TV Shows on DVD  - Six Feet Under

x

The Fishers are your typical dysfunctional family. Ruth is the stern matriarch who has trouble expressing emotion and snaps at the slightest problem. Daughter Claire is an underachiever who cultivates a moody, mysterious loner image in high school (she's indulging in illegal substances too). Brother David  works in the family business and is uptight beyond belief (he's indulging in a secret homosexual relationship too). Elder brother Nate is the black sheep, who, eschewing responsibility, fled to Seattle but got lured back. And Dad watches it all bemusedly. Did we mention Dad's dead? Oh, and that the Fisher family business is a funeral home? It might sound off-putting, but coming from the mind of Alan Ball, the man who strip-mined suburban life to find the mordant wit underneath in American Beauty, Six Feet Under is a trenchant, stylish spin on standard family dysfunction.
