Six Feet Under
2001–2005Drama
David and Keith are still the benchmark for a long-term couple on screen.
A family funeral home, and one of TV’s best gay relationships.
Our take
Alan Ball’s series about the Fishers, who run a funeral home and are all, in various ways, unwell. It is not a queer show as such, but David Fisher’s arc across five seasons — closeted funeral director, his relationship with a cop, the fights, the therapy, the adoption — is one of the most complete portraits of a gay man television has managed.
Crucially, they are allowed to be bad at it. David and Keith argue about money and jealousy and whether either of them wants children, like a real couple rather than a message. And the final six minutes of the series remain the best ending any drama has ever landed.

The plot, officially
When death is your business, what is your life? For the Fisher family, the world outside of their family-owned funeral home continues to be at least as challenging as—and far less predictable than—the one inside.
