The very best ending of any show ever. I watch the last 10 minutes of the finale whenever I lose perspective on life. When I need to remind myself to appreciate every minute of my life. It gives me a wonderfully spiritual boost to go out and LIVE!
My wife was killed violently in what now, is an often viewed plane crash out of Miami in 2005. Following her death I had no one but my two cats. I began watching Six Feet Under while grief was at its most raw, this was not intentional. A Friend brought the first episode on a DVD she'd checked out from the library. I was living alone with the cats on our recently purchased sailboat, a small confined space that added a sense of close intimacy with the characters. The show became a comforting friend in a way that no one else could. I related to the characters in a manners that is difficult to articulate. As if they were my extended family. The final episode has stayed with me ever since, as the Fisher family died one by one, I grieved for them, myself, Michele. It got me through the worst of what was the most excruciatingly painful period of my life. The series has stayed with me ever since, perhaps the best writing on any television ever produced. Thank you to all of the actors that brought their humanity to the characters, and especially the foresight of Alan Ball.
I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. I have watched the whole series of Six Feet Under several times. Every time I’ve watched it I’ve learned something new. Greatest series ever!
There will never be a show that will remotely come close to the raw human emotion it bought to the screen each week. This show was literally, and I mean LITERALLY a catalyst for my changing my life 10 years ago.
+lordkaido it's not for everyone, but you have to be willing to engage in a more emotional and cerebral level-- this isn't mindless entertainment, it's Art.
I love how dark the show was, broaching taboo topics other than just death. Personally I didn't adore the final sequence as much as most people seem to, I think it was almost a little too seamless in contrast to the bluntness of a lot of the show, but I appreciate its attempt at honouring this family that we came to know and love. One of the most powerful storylines I think was Lisa going missing - I think the show did an absolutely fantastic job of portraying the utter helplessness of Nate not knowing what happened, his life just stops. The way they showed "the waiting" which eventually became a loss of hope was just incredible television. As some of the funeral directors in this video said, you just don't know how or when grief is going to manifest. My father died about 2 years ago and I didn't cry that day or at his funeral but sometimes I'll see a dog and just lose it - in his later years he pretty much stopped speaking altogether but communicated a lot with his big soulful eyes, just like dogs do. The show does a really good job of the internal emotional journey and how people continue to connect to their dead loved ones.
I've never had a show completely draw me in like this. You feel these people. You feel like you know them. You know dozens of little details about each of them. They feel like real three dimensional people and you love some of them, you hate some of them (Brenda's parents) and if you suddenly found yourself in a long car ride with one of them, you could have a full conversation with them.
I mourned when Nate passed away. .like literally people, I remember getting so damned angry next day at work when a fellow employee said he never liked Nathan anyways and I just lost it on him......Lol....sort of embarrassing in retrospect but just shows the power of this series to attach you too it's characters.
I hated that Nate died, even though he was a dick. But I think George of all people summed it up at his eulogy. “Nate struggled his entire life, to be a good man. He wasn’t perfect.” Before he died, he did Brenda wrong.
I understand. I mourned when this flawed character died. But I mourn more for the people in my life who didn't / can't / won't watch SFU for whatever reason. "I don't like that kind of show" isn't good enough. Please be open minded and be willing to watch a show that presents a different perspective. Even if you don't agree with the show's personal politics re homosexuality - or the characters' honesty in fully expressing an opinion about ideas that matter - then please agree to at least affirm this show's bravery. Integrity is one of the things that matters most.
I bought the box set it was the best thing I could have ever done after my husband of 18 years died it really helped me get over his death in a good way. many tears and much laughter this series brought to me and a greater understanding of life and death that helped me move on without him .I am remarried and very happy but this show helped me not be afraid anymore and gave me strength and a great understanding of death,the compassion for others in this Series is just wonderful I am going to binge watch it again as it is priceless noone could ever recreate this ,the actors and actresses were totally amazing the writers totally amazing and directors totally amazing..the ending was perfect I cried and cried and cried but in all it was a great cry very feeling in the soul ❤❤❤❤
I, too, am so lucky to also have a cherished boxed set of this pure masterpiece and timeless art, and you know, every binge watch I do, each episode reveals even more wonder, that I never picked up before, and when it happens, my soul sparks just that little bit brighter. Enjoy your binge watching, Lisa. Savour EVERY second. While this truly amazing series tends to resinate with those who have experienced a deep, deep loss, it also acts as a beacon. It awakens you. It questions........ while it gives answers. It is betrayal... while it is love. It is light... and it is dark. It leads..... and then it follows. It teaches. It inspires. It laughs...and then it cries. It falls apart.....and it also mends. It has order...... and it has chaos. And just when you think you are empty........ it fills you up with a new found kind of love and wonder. While it, ironically, deals bravely with death....... it has truly given me life.
