I watched the third-last episode of "Six Feet Under" last night. It was another exceptional hour, the perfect choice of music and ideal combination of dialogue and dramatic action.
This series started off amazing and hasn't missed a beat. In fact, it seems to be picking up steam. The last three episodes have been hours that far surpass the vast majority of movies I see. Following last night's ep, while mourning the loss of a significant character, I realized we were also mourning the loss of a television show that has been entirely too good for tv. Quality the likes of "Six Feet Under", so very rare, is truly something to cherish.
