DVD Review: Six Feet Under Complete Gift Set Summary: 5 StarsWorth every penny, as this was my favorite HBO series by far. Great price - beats Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and all other on-line retailers I shopped!!
DVD Review: Box Set Cover: November 24, 2009 - November 24, 2009 Summary: 4 StarsFive stars for the show itself; five stars for this wonderful box set with all of its extras and its fabulous design. Zero stars for the condition of the case :( Like other reviewers have stated, the front flap/cover of the box was ripped off upon removing the plastic from it. I'm pretty sure my set was new and not used, and the package that came in the mail was not damaged. I think this is just a design flaw. I don't see how the flap *could* stay attached after opening once or twice. The joint where the flap joins the rest of the box is just paper - it's not reinforced by anything, and it's not really flexible or heavy-duty. I'm going to try to find some sort of archival-safe adhesive to try to put the pieces back together (the joint was visibly damaged upon receipt, and it ripped off completely the first time I gently opened it). I'm a little bummed about this, but at 51% off, this set was a great deal. The CDs and DVDs all appear to be in great shape - none were loose and none are scratched.
DVD Review: Exquisite television.... Summary: 5 StarsLet me add my voice to the 150+ reviewers who have sung the highest praises for this most spectacular TV series. Alan Ball definitely has his place secured in visual entertainment history. I especially like the way all the main characters interact in their own fantasies with the mentally-summoned deceased patriarch, Nathaniel Fisher. The scene early in the series where Nate discovers his father's secret "getaway" room that was given by a client in leiu of payment for services, and Nate envisions all the crazed and insane things the old man might have done there, is truly memorable. The main actors also have fantasy interactions with others deceased, both loved ones and funeral home clients, and I'll bet it's no coincidence that this same concept is used with similar effect in Michael Hall's current series, Dexter.
The last 10-15 minutes of the final episode, where the future is projected for all the main characters while Claire is driving off to seek her dreams, is one of the most emotionally stunning segments I have ever seen on TV or film. If you can watch it without getting an enourmous lump in your throat or tears flowing, you have more control than I. It is exquisite almost beyond description. There has never been a series that closed on a more poignant note, bar none.
DVD Review: Six Feet Under Forever! Summary: 5 StarsI knew from the television reviews and award shows that Six Feet Under was something special, but we don't subscribe to HBO or Showtime, so we miss out on a lot of such phenomena until we watch them on DVD. We recently began renting SFU from Blockbuster, but after the first episode or two we were addicted and couldn't wait for the mail rentals. I purchased the collector's edition instead, with the notion that we'd watch all 5 seasons this fall and then give it away as a Christmas gift. Well, my teenaged daughter and I devoured the dvd's in less than two weeks--and now I'm not sure if we can part with the set! This series is groundbreaking (pun intended)and I understand the acclaim. I concur with all the praise for the creators', directors', actors' and writers' talents. They've created real people here--and these folks stick with you! We actually MISS every character now that we're done with the series. We continue to ponder their lives, motives, and even their futures. The final episode gives them a life beyond the series, for which we are grateful, but we can't help missing them. Creating characters like those in Six Feet Under, who make such an impact and seem to have such staying power, is quite a feat.
Description of Six Feet Under - The Complete Series Gift SetRelive every minute of Alan Ball's poignantly dramatic, unpredictably hilarious masterpiece, from its powerful premiere episode to its critically-acclaimed, haunting finale.
