Six Feet Under - Review


I've just finished watching Six Feet Under: a series that deals predominantly with the theme of death. Life is also a main theme in this show where we get completely sucked into the lives of a number of intricate characters. Six feet under is a masterpiece created and produced by Alan Ball.
I must say that watching the series has been an emotional ride unlike any I've ever been on. The actors, especially Lauren Ambrose, managed to deliver a stellar performance throughout all the episodes and the viewer cannot help but become emotionally invested with the characters. The five seasons eventually culminate into a finale that has never been seen before on TV. It was heart wrenching, it was smart, it was perfect, it was all so emotional. I doubt that there will ever be a show that delivers such drama, it's a definite watch and truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
