Starting November 1st, Netflix will no longer have the popular HBO drama Six Feet Under. If you want to watch all five seasons of the show – known for its great writing, acting, and thoughtful look at life, death, and family – you only have a few days left to stream it. This change is part of Netflix’s regular content updates.
Created by Alan Ball, the HBO series Six Feet Under ran for five seasons, totaling 63 episodes, from June 3, 2001, to August 21, 2005.
This show follows the Fisher family as they manage a funeral home in Los Angeles, weaving together stories of their own lives, their relationships, and the people they help. The series stars Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy, Lauren Ambrose, Freddy Rodriguez, Mathew St. Patrick, and Rachel Griffiths. It was produced by Actual Size Films and Greenblatt/Janollari Studio, with filming taking place in Los Angeles and at Hollywood studios.
Both critics and viewers loved Six Feet Under, praising its compelling stories and strong acting. The show received many awards, including nine Emmys, three Golden Globes, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a Peabody Award. The final episode, “Everyone’s Waiting,” is often considered one of the best TV series finales of all time.
The idea for the show apparently came from Bill Ball’s own experiences with grief, though it’s not entirely clear how the concept first developed. Ball mentioned in an interview that Carolyn Strauss, the president of HBO Entertainment, challenged him to explore more difficult and nuanced subjects.
He described a pivotal moment at HBO where Carolyn Strauss, after reading his initial draft, praised the characters and scenarios but suggested it needed more edge. She encouraged him to ‘make it a little more messed up,’ which gave him the freedom to explore deeper, darker, and more complex themes.
Many consider Six Feet Under to be one of the greatest TV shows ever made. It’s been praised by critics at publications like Time, The Guardian, and Empire, and was even named one of the best-written shows by the Writers Guild of America.
The show has consistently earned praise for its unique blend of dark comedy and heartfelt drama, along with its imaginative storytelling – including memorable dream sequences and funny, fake commercials. Reviewers have also highlighted its thoughtful exploration of family relationships and the world of funeral homes. Though the fourth season received some less enthusiastic feedback, the show is generally recognized for its bold and unconventional narratives.
