I've started Six Feet Under. I've watched the first two episodes. It's an odd show. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Most of the characters kinda suck, except for David.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Waits for the inevitable joke...

He just doesn't want to admit it. Do I fill a niche or what? Initially, I felt that way, a little. Except I love Peter Krause so I wanted to like Nate. If Clare had been on when I was in high school, she would have been my idol. Although I had Darlene Connor so, not completely deprived. Long story short, they grew on me. Although sometimes I do think they work at being miserable.

I'm still, after watching every episode, not sure if I like it or not.
The characters are well-drawn, I think. Sometimes I like one, sometimes another, they all take turns being idiots and bastards and woobies, kind of.

I loved 6FU, because I'm inclined to like a show where somebody dies at the start of every show (it kept me into to Law & Order for the longest time).

Punishingly Intricate
I wanted to love 6FU but hated every single character eventually so that might it kind of hard for me. I watched way more of it than I should have considering how much it irritated me.

Easily my favorite part. I watched every Sunday with the same group of people that I watched football and the Sopranos with. Before every episode we would have a pool of how the death would occur.

The funny thing is, I expected it to be like "Dead Like Me" and you know,it's not. But I've enjoyed it once I've forgiven it for not being a wacky mortuary comedy...I'm still not sure if I'll watch them all or not. Because I can sort of see the haters' point and because nothing can live up to all that acclaim. Except The Wire...The Wire deserves everything. (Ok, I've done my duty as a fake literary spouse.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I loved the ones with Keith's smart-aleck niece, though. She was great.
