I'm in erika and Corwood's corner re: Six Feet Under. GF didn't care for it either. We just didn't give a shit about any of the characters.

Punishingly Intricate
Six Feet Under people: Why don't I feel the love?
Although I watched it off and on througout its run I never loved it either. It always seemed like it was trying to hard to be cool. Plus all the characters bugged the shit out of me and I wanted to slap all of them. a lot.

There wasn't a single character on 6FU that I cared about.
And a few that were insufferable.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
6FU had the greatest series finale. Ever.
Tom, me brother... You are doing that cynic thing, with the hyperbole thing.

Always Anti-fascist!
I don't think I've ever enjoyed saying anything in my life as much as those children enjoy "*FUCK* you, you cheese-faced bitch!" Unless I could pay a bunch of them to call up, say, Ann Coulter's house. On a more substantial note, I almost feel that I won't be able to take it if Pres gets surprised in the supply closet again...hurts to watch. But I don't want to punk out or anything.

Man, I laughed like hell at that line.
So, looks like Carcetti might be thinking about pushing Daniels up to Commissioner. Can a mayor do that?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I watched the first season of six feet under a couple of years ago, and while I enjoyed it entertainment-wise, it was definitely a show that I was doing other things while I was watching. I liked--and I say this about the show, definitely not in RL--watching the people die at the beginning; it was a clever way to approach the fact that they were going to be dealing with a dead body every episode without making it trite, like every cop show ever.
Also, Gus is totally right WRT the series ending. I watched the last, like, ten minutes on YouTube, and by the end I had shed a couple tears, despite the pixelation. Excellent.

I thought a Mayor of a city appointed the commissioner.

I just figured that he had to choose from available top brass or risk pissing off the department. That said, sweeeeeeeeet if it happens, but a bit wish-fulfillment-y for the show.
