In retrospect, American Beauty almost seems to be a rough draft for the emotional oppression and repression that Ball would explore in Six Feet Under. Ball builds his dramas around personal, quiet resentments that eventually explode with messy force.
John Teti on The A.V. Club They represent not only a golden age of television, but the era of the small-screen anti-hero – and they all had me gripped, moved and galled. But the TV show that has stayed with me for weeks, months, years afterwards? It's Six Feet Under.
Rosie Swash on The Guardian I've watched countless foreign TV series, but the one that gripped me most was Six Feet Under. I wish I could wipe my memory and watch it all over again from start to finish.
雪下クレソン on Filmarks The characters are hard to warm to at first, but the writing and acting draw you in so powerfully that before you know it, you are completely immersed in the world of the Fisher family. David is pale and youthful before Dexter, and Freddy Rodriguez is so young too! A 2001 work where you can see these now-prominent actors in their early years.
corino on Filmarks With the help of an exceptional cast, which over the years expanded to include names of the caliber of Kathy Bates (who began her collaboration with Ball as a director) and James Cromwell, the showrunner crafted a little gem across five seasons, capable of laughing in the face of death while treating it with due respect.
