	A poignant, satisfying end for 'Six Feet Under' - The Boston Globe
		At last, ''Six Feet Under" leaped out of its day-to-day angst and into the closure of the long view, set to the heightened strains of a song called ''Breathe Me" by Sia.
		The aging makeup on the characters was sketchy at times, and yet that fit the sequence's rampant embalming of the characters.
		Obviously, ''Six Feet Under" never shied away from the subject of death, but its last moments were an orgy of mortality.

	Cutting Itself Off With Edge (washingtonpost.com)
		Watching "Six Feet Under," the HBO drama about an extended family whose locus is an inherited funeral home, regular viewers may be getting the feeling that executive producer Alan Ball and his writers are using their show to get even with some of the ghastly nasties who've crossed their paths.
		Ratings for "Six Feet Under" are down by a million viewers from last season and another million from the season before that, and complaints about the show appear to be increasing.
		The problem is not limited to "Six Feet Under." One might almost say that HBO is stuck with a counterproductive case of the blues.

		Six Feet Under went from being one of the most brilliant tv series to hit the air in the last decade its first season, to being a boring, pseudo-macabre soap opera during this third horrid season.
		Six Feet Under never jumped, sure, there are some cheesy episodes, and some boring episodes, but I can always find something that I like and the acting is superb, there is nothing like it on regular TV, and I watch it every Sunday.
		Six Feet Under turns this convention on its head; in no way was Claire made a champion of a cause by her actions.

		The final episodes of Six Feet Under focused all their melodramatic energy on a messy emotional reckoning that (as someone who experienced a lot of personal loss in the last year can vouch) felt all too authentic.
		These were characters in constant, painful transformation, suffering frequent reversals that were as often as not self-inflicted.
		Ball refuses to allow us an open-ended fantasy of characters carrying on forever in televisual immortality; he even mocks this idea by having a wrinkled Brenda expire (whether of old age or boredom is not clear) while brother Billy drones on about his need for emotional closure.

	Six Feet Under (TV series) - A Hollywood Jesus Television Review
		In some ways, HBO's Six Feet Under plays kid brother to stellar BMOC The Sopranos: it's spunkier, less refined, chancier, and a bit of a punk.
		The initial season was a showcase for the most original characters, including tight-lipped brother David (Michael C. Hall) coming out of the closet, emotionally trippy mom Ruth (Frances Conroy), and the most complex girlfriend on the face of the planet, Brenda (Rachel Griffiths).
		In the early seasons, their mother Ruth was experiencing a new freedom that came with the death of her husband.

		In its fifth and final season, "Six Feet Under" continues to be a relentless downer, which isn't much of a surprise.
		That's long gone, but the pleasant surprise now is that "Six Feet Under" seems to have righted itself, rebounding from last year's creatively unpleasant capsizing that hinted at boredom or, worse, incompetence in the writing room.
		"Six Feet Under" appears to be approaching death, loss, unmet expectations, failed dreams and life's painful twists in the same dramatic manner that earned it high critical praise and a loyal audience.

		Saying goodbye to "Six Feet Under" was, unexpectedly, an emotional wrenching experience, more memorable and invigorating and heartbreaking than I could ever have imagined it would be.
		But the characters of "Six Feet Under" felt as familiar and as inscrutable as siblings: They pressed into my dreams, invaded my psyche, made me angry and sad and hopeful.
		More than the fully imagined characters or the daunting circumstances of their lives, the show tackled the ambiguity and confusion that's an unavoidable element of our lives.

	Six Feet Under
		Six Feet Under tends to be unfavorably compared, HBO’s new series about the lives and loves—and deaths—of a southern California family of undertakers treats its audience to a cross-section of contemporary American types and attitudes.
		The tone, the characters, the humor, the tragedy, the surrealistic qualities of everyday life all balance uneasily between the sublime and the banal of real people’s lives.
		Six Feet Under pilot is interspersed with several send-ups, mock-commercials hawking products to enhance the funeral performance (embalming fluid as suntan lotion, funeral coaches as quasi-1950s height of elegant status, or funeral supplies as a Gap commercial dance performance).

