Ranking Every Season Of Six Feet Under
By VALERIE ETTENHOFER
5. Season 4
The fourth season of "Six Feet Under" feels like it's asking for absolution, yet despite the season's exhausting, elliptical character arcs, it still has some phenomenal moments.
The best parts of "Six Feet Under" season 4 take daring plots and allow them to sprawl out, making good on the old adage that healing takes as long as it takes.
4. Season 1
They’re deeply flawed, but by season's end, it's impossible not to love the Fishers thanks to the show's strong central cast and each character’s relatable search for meaning.
For all its strengths, "Six Feet Under" unfortunately features some dated attitudes that emerge early on, including on topics of queerness, consent, and mental illness.
3. Season 2
Season 2 of "Six Feet Under" has its shortcomings, most notably when its writers fail to reckon with obnoxious character faults that seem to exist in their blind spots.
The season is compelling overall, with rewarding character payoffs, explorations of uneasy truths, and darkly hilarious client deaths that grow more ridiculous by the episode.
