Laced with irony and dark situational humor, the show approaches the subject of death through the eyes of the Fisher family, who owns and operates a funeral home in Los Angeles. Peter Krause stars as Nate, who reluctantly becomes a partner in the funeral home after his father's death.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Six Feet Under overreaches in its fourth season, with twists and story arcs that feel more contrived than compelling, though its willingness to venture boldly into the dark also proves occasionally exhilarating.

Nothing is certain on Six Feet Under, except death and, of course. Go to Full Review Emily Nussbaum New York Magazine/Vulture Nov 7, 2017
It's unsurprising many viewers felt abused, and taken for a ride. But there's something thrilling, too, about creators willing to jeopardize their unspoken contract with their audience: to risk our loyalty in the name of something new. Go to Full Review Joel Brown New York Times Nov 7, 2017
Dark, funny stuff. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News Mar 30, 2020
2.5/4
Too often, the writers take the easy choice and rely on a curious mix of sex and depression... It still has its moments and some great acting, but these days too often it plays just like a "normal" soap opera. Go to Full Review Robert P. Laurence San Diego Union-Tribune Mar 13, 2018
2.5/4
The characters of Six Feet Under seem to have absorbed the funereal atmosphere of their surroundings all too well, and they and the story are sinking together into a perpetually glum morass. Go to Full Review Les Wright culturevulture.net Nov 7, 2017
Season Four forges on, sure-footedly, in the virtuoso standard the series set way back in season one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Esqueleto5678 T @RT15316404 Sep 12, 2026 It starts off incredibly strong with the first episode (9.5/10), but after that, it drops considerably. Not a single episode is good after that, and "That’s My Dog" has so many logical flaws and convenient moments. Honestly, this is a really bad season and the worst in the series. Extremely disappointing. 6/10.

I am glad the Lisa mystery is finally resolved, David overcame his fear and Claire discovered her talent, while Ruth deals with an increasingly unstable George.
