Six Feet Under

[Jaz]

Has anyone been watching the amazing drama/black humor Six Feet Under on Channel 4 (UK'ers)?

It's fucking brilliant.

Check out it's microsite..

Best thing I've seen on TV in a long while. It's written by the guys who wrote the film American Beauty.

 

[MrTrigger]

Yeah! 6 feet under is GREAT! I went to the UK just so i could see it without getting HBO, because in my mind, that's somehow cheaper.

 

[vampireuk]

I've seen a couple of episodes and its pretty cool from what ive seen

[vampireuk]

in that case I've seen them all!

 

[rob in london]

whens it on?

 

[Jaz]

It's on on a Monday night, after 11. And it's repeated on E4 (digital) on Wednesday.

 

[blizz]

I loved the wtf moment when he saw the tat on her bum

 

[Jaz]

*lol*

`I don't like it when you boys fight`..
`Yeah, well I don't like it when you sleep with hairdressers`..
*smack*

 

[blizz]

"You're different now. It's like you see through people now."

translation: "I want to fuck you."

 

[Macca]

lol, we've had like 10 episodes down here, i've seen one and two and they arent bad

 

[Raging Fuel]

Macca: You have no idea what you are on about. We have had heaps of episodes here. We might even be in the second season (I'm not really sure). Anyway, I missed about 4-5 eps before I started watching, and have loved it since then. Later on the deaths at the beginning start getting a little stranger. It's not so obvious who is actually going to die

 

[Jaz]

You lot dare spill the beans and I'll kill you!

*/me hopes for a DVD boxset*

 

[Raging Fuel]

I just checked then, and yes, we are in the second season (the 2nd ep of 2nd season was aired about 2 weeks ago, but the 3rd hasn't been on because of the WC). And I agree, a DVD boxset would be great

 

[Jaz]

That is sweet - I was hoping they'd make loads of episodes. How many are there in season 1?

 

[Macca]

Macca: You have no idea what you are on about. We have had heaps of episodes here.

I knew they had been on for a while but i didn't know they were on that long

 

[Raging Fuel]

Jaz: I think there was about 15 eps in season 1. And they are about to start the 3rd season in the US.

 

[Jaz]

Sweet, it's the thing I look forward to all week.

Should keep me interested for a while then, now that Friends has finished.

 

[blizz]

the first Season DVD set is supposed to be coming out in the US soon too

 

[adi]
