Six Feet Under: Six Feet Over
August 25, 2005 
I finally got to see the very last episode of Six Feet Under and it was like nothing I’ve ever seen on television before.
The way they ended the series was simply amazing.
I was just talking to someone about how I’ve connected with this show on a different kind of level than other shows I’ve watched regularly. She thought the show was way to dark and focused so much on death that it was depressing.
I didn’t see it that way. I saw it as a reaffirmation of how great life can be, despite the many boundaries and setbacks along the way.
Of course Six Feet Under focused on death — it was set mostly in a funeral home. But that was only superficially what the show was about. It investigated the importance of relationships, the doubts and fears all of us face, and what life should really be about.
And I figured all that out without seeing the first few seasons of the series. (That was BH — before HBO).
But wow, the people behind Six Feet Under couldn’t have wrapped up the storylines and the characters’ lives in a better way. Simply captivating.
