DVD Description
When death is your business, what is your life? For the Fisher family, the world outside of their family-owned funeral home continues to be at least as challenging as --and far less predictable than --the one inside. From Oscar-winning screenwriter Alan Ball (American Beauty) comes this breakout series that takes a darkly comic look at members of a dysfunctional L.A. family that runs a funeral business. With Peter Krause, Frances Conroy, Michael C. Hall, Lauren Ambrose and Rachel Griffiths. This box set contains all five seasons of the show that changed the landscape of television forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best TV shows ever!, 26 Feb 2007
I first bought series one a few years back. I'd heard good things about Six Feet Under but must admit a TV show about a funeral home and death sounded, well quite morbid and depressing! I took a risk about bought series one anyway and it was just amazing. Very touching, moving but also very funny at times and far from depressing and morbid. Alan Ball is such an original writer!

Since then I bought each series as it came out. They've all been very good, although season 3 and 4 were probably my least favourite. Still good but not quite as brilliant as the first 2.

Season 5 was a truly amazing and also very fitting end to this inspiring TV show. The very last part of the last episode is so, so moving - I defy anyone not to shed a tear!

So my final words ( not literally I hope ) are - GO BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars In memoriam, 12 April 2006
By yformant - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
American TV enjoyed something of a cultural revolution at the turn of the millennium, and along with the likes of The Sopranos, The West Wing and 24, Six Feet Under's five seasons showcase a time when TV dramas began to rival those found on the big screen in terms of scope, production, script-writing, acting and directing standards, and redefined the possibilities open to television series (and it would be rude to leave out the incredible work and achievements of SFU's make-up department). Conceived by American Beauty writer Alan Ball, the five hard-hitting seasons of Six Feet Under chronicle the lives of the dysfunctional Fisher family and its undertaking business run from its funeral home. Every character is spotlessly observed and grows with the seasons, and as a viewer you feel you learn about life (and death) along with them and their experiences. Such is the power of the script that you never feel that it's just some kind of horrible pseudo-philosophical psychobabble being spouted - Six Feet Under truly makes you think about things that you'd rather you didn't have to.

Equal parts black comedy and maudlin sentimentality, as a rule each episode begins with a (usually highly imaginative) death that brings business the Fishers' way and often relevance to their own lives. The show, naturally, fundamentally presents the viewer with issues of mortality and grief, but casts a much wider thematic net, incorporating the sexuality, growing pains and mental and physical illnesses of the main and supporting characters. To go into more detail would be to spoil the well-crafted plot development and twists for those coming into this DVD release dry. Suffice to say, the majority of the human spectrum is captured perfectly and imaginatively. Some scenes and storylines are genuinely uncomfortable to watch, but in the right way.

From the pilot to the haunting, show-stopping (quite literally, obviously) finale, the series maintained an incredibly high standard throughout its 64-episode run. Such was the impact of the first two seasons, the following couple struggled to live up to their impeccable standards in the eyes of some, but never did it become anything less than compelling, and by the time it reached the final season, it was once again every inch as good as those early episodes.

The show enjoyed a timely death, bowing out in style, producing one of the most memorable and emotive closures in television's history. A painful death for fans to cope with, sure, but it left a beautiful corpse, as the saying goes. It will never return from the grave, but if there's any justice, this tour de force will never be allowed to rest in peace. This complete DVD collection gathers each separate DVD box set release and replaces each's outerbox with a black slimline slipcase, placing them together in a sturdy cardboard case, suitably resembling a gravestone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing in every respect, 12 April 2007
By Mr. R. Wills - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I generally don't write reviews on Amazon but after watching this series I felt it would be criminal not to. I don't think there will ever be anything as good as this series made for a long time to come. I believe it is excellently scripted and acted and everything inbetween. Throughout it challenged me to think and made me laugh and cry many times. There are so many absolutely heart rendering moments scattered across all five seasons. And what an ending. Brilliant job, HBO. If you haven't seen this yet, I am very jealous of the journey you will take if you decide to buy and watch this series.
