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.

When i first watched this show i was immediatly hooked. It was onw of those shows that i really could get into. i am picky about the tv shows that watch but this one was so good. i bought all the seasons on dvd so that i could watch episodes anytime that i wanted. i thought that the actors were chosen well for the show. Of course i was sad when it ended. This show was truly one of my favorites. i loved everything about the show. i watched some of the episodes more than once or twice. i give this show a 10.

There might be some typing errors in this review, because I speak Finnish, not English. But I hope that it doesn't mind.

I love Six Feet Under (it's called Mullan alla in Finland what means quite same, it's like "under the ground"). It's very well written, directed, acted etc. But this show is not for everyone.

During this amazing series characters and viewer go throught the "rollercoaster of feeling and emotions". You can feel happines, sorrow, abashment and hate. And I think that is much from TV show. Or even from movie. I love characters - Brenda, Claire, Nate.. they all are so awesome and they feel so real. Watch this show. You won't be disappointed.

I watched this after it had been off the air for a while because I like Michael C. Hall as Dexter on 'Dexter' but the two characters don't even compare. All the characters on 'Six Feet Under' are difficult to watch. I've never watched something where I hated most of the characters pretty much all of the time. The actions toward themselves and others made them hard to relate to.

Yet somehow, despite not liking most of the characters, I couldn't help but continue to watch this series. It was very emotional, occasionally funny and thought-provoking. It did some unconventional things which took the series in different directions and those directions worked.

Lastly, I must mention the ending. I didn't know what to expect going into it but I had heard a lot of talk about it being "amazing" and that led me to believe it would be good but somehow not measure up to what I expect amazing to be. It surprised me. It was heart-breaking and informative and the best ending I could imagine for the series.
