"Six Feet Under" is a show not many will recognize due to the fact that it is simply outdated. The series is set around a family funeral home and goes on to portray nearly everything and anything a writer could think of from sex to drugs to affairs, and it covers problems that the LBGTQ community still faces in today's world. Needless to say, it is pretty interesting. But that is besides the point. In the midst of all the sex, drugs, and affairs (most common in the episodes) there is a much deeper underlying meaning to it all.
"Life is pain--get use to it."
When it comes to life sometimes. I constantly find myself saying a long drawn out "sammmeeee" while watching SFU. Mainly because the words they say are the same things I would say. I mean what other show is so flat out blunt about life? It isn't always sun shines and daisies and butterflies, sometimes it is very painful, so you might as well get use to that idea.
"Maybe your soulmate is the one that teaches your soul to grow the most."
When it comes to love the writers of SFU is pretty on it too. I've noticed in the short amount of my time on earth compared to others that I find some of my friends saying "right guy, wrong time" or "he was the one for me. There was just something prohibiting it" and to me SFU hit the nail right on head. Your soul mate doesn't have to be the one you spend the rest of your life with.. life isn't fair that way. But maybe they are the ones that help you grow the most.
"Truth and relationships don't make life easy. They make it possible."
Honestly, this one is my favorite. So often people look for an easy relationship. The one with less battles, less work, less everything. But SFU is back at it again, pulling on the heart strings. This applies to all relationships, having truth and the relationship make it something better than imaginable. It makes the relationship real and great. Something everyone could work on.
"I say if life offers you a new beginning, take it."
This is so true on so many levels. I often find myself stuck reading the same chapter instead of turning the page and moving on in the book of life. I feel that it is a problem for a lot of people. You're comfortable reading the same chapter, it's familiar and easy... but at some point you have to turn the page and step out of the comfort zone to make yourself grow.
"Nothing is in our control. An idea both terrifying and beautiful as the spirit itself."
The first part is that you can't change what happens. There isn't anything anyone can do to change it. When you think about that, at least when I do, I find myself feeling terrified and then the more I think of it I realize that it is something beautiful because you never really know when something can just come along and change everything and help you grow.
Six Feet Under has so many messages each episode and if you don't watch it for the meaning and humor and sarcasm, watch it because Peter Krause is the leading male actor in Six Feet Under (which for those of you who don't know is the leading male character of the ABC TV series The Catch.)
