Six Feet Under is an American drama television series released by HBO on June 3, 2001, and ending on August 21, 2005, after five seasons consisting of 63 episodes. The show follows the Fisher family, who run a funeral home in Los Angeles. On one level, the show is a conventional family drama, dealing with such issues as interpersonal relationships, sex, masculine homosexuality, dysfunction, infidelity, personal growth, and religion. At the same time, it is distinguished by its focus on the topic of death, which it explores on personal, religious, and philosophical levels. Most episodes begin with a death, the cause of which ranges from heart attack to murder to accidental death or sudden infant death syndrome. That death usually sets the thematic tone for each episode, allowing the characters to reflect on their current fortunes and misfortunes in a way that is illuminated by the death and its aftermath. A recurring plot device consists of a character having an imaginary conversation with the deceased; for example, Nate, David, and Federico sometimes "converse" with the deceased at the beginning of the episode, while the corpse is being embalmed, or during funeral planning or the funeral itself. Sometimes, the characters converse with other deceased characters, most notably Nathaniel Fisher Sr. The show's creator Alan Ball said this represents the living characters' internal dialogues expressed in the form of external conversations. Six Feet Under received acclaim, particularly for its writing and acting, and drew high ratings. It is regarded as one of the greatest television series of all time. The series finale, "Everyone's Waiting", has also been described as one of the greatest in television. Its awards include nine Emmy Awards, three Actor Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and a Peabody Award. *en.wikipedia.org* Web D/L encoded at 1080p.H265.AAC Dolby Surround with soft English subtitles in mkv container
