What other TV do you watch?

[JHyde]

I've just finished a re-watch of Six Feet Under and it is such an amazing show that I think will stand the test of time. It never won a huge bunch of awards because it ran during the same years as The Sopranos and The West Wing and for that reason I think actresses like Rachel Griffiths and Fran Conroy and the wonderful Michael C Hall missed out to shows and stars that were already winners and established audience faves. Plus, the content matter of the show is a lot harder to access than either of those two I have mentioned (both of which I really like).

I still think this is the best cast show I have ever watched. And one of the things you really notice on re-watching is that there are times when you wish certain actors had enjoyed more scenes together. Like, I really wish Hall and Griffiths had shared more scenes and also between Hall and the joyous Lauren Ambrose (who most recently was in Where The Wild Things Are).

Highly recommended if you've never seen it. It is dark and sad but totally worthwhile. And really rewards the loyal re-watcher.
