The best there ever was...

I just watched the final episode of Six Feet Under. It was fantastic. I really wept at the end. And I have to say, as I've said before, this is just the best show there is on television. I am so disgusted by most of what I see on TV -- as it's usually just another version of what I like to call 'The Whitey Show'. I really appreciate that the writing on SFU is smart and never tries to insult my intelligence. I like that two of the main characters are black and hispanic. I love that there is a depiction of artists and the art world that isn't completely unrealistic. And I love that one of the main relationships is that of a gay couple, shown not as something fantastical, but rather contained by all the same complexities and faults as any heterosexual relationship.

I take my hat off to all the actors in this series, for bringing a quality experience into my home each week. I am already sad about how long I'll have to wait for the next series.
