If that's not enough, the music they choose to score the episodes is almost symbiotic it seems ingrained into the film itself, even when you know it was just licensed. The cinematography is also staggering sometimes, taken from film rather than typical 3-camera TV work. Regardless, every one of them radiates with a sometimes painfully familiar pathos. I've always found Peter Krause to be a disappointingly flat performer, which is unfortunate because his character anchors the show, but the other actors are often transcendent. Every single installment is part of a huge puzzle, or a few more miles on the Fisher family's road.
Even more, there are no stand-alone episodes for easy syndication. After poring over everything I'd seen over the past season, it struck me that SFU is the most raw and personal television show I've ever seen.
SIX FEET UNDER ECOTONE REVIEW SERIES
After watching the series finale (which I won't spoil, don't worry), I sat in bed, unable to sleep. It changed the way I view television, and I recommend it to anyone who's tired of the same old crap. At times wrenching, at other times cathartic, but always staring back at you knowingly, this show stands head and shoulders above the advertising-driven fare that clogs network TV with mediocrity, token minorities, and jarring commercial breaks. One way or another, it will connect with you, perhaps in places you didn't expect and aren't willing to expose. Six Feet Under is meticulous, beautiful, daunting, and powerful.
