Six Feet Under (2001–2005)
10/10
One of the most profound TV series ever made

This show is so good I lost the review I had just finished writing and I am writing it again from memory.

I just finished balling over the finale, which is probably the most beautifully perfect ending of any series ever.

The only thing I remember thinking during it was how incredible it is that someone can create such characters that whilst being played by actors feel more alive than 80% of the actual people walking the streets.

That's what I would say is magic of this show, that no matter how lost each of the characters gets in their experiences, they never lose their soul, they come back to their essence, they keep on living, they don't give up on themselves. And the finale really showcased that.

I loved many things about this series: the fact that it went head in with death, such a present theme in all our lives that we try so hard to ignore, the humor, the way it showcases many different points of view on life, God, meaning etc and lets the viewer make up his own mind.

Even the one thing that bothered me was part of something I loved: at some point watching the characters repeat their patterns over and over again got heavy, difficult to watch, which is a tribute to how real they managed to make it.
