brett, I would have liked to record me. Hugs from Argentina

Thanks for bringing up memories of watching this finale. One of the greatest, most poetic sequences in TV (or cinema for that matter) history. The editing itself delivers the message ... Claire dies, albeit at a very old age having lived a full life ... but back to the present - she's still alive. The characters are all still alive. We're all still alive.

When the show ended a piece of me went with it during the finale

I just cried... watching you cry... watching The Finale. I know The Finale makes me bawl like a little baby, but I didn't think watching someone else watch it would have a similar effect!

I was sobbing, it was so sad yet at the same time it had closure for everyone in the show.

The best series finale of all time and how hysterical is it that Brenda died still listening to Billy s***??????

Every few years I watch the final episode of Six Feet Under...those final 6 minutes to reorient myself...to remind myself that life is truly miraculous...to hold tight to it and fight for it. Cherish it. "You can't take a picture of this... It's already gone"

I still remember very well the first time I watched the series finale...it was very rough. Watching one by one, all the people we've come to love, die in front of us. RIP-best show ever made.

I had the same reaction bro. I love this show so much... It leaves you with raw emotion at the end. goosebumps form, tears fall, and questions come into play... but the viewer has such a deep interaction and all we are left with is The End. This is hands down the best ending to a show I have ever seen.

I missed work for 2 days because of this. great season finale

I cried all day from this ending. soo emotional

The ending gutted me almost as much as losing Nate. It was close to a damn emotional breakdown. I just started bawling like a bitch watching you as well. Best show hands down to grace television.

You know it is a perfect show when it makes you cry like that...Six feet under is so close to being called a perfect show...I cried like a baby just like that guy... especially at the Claire's ending scene...my god..that was too much...

I just watched this finale for the first time... I can't remember the last time I cried like this!

I swear I rocked in a corner for about an hour. One of the best endings ever, fitting for one of the best shows ever.

I loved the Fisher's and cried like a baby. I was so involved with that family :(

Me too. Doesn't seem to matter how many times I put myself through the bliss/agony of watching the flawless finale of 6FU, I am moved to tears & eventual sobbing.

El mejor final que una serie haya podido tener.👌

Omg the part when. Ruth dies wa so sad but beautiful. I loved how she looked in one direction and saw Nathaniel and then toward the door and saw Nate and he smiles at her as if to say"it's ok mom. We're gonna be together now.

2019 and this finale still gets me,everytime....

“You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.”

I just watched the finale and OMG we all kinda cried identically hahahahha like with the same ups and downs. Thanks for sharing this is amazing

I always end up crying through my tears at how Billy bores Brenda to death

Nothing has ever made me cry as hard and as purely as the end of this show. No show has ever had me as emotionally invested in these characters as SFU. The culmination of saying goodbye to the show and being forced into saying goodbye to each character literally combines with the beauty of the sequence and song destroyed me. This guy held it together about 10 times better than I did. Thanks for sharing.

Do one for Nate's funeral. I was seriously sobbing during that one.

I randomly landed on this video today, and i'm glad I did. 6FU is my favorite show ever and i love watching peoples' reaction to it. The finale still wrecks me almost two decades later. This show was brilliant from the beginning, and its great to see this reaction. Thanks man. I needed this today.

Awww. I hope you don't mind, but I jokingly used this on FB as my reaction to re-watching the series, including finale, for the umpteenth time. Your tears and smiles actually perfectly depict the rollercoaster of that fateful-yet-hopeful ending. It's painful - definitely cleans the tear ducts. I'm not sure I've ever loved fictional characters as much as I love these people from SFU. BrBa is my #1 favorite drama, but SFU had the most interesting and realistic characters. I hope 2085 doesn't arrive too soon. :)

I cried with you

Great video! This mirrors my reaction to the shows finale. The ending was sheer torture. While merciless in it's reinforcement of the harsh reality of death, it was played out beautifully and deepened my love for all the shows characters. I cried so hard my stomach hurt... The only other season finale that has evoked such emotion in me since is the ending of the Leftovers, Season 1. Heartbreaking. Six Feet Under was perhaps one of my favorite series of all time.

At first when i saw that someone posted a video of their reaction, I actually laughed. But, then i pulled up the last episode and rewatched it, and it brought me right back to the moment I first saw it years ago with tears in my eyes talking to the screen saying no each time someone died. So, in the end, i thank you for posting your reaction because it is real. Not many people want to show their true colors or feelings, especially on a social site. So, thanks for posting it and reminding me of a great show. One that I'll never forget.

Watched the finale yesterday and i cried just like you. Watching you cried made me cry all over again. Best Show ever !

Reacted the same way and needed an hour to calm down. My mistake, i watched it the night before christmas... ^^' Six Feet Under has the best Finale of a TV-Show so far.

Possibly the greatest finale to any show currently in existence

This was bitter sweet, ty for sharing. I still cry every time I watch the ending scene. I attribute this to the complex character development. I watch SFU when I am feeling ungrateful or out of touch and it always brings me back to what essentially matters in my life.

