Average customer review: 
I have seen this show a few times and really enjoyed it but I never
bought Six Feet Under - The Complete Series Gift Set since it was quite
expensive and I was waiting for the price to go down.
This new set is cheaper ($67 - the old one is now discontinued).
All 24 dvds are hosted in a book you can flip with one disk per spread
(made of cardboard with glossy inner pockets - Similar to HBO Rome
complete DVD set). It's a third of the size comparing to the original
boxset.
The 2 CD soundtrack is not included in this boxset.
One of the best Series in TV history
Six Feet Under is one of the best series I have seen. It combines
humor, philosophy, psychology, irony, and entertainment in a very
unique way--unlike any other show I have seen.
I discovered this show half way through its airing and am grateful
to have the entire set to view from the beginning and in order.
I don't know why they took away the audio CD's in this set vs. the
old set--however, they are not the reason I wanted the series and I
would not be that disappointed to not have them. They can be purchased
separately if you are serious about having the music.
While there is at least one death at the beginning of the show and
the show takes place mostly in a funeral home, there is plenty of
humor, excitement, entertainment. There is (as with many HBO shows also
a lot of language and sex). Every show is very well done but since
there is a storyline of following the family, it is best to watch in
order. The finale is the best finale i've ever seen on TV.
The deleted scenes and extras make this set even more fun to watch than the original shows.
Definitely worth the money and time and best of all this new set is less expensive and takes up less space.
Content review.
I thought I would chirp in and give my endorsement to this series.
As far as the packaging of said series, really, as far as I'm concerned
if the discs work and are quality transfers, I'm not too critical
usually.
Show-wise, this is one of the best, most thought provoking and
challenging programs I have ever watched. I just finished the last
episode a few hours ago and I am still in kind of a state of shock at
how much I have been affected by the five season story of the Fishers.
This series is top tier HBO quality, setting a benchmark that only the
best of the best can ever achieve. And usually when they do, it is only
for a season or two at the most, but Six Feet Under maintained top
notch writing and acting throughout.
A word of caution: If you are sensitive to controversial issues
such as homosexuality, or get queezy with sexual content, this MAY not
be the program for you. My mom, for example, would probably not make it
through the first episode. If you feel that House and CSI are the
pinnacle of television achievement, then Six Feet Under may be too far
of a reach for you. But, if you give it time and an open mind, you may
come around!
RIP Fisher family.