By the end of that series I loved every character as if they were real. David reminded me so much a brother I lost at 26, who had a lof of David's characteristics. I could barely watch the carjacking episode and had to keep reminding myself not to call the cops or drive around looking for the van, because I couldn't handle the idea of anything terrible happening to him. The character David felt very much like a real brother to me, one that I wanted to shelter and protect.
That particular episode was probably the most mind-wrenching of all of them. I wanted to switch it off, but I couldn't. The fear inside me was so intense.
Just watching this after more than ten years I saw the show and again tears running down my face. A great show is shown by the impact it has over time. And it does.
My husband died very suddenly. When we came home from the hospital a couple of hours after he was pronounced dead, and I collapsed on the couch in sobs, I couldn't help but visualize our outstretched hands being forced apart. I gasped audibly the first time I saw the opening credits of SFU. I always had to see that part if we were going to skip the intro.
This show showed us how to be funeral directors in a way we always wanted it to be. And it worked, because we are real people as well as funeral directors. Beautiful x
How amazing. (That's grace, right there people!). May you and your family have a wonderful journey ahead of you. Embrace every day. How inspirational you all are. ((((((((((( Standing Ovation))))))))))
One of my favorite shows! You become part of their family, and you get a glimpse of the deceased family! On occasion, I still communicate with Freddy Rodriguez and still think of him as Rico!
I just watched this show for the first time in 2022. I felt nothing when nate died cause of what he did to Brenda. That was soooo dirty. HOWEVER the funeral episode wrecked me because of the families grief and anguish. I’ve felt that unfortunately and this episode was raw and real. Amazing.
That's exactly how I felt too. It felt so real because when someone dies, it effects everyone in their lives differently. Like if my abusive ex died I wouldnt care that much, but I know her family and friends would be devastated
I got the chills. Never have I seen a show this amazing and I will be good if I don't see another in my lifetime because this show was more than enough! This show has carried me from the first episode to the amazing finale and through to 2022. I love it more and more because I always find something I missed or now can understand. It's hard to watch anything after experiencing this masterpiece.
I was 16 when my mother passed away in 1999. My family was really shut down when it comes to the topic of death, it was something taboo that we shouldn't talk about to not make the living sad. This show helped me a lot to cope with grief and how to overcome it, but it also helped me to live. I felt really close to Claire's character by her personality, the taste for art and photography, and learning that it's ok to screw up sometimes, this is how we learn and grow. Six feet under had a huge impact on my life, when the show ended I felt like a part of my family was gone, I really loved the Fisher.
The ending song from this by Sia I played a lot after I lost my Gran who was a huge part of my life aged 96 and it gave me comfort dealing with the huge amount of grief I felt. x
finale always made me cry but keith getting shot as a security guard was pretty cheesey . they should have let david and keith live a long life together
It would have been nice to see Keith and David live well into their twilight years together, wouldn't it! But really that's part of the fabric - everybody dies eventually, and while ideally we'd have a schedule and advance warning and plenty of time to enjoy decades with our loved ones, reality just doesn't work out that way. It feels cruel because we see it in the finale back-to-back with the other deaths and we know that David outlives Keith by several years, but look at it another way - they got to spend over 20 years together, they raised their kids and saw them become men, they got a life together, it's just that we didn't see the majority of it on camera. Just like with Nate's death though, while the stages of death and how it affects those around a passing differ from person to person, eventually David would readjust and manage to pull through the despair. The pair of them were Christian so they're both together after death anyway :)
Have been called cold. Because I didn't show enough emotion when my parents died. I still miss them and talk with them...however, I was focused when asked to speak at the funerals.
I love the series more than anything. It is incredible and I am obsessed with it. However, I find myself even more upset by death, and find it more depressing after watching the show.
One of tbr fee shows that can be emotional and discuss certain braod topics without being pretentious. The other two I think are also capable of capturing raw emotion is Shameless and Californication (and The Wire Season 4).
One of my faves of all time but I felt a little cheated by the final episode, it felt like tying a neat bow on the whole thing, when that was never how the show treated any of it's subject matter.
i don't know why exactly. it just felt like too much. because with each episode the context of the drama surrounding the characters with the death made it interesting. but to have it all laid out like that was too much for me. they could maybe have left it to the viewers imagination in some sort of creative way. but maybe it was the mood i was in that day. i'm sure they must have toyed with different ways to end the show
The very best ending of any show ever. I watch the last 10 minutes of the finale whenever I lose perspective on life. When I need to remind myself to appreciate every minute of my life. It gives me a wonderfully spiritual boost to go out and LIVE!
Touche!!!

