Yesterday I ordered the Six Feet Under--The Complete Series DVD Gift Set for my own personal home use. Damn, I love that show! Although in the middle of Season Two, shit gets wonky. Brenda's favorite pastime becomes sex with strangers, and I was yelling at the TV "NO!" when she was fixin' to have a threesies with some stanky middle-aged couple. I mean, if you're going to blow your engagement, blow it on someone hot!
My mother has seen every episode via repeats on Bravo, but she has not seen EVERY EPISODE. I asked her if they edited out all the man-on-man sex action and she was like, "what? Man-on-man?" So I will take my box set to Smell Mar the next time I head out there so she can see all the sex and the drugs in their full, unadulterated glory.
I usually don't purchase DVDs since I never seem to watch them again, but I'm making an exception for SFU. The box set also includes a booklet and the music soundtrack, so I can drive down the highway to that Sia song and guess in what year my loved ones will croak.
Posted by Zerd at July 13, 2007 11:34 AMHey, I don't want to poop on your parade or anything, but I thought that show got less and less satisfying every season after the second one. I can't really say why without spoiling it, and maybe you won't agree, but I just thought maybe a warning would be good so you're not taken by surprise--things get very different. After a while I ended up feeling kind of sad and annoyed that I couldn't stop watching although it was no longer enjoyable, because I was still so involved with the characters. I would have watched them shit in a coffee can for an hour, even though I wasn't enjoying it, you know? :(

It got to the point where I could see that they were introducing bat-shit crazy story elements and characters just so they could (predictably) explode by the end of the season.
Did the series recover after season 2?
