Through the years I have become addicted to a great amount of TV shows. That obsession caused me to have my "don't talk to me I'm watching..." moments.
However, a show that I was never too obsessed about was "Six Feet Under". I knew the characters, I saw a lot of episodes, but it was never a comitment for me to watch the show and I was never dying to see the next season.
It came as a surprised for me that "Six Feet Under" produced the best Series Finale EVER.
The show ended in 2005 and I remember catching the finale by accident on HBO Brazil the following year. A couple minutes ago the finale just aired on Channel 2 here in Israel and it made me cry AGAIN. I can't help but shed tears everytime I watch it. The combination of images and the song chosen to follow them is exquisite and incomparable.
The last scene follows each characters future until their deaths, cutting back and forth with Claire (the youngest of the main family) driving toward her uncertain future in NYC.
Seeing each characters future and how their demise arrived is heart wrenchingly beautiful. There are no loose threads and story lines. A true end for a great show.
The cast of the show was so talented that most of its actors are currently in great shows out there. Michael C. Hall (David) is Dexter, Frances Conroy is guest starring in Desperate Housewives, Rachel Griffiths is Sarah Walker on Brothers & Sisters and Peter Krause was starring in Dirty, Sexy Money.
The creator of Six Feet Under has also created the season hit True Blood, which finished its first season las week and has a second season guaranteed.
*if you've never seen the show, you'll probably not get the strength of the ending... Though you might still enjoy the song... which is:

your blog is feel good......
It really was the last five minutes of the show that was worthwhile and emotional - it seems that otherwise, the last two seasons or so were just a waste, but those last minutes - made the whole show end in a dignified way.
