5-star series in a 4-star presentation [Posted on 2008-08-12]
I assume you have already come to terms (and made your peace) with the fact that SIX FEET UNDER is by and far one of the best-written television shows in history. If you haven't, all you need to do is watch an episode.

Let's talk about the Gift Set Box instead.

The box holds all 5 seasons: 25 discs (including 2 audio soundtracks) as well as a beautifully-executed hardbound 'memorium' that describes and reflects upon the principal characters (DO NOT READ THE BOOKLET IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE COMPLETE SERIES).

The box itself is large enough to hold the original seasons' in the original interior "fold-out" trays. The box itself is decorated on each side to look like fresh, healthy soil, complete with grass roots at the top.

The actual TOP of the box has fine, green astro-turf-like material attached to it, complete with a resin "headstone" in the center of the top panel that reads SIX FEET UNDER.

In order to get into the box, you open it from the side, upwards. This reveals the interior panel of the box and inside you are treated to what it would look like if you were laying in a coffin. The cast looks down at you respectfully, and each season slides out in its' own wallet.

All in all, an excellent presentation that is only slightly awkward due to the way you need to pull the side "flap" of the box up in order to get into it. I also have noticed quite a bit of the green "grass" comes loose around the edges of the set. These are minor quibbles. The entire case sits at the same height and width as other standard "complete season" box-sets, so placing it into your collection poses no problems. However, given the quality and presentation of this beautiful set, I would recommend finding a flat surface for showcasing the complete series instead of losing it on your DVD wall.

Buy It Now [Posted on 2008-08-13]
Buy this series now. I cant say enough good things about this series. This comes a close second to Band of Brothers. Congrats HBO on one hell of a series.

Great show [Posted on 2008-09-22]
I didn't have HBO back when this show originally aired but I'd heard good things about it, and I found it on sale, so I decide to take a chance and ordered all 5 seasons. I was captivated right from the start. This show is funny, gross, heart warming and heart wrenching all at the same time. It's seriously one of the best shows I've ever watched. Plus, unlike other shows (i.e The Sopranos), the finial episode of this series didn't suck! It wraps up everything nicely and leaves you feeling satisfied not disappointed.

It's a great show and I recommend it 100%

One note of caution... One of the characters in this series is gay and there are quite a few scenes throughout the series that depict gay sex and gay relationships. So if that is something that offends you then you may want to avoid this series. Personally it caught me a little off guard at first, as it's not something I'm accustom to seeing, but it did not detract from my enjoyment of the series.

Entertaining and Addictive [Posted on 2008-10-01]
I bought this Boxset little over a month ago and I can tell you that it's worth all your money and then some. The characters are so well thought out that you'll be in situations where you won't even think "this is a TV show". I started watching it on the first day and couldn't stop, went through 2-3 episodes a night before going to bed. It's definitely not a show to watch with your kids or younger ones around so bare that in mind. I absolutely adore this boxset. I actually bought it without even seeing a preview or episode, so if your into deep human interactions do yourself a favor and pick this up.

One disc faulty so far [Posted on 2008-10-04]
I'm watching the series through now and I've received ONE faulty disc so far that stalls. The box came in shreds and looked beat up. Was NOT impressed.
