Six Feet Under: Why It Still Hurts

HBO's Six Feet Under pretty much always comes up in discussions of the best tv shows of all time, but also somehow doesn’t seem to have been able to stake its spot in the larger cultural memory in the same way as hits of the same era like The Sopranos or The Wire. So today we’re taking a deeper look at this insightful, darkly hilarious show and what made it work so well – but also why some of those same traits that made it a critical darling and fan favorite might have been the reason it was almost left behind (and why it’s now, nearly 20 years after it that perfect finale, starting to find a whole new audience!) This is the Total Take, where we break down the most analyzable films and TV shows of all time through visual storytelling, writing, symbolism, world, and impact. Here’s our Total Take on Six Feet Under!

HBO's "Six Feet Under" is frequently cited in discussions of the best tv series of all time, yet it hasn't quite secured its place in the broader cultural memory like other shows of its era. This video explores the insightful and darkly humorous nature of the show, examining what made its film narrative so impactful and why, despite its critical acclaim, it might have been overlooked. We also consider how the iconic ending scene contributed to its lasting legacy, especially for fans of Michael C Hall's performance.
