Ends 12/30 More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Six Feet Under Season 4 All Critics (9) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (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. Mar 13, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… Robert P. Laurence San Diego Union-Tribune Season Four forges on, sure-footedly, in the virtuoso standard the series set way back in season one. Nov 7, 2017 | Full Review… Les Wright culturevulture.net But in a show whose ethos has been strongly tied to how we can't have the answers to everything, Untitled feels like Six Feet Under trying desperately to suggest the opposite. Nov 7, 2017 | Full Review… Ross Bonaime Paste Magazine At this rate, Ball is lucky his HBO colleague David Milch has snagged the phrase "Deadwood," or I'd be suggesting it as "Six Feet Under"'s new alternate title. Sep 25, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review… Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Top Critic Nothing is certain on Six Feet Under, except death and, of course. Nov 7, 2017 | Full Review… Austin Smith New York Post Top Critic 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. Nov 7, 2017 | Full Review… Emily Nussbaum New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic Dark, funny stuff. Nov 7, 2017 | Full Review… Joel Brown New York Times Top Critic I love that when Nate and David are driving to get Lisa's body, Nate-even in his severely depressed state-still does the big-brother thing of teasing David about his boyfriend. Nov 6, 2017 | Full Review… John Teti AV Club Top Critic At some point, however -- and that point is the first episode in this fourth season -- it all becomes too much, too arch, too ridiculous and trying and forced. Sep 25, 2017 | Full Review… Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (9) Audience Reviews for Six Feet Under: Season 4 ½ Season 4 continues from the happy ending of season 3 with a lot of misery. 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.
