Six Feet Under - The Complete First Season
The television series SIX FEET UNDER, about the members of a dynamic Los Angeles-based family that operates the Fischer and Sons Funeral Home, has an ironically grim, but intriguing premise: each episode is based on the death and extenuating circumstances of the family's current client. When a porno star dies and is brought to Fischer and Sons, an entourage of her former costars appear to mourn her death. In another episode, the family must negotiate with tough Mexican-American gang members who have very specific requests for the funeral of one of their brethren. A sassy drama that is rife with black comedy, SIX FEET UNDER follows other hit series like SEX IN THE CITY and THE SOPRANOS. Alan Ball created the hit series after scoring a huge success with his original screenplay for AMERICAN BEAUTY. Ball has written and directed several of the 13 episodes that comprise this first season.

"...Making the show a must-see are clueless mom Frances Conroy, non-conformist high school sis Lauren Ambrose and Rachel Griffiths..."
-
"...The show confronts death -- and, of course, life -- with an artful mix of irony, gallows humor, and heartbreaking poignance..."

Consistently intelligent, touching, real.
There aren't many TV series like this around. It could have turned out depressing, given the theme of the show, but the varied characters and interwoven stories keep a kinetic energy flowing throughout, whilst touching on subjects that affect us all. The characters are varied, believable and involving, and the script tight and often surprising in its direction, especially the dialogue with dead characters. The most appealing aspect for me is the learning process the family are going through, none of whom are stagnating. A refreshing 'unAmerican' American programme.

Lars and the Real Girl
- 10 Mar 2008
It's not unusual for children to have imaginary friends. Parents usually take an indulgent - if uneasy - view of such a fantasy, confident that it will soon pass. The Orphanage and The Spiderwick Chronicles both play on just such an understanding, but in each case the imaginary has more teeth than you would expect. When it's an adult labouring under this delusion it's more disturbing - unless you're Jimmy Stewart and your pal is a six foot white rabbit answering to the name of "Harvey". Lars (R Read more
