6 days

i recently drove across country to move to my new digs to complete my masters degree. on this trip i also began a television journey that i had no idea would effect me as closely as it did. it's been a long time since i've felt a connection to a television show, this one really wrapped me up. like any other series on dvd it's a slow go at the beginning. but quickly i caught on to the subtleties and inside jokes of the family i was starting to feel a part of. the balanced perspectives allowed me to put myself in their shoes, each character within their own story line. on a micro scale the various people on the show are essentially dealing with the issues that all americans do. resistance to and fear of, death. only because the funeral home is the real central character does deatha also play a sort of satirical role, proving that death while obviously fatal can also be humorous. just like everything else in life, there's sad and happy, amazing and depressing. i've kept a vague stance within my writing so far because i don't want to give away any part of the story. the series that i finished in about 6 days was six feet under. i know, i know it's pretty late. about 3 years late. i knew that i would get totally into it so i've been waiting for the right time. and recently was for sure the right time. it felt like watching a really long, really enjoyable movie. i urge all of you guys to watch it. it was for sure the best time i have ever devoted to television. it also has undoubtedly the most poingant ending of a series i have ever been witness to. everything ends.
