I have watched a lot of television in life and nothing, NOTHING has moved me more than the six feet under finale. What an effing masterpiece. Not even my first time seeing it but I had to express this somewhere. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone else close to me that’s seen the show.
It was the best finale I'd ever seen when I watched it originally 10 years ago, and still was when I rewatched it last year.
Just finished my rewatch. I’m ugly crying.
Help, I have done it again.
also, >!Ruth dies in two years!<
Yeah the last 10 mins is some of the best TV ever made.
For the longest time I've always felt that the final scene of Six Feet Under was the best ever but (this is going to blow you away) the one for 12 Monkeys the TV series beats it.
Of course, if will fall flat if you were to look it up and watch it without the context of the entire series preceding it. It's a series of scenes rather than a single musical montage so it keeps hitting you.
I have already watched many of the most critically acclaimed series finale of all time (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Americans, Mr Robot, The Leftovers, etc)... And SFU final episode is still by far the best series finale I've ever seen.
The absolute best- that finale had me sobbing!
i rewatched recently and felt the exact same. so great

literally as soon as the music starts, the tears just freakin flow also why did they do Keith like that????!?
I agree with you on all except mr robot (only bc I didn’t get to the end and sadly gave up on the show) the Americans is another tearjerker. Train scene kills me.
Made me wanna take a drive through deagh valley and just cry
Everyone dies, some die before their time.
Mr Robot series finale is 9.8 on IMDb and it is the most mindblowing series finale I've ever seen. It transforms the way you see the entire show.
But SFU series finale can literally change the way you see life.
I finished the show two weeks ago and I’m still thinking about the finale, one of the most beautiful and emotional finales I’ve ever seen. I cried for like an hour lol.
Now you made me want to rewach it... it's been so long since I've seen it and still remember it well. It's definitely a reference in television. No matter how much time goes by, or how many movies/tv they make, to me, they ( the actors) will always be Nate, David and Claire.
Incredible way of putting it. The rest of the series we mentioned are great stories but the six feet under finale just feels like more.
My first time watching it my husband came home and thought somebody died. I was like well yeah, kinda
I just finished the show 2 weeks back. So good. Who was everyones fave of the main cast ?
I always liked the mother.
I think Claire and Ruth end up being my favorites for different reasons, growth and performance. Francis conroy is incredible, I always loved her little freak outs. I also really grew to love David who annoyed me at first (and Keith). Was very sad about Nate but he was never my favorite.
Yeah Claire at times wasnt very nice but she was like 18/19 . I know I was far from perfect as a teenager, it was good to see her growth.
Ruth really seemed like a person that could exist and at heart was a loving person.
Maybe it was the hype or just that I didn’t love the show overall but finale was just ok to me..
I'll watch anything with Francis Conroy, I absolutely love her.
I was happy to realise shes Cate Blanchetts mother in The Aviator
on a recent rewatch :) .
I love that >!Billy!< literally talks >!Brenda!< to death.
"You can't take a picture of this."
Possibly the greatest depiction of the emotional experience of leaving home ever filmed.
yuuuuup I love that too, made me laugh when I had time to process it beyond the sad
I remember that last dvd showing up from Netflix the day I got my tonsils out. I watched alone in bed, very high on painkillers and it wrecked me.
Any show could just show you a montage of all the characters you know dying and it'd be tragic. A bit cheap if ya ask me (which no one did, downvote)
I keep forgetting to add this to my watch list. I hear about the finale all the time but luckily it hasn’t been spoiled yet
Considering what six feet under is about it’s not cheap at all.
It’s not tragic, though. It has some sad deaths but overall it’s beautiful without being sad.
For me Sopranos has the best ending of any show, but SFU still deserves to be on the podium. Such a shame HBO doesn't produce godlike shows anymore.

The Last of Us is quite godlike so far.
