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 11/07/2017
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

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

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

Season Four forges on, sure-footedly, in the virtuoso standard the series set way back in season one. Go to Full Review

JUAN ESTEBAN G Aug 27 Gran temporada, posiblemente la segunda peor pero aun asi sigue siendo excelente See more Pablo Y @Pablo1996 11/16/2023 La cuarta temporada recupera el gancho de sus respectivos personajes a través de un desarrollo argumental mucho más adulto, oscuro y trágico, pero con esas pinceladas típicas de una serie que se erige como un buen manual para el arte de vivir. See more 09/12/2019 Probably the worst season,it's still really good though. See more 10/03/2015 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.
