DVD Reviews of Six Feet Under - The Complete Fourth Season
DVD Review: Grabbing at straws here!!
Summary: 3 Stars
Season 4 has definitely lost something, unlike the mysterious and moody best seasons so far, Season 1 and 2. What I am seeing and feeling is directors and writers are just throwing anything bizarre at the viewers. Here, let's throw some crap at viewers and see if it sticks, especially when "excrement" is delivered to Ruth and her new hubby George, plus this storyline with George's son didn't go anywhere. And Nate's continuous struggle with his dead wife and clearly, goes a little over the top too.
Also, Rico's problems at home seem unreal. I seriously doubt that Vanessa would reject him after a one night stand and paying attention and little money to a dancer. Culturally, it doesn't seem right. It's cheesy and Vanessa's character is not one to ignore her children and party every night. Not so. And if you need to use children, can you make them more believable, instead of robot kids.
Although so much is thrown into each episode, scenes are shorter, except with the lengthy drawn out bizarre scene with David and the hitchhiker who threatens his life.
Where is the mood?
What is lacking is the mood and mysteriousness of previous seasons. You could watch those with anticipation, anxiety, fear, and most of all with a sense of morbidity. But Season Four is trying to move to quick, too much, go over the edge as quick and bizarre as one can get.
Directors/Writers are lacking quality script writing
In previous seasons, Keith was a strong, proud, gay man, now he is turned into a wimpy boring, security guard and scriptwriting is cheesy, lacking depth, cliche, etc. What happened? Even the commentaries are boring. What's the use?
Calling All Perverts
Seems that there was a casting call for All Perverts. Do we really need more perverts this season? Brenda and Billy were enough, now you have thrown in bondage. And get rid of Brenda's mom, nothing but slutty comes from the character. What purpose is she serving?
Toward the end of season 4 is just TOO MUCH SEX GOIN' ON!
I hope Season 5 is better. .....Rizzo.
DVD Review: The Worst of the Best
Summary: 4 Stars
Six Feet Under is a great show. Season 4 is a good season of a great show. The first episode of Season 4 is one of the best of the entire series and could almost be another finale to Season 3. Season 4's biggest problem is that it is a transition season. It starts off right where 3 left us, with Nate at Brenda's door. Half of the season is Nate getting over what happened in Season 3. I found that the Season struggled to find a place for Claire and for David. The big event in David's life in Season 4 is not needed in the show. It's really only important near the end of Season 5. Claire is off rebelling against her terrible choices with men by making more mistakes with art school crazies. With all this being said, the reason to watch Season 4 is for the first episode and so you know what's going on at the beginning of Season 5. I love the show so I loved Season 4 but I think it was struggling to move on to what became Season 5. My least favorite of the 5 seasons.DVD Review: Ten Feet Tops
Summary: 5 Stars
I consider "Six Feet Under", to be a tremendous movie. It is informative and very much alive throughout all of the seasonal episodes. Second time I've watched it and enjoy every episodes. I would love to see Peter Krause and Michael Hall in a really romantic gay movie. They would be outstanding in it, I am sureDVD Review: Character evolution
Summary: 4 Stars
The fourth of five seasons of this highly acclaimed show contains episodes
which never fail to provoke thoughtful reflection. "I've felt that!" "I've thought that!" "I've feared that!" Multi-layered characters involve you in their lives as they evolve. I rarely catch on to series, but this one is a keeper (which is why I'm buying my own DVD's of each season.
If you can't see at least a part of yourself in one of the lead characters, regardless of your sexuality, then you haven't lived :)
DVD Review: Depressing, but good
Summary: 5 Stars
It was a great season. It was more depressing than the other, proceeding seasons, but it was still a great season none the less. I definitely recommend it for any previous Six Feet Under fans.
Description of Six Feet Under - The Complete Fourth Season
There's a new pecking order at the Fisher & Diaz funeral home, but Nate, Ruth, David and Claire still try to make every day above ground a good one. Death and dysfunction are par for the course in The Complete Fourth Season of Six Feet Under.DVD Features:
Audio Commentary:7 Audio commentaries w/ Alan Ball, writers and directors on episodes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12

Featurette:Cut By Cut: Editing Six Feet Under--a featurette on how an episode is put together in the editing room
This penultimate season of Six Feet Under continues further down the darkly disturbing path so evident in the third season. To be sure, the signature--and ultimately undefinable--blend of tragic mishap with tripped-out comic eccentricity that has stamped the series from its debut remains pervasive. It's the concentration of the mix that has changed. Leavening moments seem less organic, much as the bizarre death sequences that open each episode often turn out to be rather contrived preludes to the ensuing thematic obsessions. Which isn't to say season 4 lacks the delightfully memorable quirkiness fans have grown to expect. Recurring incidents of fecal revenge bring tensions to the surface between Ruth (Frances Conroy) and her new husband George (James Cromwell), in turn leading to young intern Arthur's resignation (Rainn Wilson's spot-on characterization is so enjoyable that his self-imposed exile from the Fisher nest early in the season is a real loss). Ruth meanwhile hooks up again briefly with the irrepressible Bettina (Kathy Bates) for an excursion south of the border.
But brooding glimpses into chaos beneath the surface provide the emotional momentum of this season, right from the opening scene, as Nate (Peter Krause) inevitably gravitates back toward Brenda (Rachel Griffiths) in the aftermath of his wife's death. As usual, writers and directors vary for each episode, but the dark eccentricities of creator Alan Ball's original characters have become more sharply focused and sustained. We seem to spend even more time viewing the world through individual points of view: Nate's roiling anger and grief or Claire's (Lauren Ambrose) newfound sexual and artistic experimentation as she learns about "grinding the corn" and attains respect as a photographer. The toxicity of relationships continues to be a preoccupation. We get the Ruth-George meltdown as well as the painful unraveling of Rico's (Freddy Rodriguez) marriage to Vanessa (Justina Machado). But the most harrowing episode follows David (Michael C. Hall) through an increasingly perilous carjacking. This nightmarish fugue, midway through, ripples out into the rest of the season, posing another threat to his tenuous relationship with Keith (Matthew St. Patrick). It sets a course for further apocalyptic imagery of environmental collapse and fallout shelters. There's little to gentle the downward slide and exposure of vulnerability, save taking refuge in the quirkiness that seems to be the Fishers' birthright. But that, as they say, is to die for. --Thomas May
