I've been (slowly) watching Six Feet Under again -- easily my favorite television series, but I don't watch very much television, so that really doesn't say very much. The interesting thing to me is how the subjective quality of the show, to me, is practically an inverted bell-curve: the first season is great, the third wallows too much in melodrama, and the show resolves on an extraordinary high note with the fifth.

And... on that note, I'm really looking forward to getting to the final episode again. That show ended perfectly.