This was the best show of all time
I just finished streaming it for the 3rd time!!! Best show ever! I will stream it a 4th time. 👍👍👍💜
@@debfortier-arszyla7394 I'll be up for the sixth time all five seasons pretty soon. Never get tired of it.
Six Feet Under is a masterpiece series.
I'm WEEPING. Just from watching this 'extra' set of clips. I'm absolutely wrecked. Tears everywhere.
You have been touched by the hand of Grace. So, enjoy every valuable tear. Embrace the complete exhaustion. You are one of the lucky ones.
There will never be a show that will remotely come close to the raw human emotion it bought to the screen each week. This show was literally, and I mean LITERALLY a catalyst for my changing my life 10 years ago.
+lordkaido it's not for everyone, but you have to be willing to engage in a more emotional and cerebral level-- this isn't mindless entertainment, it's Art.
@TheWhiteFang284 it was annoying, boring and depressing to you. A lot people liked the show.
TheWhiteFang284 And what kind of fucked up mess of a masochist are you you that you continued to watch it???
@@JediBunny you nailed it
@@JediBunny What a great comment. I always thought it was Art too. Best tv I've ever seen.
The last show was amazing, How it was done. The rearview mirror for the cast. It gave us the closure we needed as 'part of the show'.
That last episode shattered my heart...and put it back together again.
Says it all........... bravo!
What an eloquent description of your feelings! I couldn't agree more.
I love how dark the show was, broaching taboo topics other than just death.

