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.

4/4
Let me say right up front that somehow Alan Ball, the creator/writer found a way to push the envelope so far that we were all left speechless. And breathless. Go to Full Review

Six Feet Under is back for another season of harsh life lessons and deliciously dark humour. It has been far too long. Go to Full Review
John Doyle Globe and Mail 03/30/2020
Immensely smart and elegiac. It is a fitting conclusion to what has been a magnificent fifth season for the drama. Go to Full Review

Besides its weekly sardonic look at mortality, the shows portrayal of homosexuality and lesbianism has been unflinching. Go to Full Review

3/4
After dedicating four seasons to watching them lose loved ones, discover painful things about themselves and desperately try to change their self-destructive ways, it practically seems mandatory to discover how their journey ends. Go to Full Review

Cem Y @cmyldz23 03/19/2024 This comment is not only for this season, but for the whole series. I was hearing very good comments about this series and it has become a 'must' to see it. Now that I watched it I feel that those comments were exaggerating this series. Yes, it covers a very important topic and pushes you to think about death. However, there is literally no character in the movie who lives a believable life. Every character is a drama queen and there is always some sort of a conflict. Resolutions of these conflicts are not defendable in most cases. Sexuality is excessive and the series does not allow you to feel good about some character. You just watch a couple of adults who have teenager mentalities and nobody grows up. Same mistakes are repeated and the series goes on. A topic as deep as "death" should had some sort of weight requiring a more serious product. See more Pablo Y @Pablo1996 11/18/2023 La quinta temporada de 'A dos metros bajo tierra' lleva el tono melancólico que ha caracterizado las experiencias de los Fisher a nuevas profundidades, sumergiéndonos en un torrente de emociones a medida que se desarrollan los capítulos finales. La complejidad y la brillantez de la serie alcanzan su apogeo en esta última entrega, culminando en un epílogo que podría considerarse no solo el mejor jamás rodado en la televisión, sino posiblemente una de las joyas más preciosas en la historia de las artes escénicas.

See more Ewa K @ewaewaewaewaewaewaewa 01/07/2023 MUST SEE, and the music from Sia i just heart breaking and maching to the BEST END EVER! See more Herb F @herb.fuchs 10/03/2021 1st time viewer tried Season 5 and loved it. Fascinating theme set in funeral home with interesting characters and story lines. Definitely get dvd for the extras like director and actor commentaries. Update- now completed Seasons 1-4 and still highly recommend with the exception of one episode in season 4 (titled that's my dog) with extreme and unnecessary violence against the David's character See more 08/06/2021 Hands down the best TV show ever made. Six Feet Under deserves a reboot or even better, season 6. See more Read all reviews
