r/SixFeetUnder

It’s been week since I finished this show. Probably going to rewatch sooner than later because that FUCKED ME UP and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. What a show. What an absolutely perfect and thought provoking, terrifying ending. Full sobbing. Full peace. Full anxiety. I think that ending is up there with the Americans, the sopranos (which I know is controversial) etc. one or the best ever in my opinion. I love that Dexter was also a mortician. I’ve always thought this would be such cool rewarding job, but I would be terrified to be near a dead person.
Now the kicker. Biggest jump scare of my life. Nate being diagnosed with a fucking AVM! They are not common! I can’t believe one was featured on tv. It was very realistic. I felt all of Nate’s emotions throughout. I think that’s the reason he became such an asshole because a brain injury like that just changes your personality completely. Mine bled before I knew about it but I still have daily anxiety about it even though I’ve had a craniotomy, coiling procedure and gamma knife surgery. I think he had an embolism which I couldn’t get as mine was directly on my motor strip and would have left me permanently paralyzed, I spent months trying ugh partial paralysis and my hand is still very weak. I felt so bad for him walking around with one. Mine took years to fully go away and I can’t imagine what it would be like to have one that hadn’t bled but living your life in fear because it is a time bomb and a lot of people don’t survive it.
I’ve scheduled a new scan because his coming back really scared me.
Anyways back to the show. Funnily enough I couldn’t stand Nate and wasn’t really sad when he died because he was a total fucking asshole in the end. I loved the characters and cast so much.
Mostly just came on here to rant about my jump scare.
I’m curious if any of my specialist have watched and if so why they didn’t tell me because it is a really realistic depiction of what goes on. Even tho the last time in hospital he would have been in an ICU without a roommate and being checked by nurses every 15 minutes doing neuro tests.
Any other avm survivors who also watched?

I just finished the season four finale and it was never truly answered but did Hoyt kill Lisa? And why? Still a little confused

The location where Nate & Brenda got married
Is GORGEOUS! There’s a lot of California I haven’t seen. Time to google this locations :-)

PS
I’m not getting married 😂

>!Just finished the show, loved it all the way. But Keith's death got me questioning. He founded a security company, so as a founder and as a 61 year old why was he doing a dangerous muscle work? When i watched it I thought things went bad and he had to found this job then I surfed on internet a bit and found out this wasnt true.!<

Yesterday I was watching season 3 episode 7 – “Timing and Space”, and this Margaret quote just stuck with me:

“Your father used to say living with you two was like listening to the longest sentence
in the history of the universe. And now there's no one to hear it but me.”

I always laugh at the crazy stuff Margaret always says or does, she’s so unhinged most of the times, but seeing her being honest like this… trying to connect with Brenda and Billy, them as a family missing one piece, it just broke my heart.

Idk, I guess I just wanted to share this. Anyone remembers any other quotes that probably didn’t mean too much to you in your first watch?

I was reluctant to start a rewatch - it’s probably my favourite show of all time - but I’m just toward the end of season 2 when Lisa /Lily Taylor has the baby and wanted to come on here and say how much I loathe her character. She plays it soo well, such an intense, creepy, weirdo feigning innocence.

Love Brenda this time around, such a great layered character.

Dreading the final episode, it affected me so much back in the day.

I’m watching SFU for the first time and really enjoyed the first two seasons, it could be cringe at times but ultimately I thought the more significant moments were done well.

Now I’m near the end of s3 and I feel like I have whiplash. They are constantly setting up about four upcoming storylines at any given time, but scattered around. So they lead to nothing but then all of sudden something else happens. It feels more like 90210 than the previous series.

•Lisa randomly disappeared (and I looked up the end to that storyline bc I was like sorry what)
• Billy in love with Brenda and tries it on with her. I mean hey I get the weird psychology between them was always there but I thought it was more toxic attachment than anything else
• The mother and the apprentice. Idk i feel it’s so out of character for her and makes no sense
• David and Keith on their weekly break up edging (im over it)
• And now Claire is pregnant

Guys… what is happening anymore 😭 I will still watch to the end bc I have to finish it now but my god

I am two episodes away from watching the finale. I’ve loved all seasons and it’s probably gonna be in my top 5 and definitely in my top 10. Such an amazing show but i’m kinda scared that i might not like it that much. I watched Ecotone and All alone, and they did not live up to the expectations. Like sure they were great episodes but i just didn’t see the it the way people hyped them and saying they were two of the greatest episodes oat.

My wife and I are on our 4th watch of six feet under, one of the all time greatest shows.. BUT.. this round we’ve decided to skip past every scene with Maggie, no matter how consequential the scene.

With a show that has some of the best characters and character development ever conceived… where did Maggie come from? Was she the directors niece? It’s just awful and kind of ruins what would be a 10/10 perfect show. Are we alone in this?
