Six Feet Under

2001–2005 · 5 seasons

A slow, emotionally raw immersion into a family's messy life and mortality, balancing bleak humour with profound tenderness.

Tagline: Life is pain, get use to it.
Overview: When death is your business, what is your life? For the Fisher family, the world outside of their family-owned funeral home continues to be at least as challenging as—and far less predictable than—the one inside.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, satirical and warm. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Death, family, grief, identity
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence and gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
