Dogmatic

Very rarely does television move someone as much as HBO’s Six Feet Under has done these past 5 seasons. The show has been a veritable roller coaster of emotions and often reminds one of his own mortality. Sometimes sickengly morbid, sometimes funny as hell - the strong character driven black comedy about a family who lives in a funeral home has come to an emotion charged finale. I couldn’t wait to view the final episode, yet at the same time I kept putting it off - dreading saying goodbye to one of my fave shows. Dreading the finality of it all. Dreading experiencing that gut wrenching pain again that the show caused a couple of weeks ago with the death and funeral of Nathaniel Fisher. Television rarely gets this powerful and indeed, powerful is what the final episode is. Painfully so.

So long Six Feet Under, we miss you already…
