Okay man oh man how I wish I could have watched this series in real time. I started watching this a couple months ago when I stumbled upon it while scrolling on Netflix. I tried to binge it as much as I could but some days it was hard.

SPOIL ALERT!!!!!!!!

If you have never watched Six Feet Under, I suggest not reading this post. However, if you are curious about it then please feel free to continue to read on.

This show is about the Fisher family who own a funeral home and live within the home. You have the mom, who is really delicate and very senstive. She dresses like someone from the house in the prairie. Honestly she wasn’t my favorite character.

Next we have the dad, who literally dies within the first couple of episodes of season one. But don’t fret, he’s always around lurking. Coming to his children or his wife or even someone that was close to him. He seemed to live a miserable life and also had a secret life. He would venture to a secret room that was in the vicinity of a Mexican restaruant. We were told he wanted to go there veg out.

Son # 1 Nate Jr. He was set to live in Seattle but then ended up coming to back to Los Angeles when his father died. He really didn’t know what to do in life but ended up being a funeral director like his old man and his younger brother David. Nate lived almost a carefree life, I say almost because he was complicated. He wanted to do what he wanted but always had something in the back of his head that bugged him. He was eventually diagnosed with AVM, which has something to do with a brain aneurysm. He had to get an embolism so it could be temporarily taken care of. Nate eventually succumbed to his death in the final season of Six Feet Under, which honestly left me with tears streaming down my face. He was definately one of my favorite characters of the show.

Son # 2 David. David always seemed like he had something to prove. He was always trying to be perfect. He walked in his father’s footsteps becoming a funeral director. He had a battle from within realizing that he was gay. He eventually came out of the closet and ended up with a relationsip with a man from the start all the way until the very end of the series, whom we have come to love.

Daughter, Claire. I loved Claire, she was kind of a bad ass and she knew what she wanted. She wanted to be an artist. That was her goal in life. She was determined and ambitious. However, she had her demons. She couldn’t have a normal healthy relationship. She found herself ending up with men who were “needy”. In the end though she found her person and her success.

REVIEW!!

This show got me going from the start. With it’s humor and with its drama. The characters were thought of exquisitely. All the actors were amazing in this show and I couldn’t possily think about anyone else playing them. :

Nate Fisher Jr. played by Peter Krause

Claire Fisher played by Lauren Ambrose

David Fisher played by Michael C. Hall (Dexter)

Ruth Fisher (mom) playedby Frances Conroy

Nathanial Fisher Sr. played by Richard Jenkins

Like I said excellent choice in characters. So anyway the story had many ups and downs. A lot of having to do with the owning of a funeral home, but also a lot of relationship stuff.

I enjoyed this series so much and when the end came I cried hard and it stuck with me. I was involved with this people. It was like I was living with this people and experiencing everything they were going through. Nate and his relationships with Lisa and Brenda. Claire with her art obsession. David coming to terms being gay. Ruth trying to pursue relationships after being a widow.

I’m really going to miss the Fisher’s they were like family to me. But now I have to move on and find something else. If anyone has any recommendations please feel free to drop the name and the platform it’s on.

Thanks for reading as always!
