Simply put, this was one of the best Pilot's I've ever seen. Never has a show ever been able to put itself on track so quickly as "Six Feet Under" did here. A lot of credit goes to the performances which were simply brilliant. There were a lot of laughs, thrills and dramatic pieces set throughout which isn't something you often see episode 1 of a show.
The irony of death is what makes this first episode so fantastic. The family is brought together by the death of their father, who had previously run a family owned funeral home. So this in particular episode revolves around death, within a death. The script was rarely shoddy, and often quick witted which is why I easily can give it 9*.
