Product Description
From Amazon.com
The initial season's happy ending is forgotten as relationships change, the business is still under fire from the evil conglomerate Kroehner, and a lively dream sequence is just around the corner. As with the premier season, creator Alan Ball lets many others direct and write the show, but his stamp is all over it. The eccentricities of the characters are shaped, and not always suddenly. Take daughter Claire (Lauren Ambrose), who sheds her bad boyfriend only to find more complex relationships on her road to discovering her own groove. One person in the mix is Ruth's beatnik sister (Patricia Clarkson, in an Emmy-winning role), a joyous embodiment of thriving--if aging--counter culture. Another new character is Nate's old girlfriend, the granola-loving Lisa (Lili Taylor). With Brenda heading down another destructive course, Nate is at more than one crossroads by season's end. For fans who groove with the wild, serio-comedic world of the Fishers (and let's face it, many didn't), the second season goes down like a fine meal of fusion cuisine. The show shares an unfortunate family trait with its HBO big brother: although both were lavished with multiple Emmy nominations the first two seasons, both took home only token awards. But then there's always next year. --Doug Thomas

The best show on TV, and yes, I do watch the Sopranos,
By Rob (The rolling hills of Livonia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Six Feet Under: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Honestly, I'm more excited for the THIRD season (arguably the best so far, with, I think, the best season closer), and season two is probably my least favorite of the three seasons so far. BUT, the show was still great, and within the context of the series, essential viewing. A good deal of season two is devoted to setting up the action for season three (For instance, the introduction of Lisa, Brenda's actions, David and Keith's relationship, etc), so it sometimes feels like more of a build-up than a payoff (especially in retrospect). In fact, one of the main storylines is left in suspense til the season three opener. But the remainder of these plots still remain entertaining and do have closure in one sense or another. And of course, there's still plenty of entertaing dead-person-of-the-episode plots keeping things fresh. Overall, the second season, despite it's sophomore year faults, is still some of the best that television has to offer, and a must-have for any fan.

It's not supposed to be in widescreen.,
By "fbeaton" (Portland, OR US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Six Feet Under: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
To the gentleman who was upset about the DVDs being offered in full-screen format:Widescreen is preferable if -- and ONLY if -- the television program was originally shot in widescreen format (as most feature films are). But if the show was shot using the standard television aspect ratio of 4:3 (as "Six Feet Under" was), then you WANT it in full-screen format, because that's how it was intended to be seen. A lot of shows are adding black letterbox bars to their DVD releases in an effort to make the shows look more "cinematic," but if the show was not originally shot in widescreen, the black bars are actually COVERING UP part of the frame, damaging the composition in order to appeal to DVD collectors who don't realize that NOT EVERYTHING is shot in 1.65:1. "Six Feet Under" is being presented the way it was shot and the way the series' directors wanted it to be seen. Kudos to HBO for NOT presenting the series in faux-widescreen.

Six Feet under is Two thumbs up!,
By
This review is from: Six Feet Under: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Brilliant concept. All the actors/actresses seem to have been born for theircharacter parts which, of course, has a lot to do with the directors. Each script is superb. I'm now in the middle of the third season and will eventually obtain the entire series. The whole cast is evidently totally dedicated to making this wonderful HBO series completely satisfying.
