Six Feet Under tv showSix Feet Under is an American drama, originally broadcast on HBO from 2001 to 2005. The tv show, with its title being a colloquialism for death (six feet being the traditional depth at which a body would be laid), centers on a family-run mortuary, Fisher and Sons Funeral Home, and explores the lives of the Fisher family following the death of their father.

The series received much critical acclaim and praise, winning three Golden Globe awards and nine Emmy awards during the course of its run. It also also won the Screen Actors Guild award for Best Ensemble for a Drama Series two years in a row (2003 and 2004).

Set in modern-day Los Angeles, most of the scenes are in the family owned and operated Fisher and Sons Funeral Home. The family resides on the upper floors of the funeral home. The main floor is used for the business as viewing and chapel rooms, while the basement is for the embalming and body preparation areas.

The concept of Six Feet Under focuses on human mortality and the lives of those who deal with it on a daily basis. Throughout its 5-season, 63-episode run, major characters experience crises which are in direct relation to their environment. According to creator Allan Ball, Six Feet Under refers not only to being buried as a dead body is buried, but to primal emotions and feelings running under the surface.