	DVD review of Six Feet Under: The Complete Third Season - DVD Town
		I have waxed lyrical about “Six Feet Under” before in my previous two glowing reviews about the show but this time, I have decided to take a step back and re-evaluate the show along its evolutionary lines, from its ground-breaking first season to this, the show’s third season.
		The mere fact that the characters and the stories are so deliciously dark and so maddeningly real should be proof enough that “Six Feet Under” should be on top of everyone’s favorite TV shows list.
		For “Six Feet Under”, every single one of its regular characters is undeniably fascinating, ultimately appealing and full of different shades of color.

		It occurs to me that there may be some people who still watch Six Feet Under for reasons other than the fact that it is on between reruns of The Wire and Da Ali G Show, and I have this to say to you: You should be ashamed of yourselves.
		Six Feet Under is pretentious only when Claire and her art school friends are around…that is, it’s a pretentious quality that is necessary to shape those characters.
		I think the acting’s fine, but the melodramatic story arcs for each character are veering into Lars Von Trier territory (not a compliment): let’s shove this character through a narrative meatgrinder and call it “real”.

		As it returns for a second season of 13 episodes, "Six Feet Under" introduces not only a new cast of corpses, but Death himself, a cigar-smoking wiseacre in a business suit, and Life, a genial, spirited woman who's game for an occasional carnal encounter with the Grim Reaper.
		Yet, even together, the yin and yang of immortality are not enough to breathe new life into "Six Feet Under," which last year broke ground in TV drama with its portrait of a family that functions successfully only as long as its members concentrate on their unusual business.
		Creator-producer Alan Ball wrote Sunday's first episode, which returns us to the peculiar universe of "Six Feet Under." Brothers Nate and David Fisher (Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall), you'll recall, are operating the Fisher & Sons Funeral Home after the death of their father, Nathaniel.

		Six Feet Under is not just a smartly written, sublimely acted soap that happens to be set in a funeral home; it's a profound mixture of emotional truths and whimsical fl comedy that uses its setting to comment upon the way we live, with the omnipresent spectre of death throwing life's problems into sharp relief.
		The second series of Six Feet Under ended not so long ago, and it's gone and left the same void in my life that the first one did when it reached it's dramatic climax last year.
		Six Feet Under tells the story of a family-run funeral home that has just been inherited by two brothers, Nathanial and David Fisher, after the passing of their father.

	Radley Balko on Six Feet Under and Abortion on National Review Online
		Each episode opens with a death vignette, usually someone unrelated to the show's main characters, but who eventually becomes a Fisher "client," and whose life, death or grieving relatives somehow color and underscore the ensuing episode's themes.
		Because within that framework, Six Feet Under is in many ways one of the most morally instructive dramas on television.
		But the show refuses to punish its characters for human failures, the kinds of lapses in judgment and temporary faults we're all guilty of from time to time, the kind that make us mortal.

	DVD review of Six Feet Under: The Complete Second Season - DVD Town
		The first season of “Six Feet Under” was released, believe it or not, in February of last year.
		Fortunately, “Six Feet Under” only has three seasons under its belt--with the fourth season currently underway--which leaves fans who rely on the DVD release effort to catch up on the story, only a single season behind.
		As you will eventually see, “Six Feet Under”’s formula for success can be found in every episode, starting with a heartbreaking opening death scene, followed by a compelling middle and closing with a reflective and often cliffhanger ending.

	Dropping the Ball - The overrating of Six Feet Under. By Emily Nussbaum
		In this season's 13 episodes, the characters have been treated to violent mental illness, encounters with the Russian mafia, an errant shotgun, sex addiction, a brain tumor, a daughter Nate never knew existed, and a hit-and-run accident—a series of events so melodramatic they cease to be affecting.
		Six Feet Under may have won an outrageous 23 Emmy nominations, but it's really just Ally McBeal in mortality drag: dream sequences, romanticized narcissism, fake-o self-conscious dialogue, meaning-of-life montages and all.
		The characters may be grown-ups, but the show isn't about death and mortality at all; it's about adolescence—and not real, morally complex adolescence (the rich subject of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, perpetually snubbed at the Emmys) but creative adolescence, art that only pretends to take risks.

		In keeping with the program, the fourth round of "Six Feet Under" gets started Sunday, a year after concluding its most recent season.
		Now, the characters of "Six Feet Under" seem to have absorbed the funereal atmosphere of their surroundings all too well, and they and the story are sinking together into a perpetually glum morass.
