Beyond FabulousAs the reviewer before me says -- this is the best show ever (although Dexter is really good, too). Me, like millions of others, still mourn the passing of this fantastic, sensitive, quirky and endearing show; I still feel a profound sense of loss. Why this show is so great is because all the characters are so rich, vivid, detailed and relate-able. Of course, viewers expect to be engaged with major characters (Nate, David, Ruth and Claire), but it's true of lesser characters (Billy and Brenda's mother), too. Please (please) bring the entire series to iTunes..Score: 5/5

By far, the best TV series that I have ever seen.This is my first review of any kind on the iTunes store. I just felt compelled to share just how amazing I found "Six Feet Under" to be. Never before I have I watched a drama where I became so wrapped up in the characters and cared so much about what happened to them. It is truly dark show, but also so full of amazing humor and humanity. It spans the entire gamut of the human condition. When the final seconds of the finale ticked away I found myself frozen, not really knowing how to feel. In the end I was very sad to see it end, but equally fulfilled for having watched it. I give the entire series my highest recommendation..Score: 5/5

WHAT TV SHOULD BE.This has to be the best show to ever grace the screen. Never has life , love , and loss ever been showcased more perfectly. The dull subdued hue that its filmed in captures the entire feel throughout the begging...to what has to be the absolute BEST SERIES FINALE EVER. It never disappoints. You will laugh at the unexpected and cry at the comical. And actually...you may just walk away and understand life a lot more..Score: 5/5

Yes.Finally, iTunes added this gem into their repertoire. This is one of the best, most bittersweet series to grace the television screens. Once you start watching, you won't be able to stop. The Fishers aren't your average, lovable TV family, but that's what makes then unforgettable..Score: 5/5

Six Feet Over... The Top!...Great show!... If you don't know why, find out. Fantastic in every way. You will be glued to the screen while watching. Alan Ball's, the creator of this, new show "True Blood" is killer-good too!.Score: 5/5

Great seriesAwesome.Score: 5/5

Easily my favorite show of all time.This show is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best shows to have ever been on television. Each episode was entertaining and smartly written while the characters both mirrored our lives and yet were the people we sometimes wished we were or the people we are glad we are not. The Fisher family became like new members of my own family and every Sunday when a new episode premiered on HBO, I was right there glued to the screen, ready and hungry for what the Fishers (and their many friends and relatives) would do next. Aside from being a brilliant show with relatable and all too human characters, the show dealt with a subject matter that was a taboo for shows up until then, death. It opened each episode with a new and morbidly fascinating death that would either propel a story arc or just breeze by in passing. SFU was also the most well-rounded shows I have ever seen, ending it's series in a way that was touching and utterly satisfying, but you will just have to wait until season 5 comes out to see for yourselves. Buy the first season, I assure you you will not be disappointed..Score: 5/5

Six Feet Under season 1Absolutely love this series.Score: 5/5

Incredibly moving showSix Feet Under is my all time favorite tv show. Nothing else compares. It's very dark but at the same time has a twisted sense of humor. It's brilliant and I hated to see it end..Score: 5/5

You'll Love and Hate Them Like Your Own Family...This is a show well worth watching -- even though it has uneven moments. I found myself developing strong feelings for the characters, even hatred for a few, and I think that's what makes the show a must see. It's a family drama that makes you feel about them like you do your own family -- even the frustration that comes with seeing people you love screw up or be selfish, The proof of this is the very last episode of the series when (no spoilers) it becomes obvious that you love them all after all..Score: 5/5

The best Tv Show in the history of television.Six Feet Under is the unbearably emotional ride that changed the way I looked at Tv and life after watching it's 5 seasons. The way it potrays death is unlike anything anyone has ever seen before, and I'm not going to spoil much else if you haven't watched it. Definately worth your attention if you haven't seen it before. And a word of comfort, the ending to the show is also the best thing you'll ever see in your lifetime..Score: 5/5

Don't waste your moneyI bought series one only to delete it the same night. I'm in shock! We've still got series 8 of Dexter to come, and he's a prominent closeted gay in Six Feet, who is snogging a cop in episode one. It takes away all your suspension of disbelief....Score: 1/5

More info on the Aspect Ratio please!Would be great if Apple could provide info on the aspect ratio format, 4:3 or 16:9. Does have an effect on the viewing experience and customers should be made aware. Excellent series though..Score: 5/5

One of the best shows ever written and performed!I love this show. It's thrilling, harrowing, exciting, sad, funny - in fact every emotion comes to mind! Watch it and you'll see what I mean....Score: 5/5

Amazing television!I love absolutley love this, a must see for anyone..Score: 5/5

Best TV show ever. Period.Now I'm a big fan of both The Wire and The Sopranos. But I'm unlikely to experience the events portrayed in those shows whereas.... The acting is superb. To pick out one member of the cast seems unfair, but Frances Conroy needs special mention. Watch it through to the final episode. The best show with the best ending to a show ever. And no it's not depressing.Although dealing with death it's the most life affirming thing you'll ever see..Score: 5/5
