DVD Reviews of Six Feet Under - The Complete Series Gift Set
DVD Review: The Hard Goodbye.
Summary: 5 Stars
When "Six Feet Under" first aired in 2001, people were adamant about the idea of a Family-Run Funeral home, of which is supposed to make good television drama and with its satirical dark humour and very real characters. It seemed like a lot to gauge for a show that would constantly display death. Then again, death is a touchy subject to everyone, where do we go, what of the soul and more importantly, how we deal with it, and do we ever deal with it.
Funnily enough the idea for this show is original, who ever had the idea first wins in that respect; they get to clarify an unlooked upbringing of a Family Business and way of life for those who `cater' the dearly departed.
Result; This great show has introduced us to the Fisher Family. A lovable, quirky, witty retort type of what can be called "dysfunctional" clique, which would evidently be used as a comparison for future generations of TV clans.
You may think it would be depressing, when in fact the show is surrounded in clairvoyance. The episodic structure follows that of some random loved (or unloved) person dying at the beginning of the episode through to the eventuality that the Fishers are the one who take care of the recently passed.
The Cast; An excellently played bunch of mishaps that are such a winning clich? with each other that they come together to depict an idea of family. Peter Krause plays older extroverted son Nate Fisher Jr., named after his dearly departed father who starts off the first series (season). Nate is not built for the job but finds that being drafted as funeral director may have its merits. Nate also introduces us to his on and off love of his life Brenda Chenowith (Rachel Griffiths) whom is an Australian actor with a killing worked state-side accent. She's a pious talking sexually inhibited deviant and we love her, and she develops into a wonderfully woven character.
Middle child now fully licensed Funeral Director David Fisher (Michael C. Hall) a character pushed into a business role vacated by a late father, but doesn't gloat and makes it worth something to him. He plays the in-closet Homosexual whom is seeing his supportive and well played character and partner to be Keith Charles (Mathew St. Patrick). The grieving mother and wife, quirky and lovable Ruth Fisher, played by Frances Conroy who's variety of theatre acting pays off every little bit. And finally the youngest Claire Fisher, played by the gorgeous Lauren Ambrose, who just about reflects teenage life without giving off the false sense of adolescence played by stereotypical teens in say The OC. The inevitable wild-child, whose dalliances with an array of class A substances give us a comedy and just all round fun experiences.
Families on TV, especially American TV could learn much from this, and have. It's easy to spot the similarities in shows like "Dirty Sexy Money", "Dexter" and "Brothers & Sisters". TV drama found a mark that explored more boundaries than Scott Bakula did in Quantum Leap, more frontiers than Star Trek.
It's hard to go back to the atypical TV-centred families of so called modern life. A dark satirical backdrop of a Family-Run Funeral home opens up a more accurate approximation of current life and all its density.
Verdict:
Short but sweet, stays with you like the memory of a loved one. 10/10. Six Feet Under, you will be sadly and forever missed.
DVD Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for $150 cheaper than retail value and it came in perfect condition. It even came with 2 soundtrack CDs! I received the set right on time as well! Thank you, thank you! :)DVD Review: One disc faulty so far

I'm watching the series through now and I've received ONE faulty disc so far that stalls. The box came in shreds and looked beat up. Was NOT impressed.DVD Review: Entertaining and Addictive
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Boxset little over a month ago and I can tell you that it's worth all your money and then some. The characters are so well thought out that you'll be in situations where you won't even think "this is a TV show". I started watching it on the first day and couldn't stop, went through 2-3 episodes a night before going to bed. It's definitely not a show to watch with your kids or younger ones around so bare that in mind. I absolutely adore this boxset. I actually bought it without even seeing a preview or episode, so if your into deep human interactions do yourself a favor and pick this up.DVD Review: Great show
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't have HBO back when this show originally aired but I'd heard good things about it, and I found it on sale, so I decide to take a chance and ordered all 5 seasons. I was captivated right from the start. This show is funny, gross, heart warming and heart wrenching all at the same time. It's seriously one of the best shows I've ever watched. Plus, unlike other shows (i.e The Sopranos), the finial episode of this series didn't suck! It wraps up everything nicely and leaves you feeling satisfied not disappointed.
It's a great show and I recommend it 100%
One note of caution... One of the characters in this series is gay and there are quite a few scenes throughout the series that depict gay sex and gay relationships. So if that is something that offends you then you may want to avoid this series. Personally it caught me a little off guard at first, as it's not something I'm accustom to seeing, but it did not detract from my enjoyment of the series.
