Six Feet Under: Complete Series (Repackage)

First of all I would like to mention how quickly the seller delivered this set. This seller had the best price, including the extra bonus disk making this a 25 disk set.It's really hard to believe this show is over 20 years old. Five seasons of “Six Feet Under,” which premiered on June 3, 2001 on HBO. Of course I haven’t had cable for over 25 years, so this show was new to me.It is an intellectual, ahead of its time, brilliantly written with heart and humor series. The only age give away was Brendas awful wardrobe, even 20 years ago was matronly and boring lacking any sense of style or taste.But that would have been the only give away that this series is over 20 years old. The content made me feel as if this was taking place today, with smoking pot, and sexually provocative issues that closed the 20 year gap.What I couldn’t believe was the buying war between Amazon and eBay, this series has a 20 year hunger that keeps on going. I became addicted and knew that I must own this series.I was surprised what good condition this set was in, even the grass on the top was in tact without any worn spots. What I did learn was that most sellers on eBay were selling DVD's that couldn't be played on DVD players in the US.That's when I decided to buy only on Amazon.

Love this TV series! Great acting, dialog, story lines, character development, music, production. It's really hard to find a series of this high quality. (Another fantastic series being "The West Wing".)

for the greatest television show of all time?I'm going to stress to you right off the bat that for those of us who followed this show as it aired... we would have bought this set at five times the price. As I write I also find myself envying those of you who will get to experience all of it for the first time. Enough waxing nostalgic though. Let me just say get past the price (which is honestly a very good deal if you work it out), that's the last time I'll mention that.Six Feet Under is about a family that owns a funeral home. Like all great things you can sum it up in a sentence, but the substance of it doesn't come across in less than... well in this case... about 62 hours. In the show we follow Nate, who fears death and hates funeral homes. David, who starts off as a self-hating gay man who may just want to stop being a funeral director. Claire, our rebellious young woman finishing high school. Ruth, the mother of the bunch... a highly neurotic and fickle woman... and everyone who comes in contact with the family during the course of their business.I will say that though the show can hook you from the close of the first episode, the characters don't really feel completely fleshed out until about the fourth or fifth episode. Then again there are some shows that NEVER flesh out any characters.You can trace the entire voyage of the show to Nate. It is about his fear of death, and the death business. It's about how he matures over the course of about six years... to me, all else is secondary. David's struggle with who he is, Claire trying to find herself, and Ruth attempting to find her place in the world now that her children are all grown up... all of those stories are brilliant as well, but they still mostly center on Nate.This truly is the best show that has ever aired. The weakest season of it (four) is still better than everything else out there. You WILL be hooked from the first episode... and unlike so many other recent series finale's... you will not be left hanging, nor will you be disappointed.I've not yet come across one human being who is not moved to tears at least a few times a season... and not yet met a person who hasn't sobbed at the end.Television can be art, it can move you, it can challenge you and shake you up. It can change your life. The proof is in this package. Get it.

Don't buy used. I struck out twice, final two SERIES EPISODES!

I love this show so much that I realized I’d never free myself from my HBO subscription until I bought it on DVD. now even if the WGA strike tanks the corporation, I will still be able to watch :) only made it through half the DVDs so far with no issues of scratches or freezing etc.

I was going to rent the series to watch having had it recommended by this really intuitive, caring and fun psychiatrist that I know when Bravo started showing it. I started watching. It is what my generation used to call "an experience." In other words, I can give you some arbitrary description of events and so forth which might give you some sense of storylines, characters, etc. and it won't come close to what it actually is about - in particular what it is about for you. I've seen it now about 4 times. My boyfriend who has a hard time watching an hour of television in one sitting couldn't stop watching. After I got the series from Amazon we ended up watching nothing else. It was like a book he couldn't put down (and he's not a reader either). We watched the entire 5 years in marathon chunks until the end! Now he keeps saying that he misses the Fishers. Again, like a really good book that you hate to turn the last page on . . . Buying from Amazon: I actually received the whole series two Christmas's ago from [...]. There was something wrong with some of the DVD's so I returned it. They assured me that they had several in stock so I got a gift certificate for another set and thought I'd be walking out with it. Nope, they have some sort of inventory quirk and then I found out they won't turn a gift certificate into cash-even if you have the original product receipt. (Their representative told me, "You might just use the money to go and buy drugs!" Huh?!) I got groceries for Christmas that year . . . I KNEW by buying it from Amazon that I would be able to return it, exchange it, etc. no problem! It is because I know that I have their guarantees that I have bought so many gift DVD's here. And THIS is the BEST PRICE I've seen it at - and I have been looking! (This is the only place that I found that you can get it home for under $[...]) So, it is an incredible (historic) series worth the bragging power of having not only seen it but having it as part of your collection. And get it from someone who's policies cover you in the real world!

Me encantó la serie está muy entretenida aún me falta para terminarla pero lo que llevó está muy bien, aparte la presentación está bien sin daños buen empaque

The boxed set of every episode of one of the most original, well cast, brilliantly performed series ever. The setting of a family run funeral home in America may seem strange for a hit series, but the stories and sub plots portray flawlessly the trials and tribulations of a diverse family. I do not want to give away anything, but this is way above most series of recent years. All of the characters are faultless and interesting, and the very last scene in the very last episode is the most brilliant, original and heartbreaking ever. Highly recommended if you are a fan of high quality drama.

El pack es una pasada, el césped artificial le da un punto increíble pero (y aquí viene el problema) aunque la foto es de la versión en inglés el que se envía es la versión francesa (sin subtítulos en español).No sólo no era la versión que creía que llegaría por las fotos que se muestran sino que la caja venía dañada a pesar de estar dentro del plástico protector. El film estaba roto y reparado con trozos de celofán, las esquinas un tanto dañadas y la lápida de la parte superior despegada.Toda una lástima porque la edición es maravillosa. Ya lo he devuelto.

Great series and for such a low price (76.99) it really was a huge bargain! All of the characters are interesting and the show does not get boring (for me at least). The box set itself is very nice. It opens up like a book, between "pages" are the discs for each season. There are pictures as well on the "pages" highlighting what had occurred in that particular season.There is also a Mortuary booklet that comes with the box set. This has obituaries written for the main characters of the series. I would definitely recommend this box set to fans and those that are new to watching the series.

Not usually a DVD watcher but this is so good
