Mastero20 — Well put about this feeling like the conclusion to Season 1 and 2. In part inspired by these recaps, I recently raced through all five seasons of Six Feet Under, and came away feeling like Seasons 1-2 make a strangely perfect and complete run of TV. Season 1-2 tells the story of the Fisher family in the…
