Genre-bending approach to storytelling
Six Feet Underseamlessly blends genres that (theoretically) have no business coexisting.
It never feels tonally incongruous.
Rather, the jumps from chuckle-inducing mortuary mishaps to melancholic marital messes only augment the shows sense of realism.

Rather,Six Feet Underemphasizes how various individuals cope with grief from bargaining and anger to denial or depression.
There is no appropriate way to grieve…despite the guilt that non-cryers tend to experience at funerals.
Theres Frances Conroys journey as Ruth Fisher from a traditional housewife to a woman seeking fulfillment and self-discovery.
Each character is on an individual journey but their lives interweave when it matters most.
When it comes to matters of the heart, this family proves that blood is thicker than water.
Its also quite in harmony (pun intended) with the shows more surrealistic moments.