I lost both my parents earlier in 2001. This show was my grief therapy. Thank you Mr. Ball.
I've never had a show completely draw me in like this. You feel these people. You feel like you know them. You know dozens of little details about each of them. They feel like real three dimensional people and you love some of them, you hate some of them (Brenda's parents) and if you suddenly found yourself in a long car ride with one of them, you could have a full conversation with them.
Sunnchilde. Brenda's parents. ha ha ha. I like her Mom, she was so crazy funny kookaboo. I like the details of their "open" relationship.
Watched entire series more than once...show helped me deal with both parents' deaths.
The finale was the best I have ever seen
I could watch the finale over and over again. So we'll done
My all time favorite show! Best actors, best characters, best writing, best music...Sia. Am on my 4th time watching. Love, love, love!!! 🎭💜💜
I mourned when Nate passed away. .like literally people, I remember getting so damned angry next day at work when a fellow employee said he never liked Nathan anyways and I just lost it on him......Lol....sort of embarrassing in retrospect but just shows the power of this series to attach you too it's characters.
Nathaniel!!

Integrity is one of the things that matters most.
And Nate's gentle yet steadfast support alongside Claire.....
What the show did better then pretty much any show was the character development of each main party in the show. We got to all of the very intimately
Man this show was THE definition of being human and all that goes between being born and dying....crying all over again for everyone that is gone.
I haven't seen this series yet. I want to see it but I'm not sure..I've heard it's depressing but cathartic..
Val it's not depressing at all.
It's about the family who is in the funeral industry and life in general.
I bought the box set it was the best thing I could have ever done after my husband of 18 years died it really helped me get over his death in a good way. many tears and much laughter this series brought to me and a greater understanding of life and death that helped me move on without him .I am remarried and very happy but this show helped me not be afraid anymore and gave me strength and a great understanding of death,the compassion for others in this Series is just wonderful I am going to binge watch it again as it is priceless noone could ever recreate this ,the actors and actresses were totally amazing the writers totally amazing and directors totally amazing..the ending was perfect I cried and cried and cried but in all it was a great cry very feeling in the soul ❤❤❤❤

Belated Condolences to you and to your family.
This series was so touching. It will remain with me until nothing else does.
By the end of that series I loved every character as if they were real. David reminded me so much a brother I lost at 26, who had a lof of David's characteristics.

The character David felt very much like a real brother to me, one that I wanted to shelter and protect.
"That's My Dog" that you are referring to was my favorite episode and many others' favorite as well.
That particular episode was probably the most mind-wrenching of all of them. I wanted to switch it off, but I couldn't. The fear inside me was so intense.
Just watching this after more than ten years I saw the show and again tears running down my face. A great show is shown by the impact it has over time. And it does.
This show was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. It moved me more than any other.
I agree with you.
My husband died very suddenly. When we came home from the hospital a couple of hours after he was pronounced dead, and I collapsed on the couch in sobs, I couldn't help but visualize our outstretched hands being forced apart.

thanks for this, SFU was truly a unique show, full of humanity and feelings uugh just thinking about it makes me want to cry
Like someone else said here in the comments, I wish there was an annual convention for us fans of Six Feet Under!
Masterpiece ! Never will be anything like it
There is no other like this series. Emotions, truths, life, death, meanings, acting, shooting all perfect!
I appreciate your uploading this. This was a great series that broke the mold.
One of my favorite shows! You become part of their family, and you get a glimpse of the deceased family! On occasion, I still communicate with Freddy Rodriguez and still think of him as Rico!
His
Brilliance! Powerful television storytelling. In a minute these stories reconnect me to the moments in my life where I have lost! Thanks 6 feet under.
Grief. Fuck, man. You can’t push it back and save it for later. You have to feel it.
I just watched this show for the first time in 2022. I felt nothing when nate died cause of what he did to Brenda. That was soooo dirty. HOWEVER the funeral episode wrecked me because of the families grief and anguish. I’ve felt that unfortunately and this episode was raw and real.

It's hard to watch anything after experiencing this masterpiece.
One of my favorite shows of all time. Very well written and puts things into perspective that are difficult for people to deal with.
Thank you, Alan Ball and all the team. Thank you so much.
Wonderful 3-part “mini series” on the impact of Six Feet Under! In my opinion, it’s the best dramatic series ever. ❤
Thank you from Spain with tears in my eyes, best TV series ever
Best tv show ever!
Most beautiful video i have seen by far love this show
That ending is just fucking iconic
This show helped me process life, death, and loss...
Thanks for posting these...going to have to watch it all again - and (no doubt) cry like a baby at the end ;

six feet under needs a reboot please it was an awesome show
💗
One of my faves of all time but I felt a little cheated by the final episode, it felt like tying a neat bow on the whole thing, when that was never how the show treated any of it's subject matter.
They should have ended Seinfeld this way...
sorry i didn't like the last episode. the whole show was outstanding but i found the last episode depressing
i don't know why exactly. it just felt like too much. because with each episode the context of the drama surrounding the characters with the death made it interesting. but to have it all laid out like that was too much for me. they could maybe have left it to the viewers imagination in some sort of creative way. but maybe it was the mood i was in that day. i'm sure they must have toyed with different ways to end the show
