One of the best-rated TV shows of all time is now on Netflix

Netflix has just added the HBO show Six Feet Under in full to the streaming platform, and there’s never been a better time to binge the classic show.

Widely considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time, the five-season-long drama was created by Alan Ball. First broadcast on HBO from 2001 until 2005, it follows the lives of the Fisher family who run a funeral home in Los Angeles.

Predominately a family drama, it focuses on the daily life of the characters, their friends, and family. Each episode kicks off with a death, which sets the tone of the story before delving into issues ranging from mortality to religion, all with a hefty dose of dark humor too. The star-studded cast included Dexter’s Michael C. Hall, The Truman Show’s Peter Krause, American Horror Story’s Frances Conroy, and Yellowjackets’ Lauren Ambrose.

The show has got a lot of critical acclaim over the years, including winning nine Emmys, three Golden Globes, and a Peabody award. It’s also a mainstay of 'best of' lists, including GamesRadar’s own list of the 100 best TV shows of all time.