That was exactly my reaction when I watched this 15 years ago. How did they manage to create an ending so sad but still so unbelievably satisfying that makes you feel broken and at the same moment whole after watching it?

My goodness, this is beautiful. Was right there with you watching the finale the first time, am in tears here watching this now 15 years later. Most deeply affecting ending to a series ever.

Thank you so much for your video. It means we are damn normal reacting to this finale our way. Finale was incredible. I still watch it time to time.

I still get emotional watching this show! The ending is so, so powerful!

I love that you appreciate this show as much as I did! It was incredible.... I miss that show.

I remember people took off the next day for bereavement pay. I feel you boo.

I cried too - after some 8 years since I watched it I watched it again today. Same thing.

we have all been there.....it's also the tension built throughout the years of the series. But the saddest moments in life are somehow regenerating too....almost therapeutical.....I very much love the way I felt there. But yes, I was SHATTERED

Still the best ending to a tv series....God I love this show!

Im introducing this series to my sister soon... there will likely be a reaction video to the finale in the near future...

Lol, I'm balling my eyes out watching you balling your eyes out. This finale gets me every time, even more so after all these years. Thanks for your bravery.

just finished it today my heart i cant even right now

That IMO is the absolute best ending to a series of all time. It snuck up on me too when saw it first time and the tears started flowing. I feel you, brother. No shame

I have just watched it again tonight after all these years and I must say, I ugly cried again tonight! I actually cried myself ugly watching your reaction to the final 6 minutes. You are an amazing man! 💜

Ohhh maaaaan I feel this so hard! I've watched the finale so many times I know by the song which scene it's on and I was right there with you crying the whole way through!

Best finale ever a true TV masterpiece. I still cry just by listening to the song.

It's difficult to be a fan of the show, and NOT lose it during that final episode. That song, "Breath Me", along with what happens to them all, plays with the heart-strings. Along with Claire taking a picture, and Nate telling her, "You can take a picture of it, because it's already gone".

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that lost it. One the most emotional finales I've ever watched.

SFU is my religion. I was 17 when I started to watch and now I'm 36. It defined the way I'm living my life and I am SO GRATEFUL. I achieved so many of my dreams because I am truly aware of my mortality. Things have to be done at the moment you can do them! Don't wait! I hope everyone could watch Six feet under, people would be happier...

I was crying again just watching you cry! Literally the best ending to a show I have ever watched in my entire life!

We've all been there Brett i.e., the bawling. I finished the series two years ago (a little bit after you did in 2014) and still have not rewatched the ending or entire series again - yet. I'm saving it for a rainy day. I started the series never expected it to wring those tears out of me. I began watching it on my own with no recommendations from anyone but purely out of curiosity. I never thought I would become so emotionally invested with a fictional television family! Needless to say I was so emotionally drained toward the end and then the final scene came along. I immediately got online and looked up anything related to the series ending and found others were affected by the ending just as much. I found many testimonies in forums and reviews by viewers who felt the same way I did. Really is the best television series I have seen! Bravo to the creators and writers of the show!

when claire sees nate in the side view mirror as she departs and then when she sees Ted at her moms funeral a+

Brett I have the exact same emotions every time I view the last scene. You are so invested the characters by then that it's like losing your own family members. It's gut wrenching and overwhelming.

I bawled like a baby when I first watched it...and the time after that...and the time after that... I still get teary eyed when I watch it. Best finale ever!

my respects for u for posting this. it was a very beautiful and meaningful finale. I was sobbing just like you, if not more.

The final show is so hard core / so mind blowing. I cried for hours after watching it. Years later & I could still cry thinking about it. I don’t even know when the next time I could prepare myself for watching that episode again.

Looking At Your Reaction Is Like Looking In The Mirror...I Had The Exact Same Reaction When I Watched The Song. You Have A Beautiful Spirit And Empathy...Much Respect. That Was A Beautiful And Raw Reaction.

Yeah...I also cried a lot when I first saw the final moments of the Six Feet Under...unforgettable moment....great series ever!

You're very brave for putting this online. Cheers.

That finale fuckin' KILLED me. Never seen anything like it, not before, not after. Absolute masterpiece - as was the whole show. But that finale was truly something else. Brilliantly done/made. Made me cry so hard, even long after it was done; and even now, years later. Wow. Absolutely amazing. Perfection.

It is so rare to see a men cry over a movie or tv show , this show is so perfect and the finale episode so intense i cried like a baby and felt like i was grieving when i saw it for the 1st time 11 years ago. And i also cried when i rewatched the whole show for the 4th time this year . Six feet under is such an incredible and emotional show , so ahead of its time ! Even 20 years later it hasn't aged at all

Wow! I felt that i was with you the entire time....the greatest series ending ever! Thanks for sharing! Beautiful!

I am hysterical all the way when I watch this finale, like this guy, exactly....
