Among numerous TV series the final episode of Six Feet Under takes the series at an extra level of greatness. I got to tell you, if the finale was not as it is, I am pretty sure I wouldn't have looked at this series as admirably as I do now. This now leads me saying to people, 'look, if you do not want a series that would make you carry out unsuccessful operations of searching what's in six feet under in other TV series, if you do not want to feel regretted that you actually finished watching a series, then do not watch Six Feet Under'. The final was as simple and beautiful as the series itself; no climax, no sudden plot twisting deaths, no unexpected change of story line. That's what makes it gorgeous. Before this episode was aired, word went around from Six Feet Under crew that the finale will be absolutely mind-blowing. So consequently, audience expected something extremely special. But when it was aired, the audience realized that they saw something that reaches not even the sea-shore of their expected complicated endings. Instead it delivers something which is quite simple but its beauty stretches far beyond the sea of their imagination. Especially the last couple of minutes; if its simplicity, sweetness and unbearable sadness doesn't make you weep openly until the credits rolled, then maybe you weren't watching. Honestly, I don't know how the creator came to realize the beauty of this ending because when you think it in papers, it REALLY seem rather ordinary. It's just one last ultimate bit of audacity and pure ingenuity of Alan Ball with his brilliant writing and direction which made possible to give a gem of television era a sealing of utter perfection.
Peace out!
