先稀饭上了HBO的Sex and the City，然后爱屋及乌，又看了The Sopranos，最近又看了Six Feet Under前两季DVD。HBO的show真是好看啊！！！

Six Feet Under的编剧/制片人Alan Ball也是American Beauty的编剧/制片人。两个片子有异曲同工之处，都是讲述一个dysfunctional family的故事，充满黑色幽默。围绕这个家庭的生活琐事、他们的关系和矛盾，展现一群普通人的悲喜苦乐。

Fisher一家是开殡仪馆的，有母亲Ruth、大儿子Nate、小儿子David和小女儿Claire。创办人老Fisher在第一集中车祸去世了。老Fisher出车祸时，Nate正在机场的储藏间和刚刚认识的Brenda做爱，Claire正在和朋友磕药…… 老Fisher尽管已经不在人世，但是他却经常出现在家人的幻想中。他留下的家族业务由兄弟两人打理。Nate初入殡葬业务，为不被大连锁店收购而头疼。David是个gay，和男友Keith分分和和。Ruth是个control freak，期望与已经成年的儿女门拉近距离。叛逆的小女儿Claire不断惹祸，富有艺术天赋。

每一集都会有一个人死去，各种各样的死法，残酷的、荒诞的…….这些逝去的人们被送到殡仪馆，在那儿生者与死者进行对话，死者回首自己的人生，有庆幸也有牵挂，而生者会因死亡而被触动，思索什么才是短暂人生的意义。
