★★★★★ six feet under
i loved this show when it was on hbo i am so glad i bought it because it is just a great show.
★★★★★ A study of life and death
I don't have HBO, so I come to all their series late. Six Feet Under caught my eye initially as a re-run on some random cable channel. I was hooked enough to borrow the discs from my library and watch all the episodes. What a wonderful example of the trial we all go through in death and in life. I liked (and disliked) all the main characters at one point, but there is no mistaking their humanity, the way that sometimes we too are all afraid or eager or disappointed in our life and struggling to be who we really want to be or just trying to figure things out.
The ending (which I won't spoil here) is one of the best series endings I have ever seen. It is sad, it is touching, and it is 100% appropriate to the show and it's subject: the Fisher family and death. I would watch this series over and over for it's love, it's family, and it's frank discussions on death and how we all deal with it.

★★★★★ best birthday gift ever
My husband has been saying for years how much he missed the HBO show Six Feet Under. So when his birthday came around I immediately remembered how much he liked the show. when he opened the complete series he nearly fell off the couch with excitement. The set is beautiful, it opens up like and accordian folder with all the discs in the folders. And the photos, the artwork....it's fantastic. We're currently in the middle of season 2 and it just keeps getting better.
★★★★★ The whole six feet
I was never very interested in this show for a few reasons. First, the name of the show made it sound a little morbid, and second, I am not a subscriber to HBO. I began watching the reruns on UniversalHD which were severely cut for cable television. My interest in the show was almost immediate. As I looked online to purchase one season at a time, I came across the complete series which was actually cheaper on Amazon that each of the five seasons individually. The packaging is great and resembles a picture book. It has photos of many of the monumental scenes from each season on the pockets that store the DVDs. Also included is an "In memoriam" booklet that details the lives of each of the main characters beyond the series' finale.
The series itself is one of best written and directed programs that I have ever watched, especially season 4, my favorite. There are always ongoing sub plots that are so well incorporated into the episode that they never take away from the story of the person who has passed on and whose funeral will take place during the episode. The series' finale was without a doubt one of (if not the) best endings of any show ever. Watching some of the DVD extras was really incredible. The directors take us behind the scenes to show so many of the special effects that were used throughout the series. All in all, it was some of the best entertainment money that I have ever spent. My only regrets with this purchase (and the series itself) are: first, that I waited so long to open my mind enough to buy it and second that the series had to come to an end.

★★★★★ Awesome Series!
This is a fantastic series! Both intriguing and disturbing, but that is what makes it great! I can watch this over and over again and still pick up something new in the characters, plot, etc. I highly recommend this series to those that like to be kept on their toes and enjoy watching something completely off the wall! :)
