What Parents Need to Know
About Six Feet Under
Parents need to know that this well-executed drama deals with mature subjects like sex, intimacy, abortion, death, drugs, and violence. Each episode begins with a death, sometimes violently depicted, and later we often see the corpse being prepared for the funeral. Both adult and older teen characters have sex in and out of healthy and/or committed relationships, and though we don't see genitals, scenes are sometimes explicit. Drug use is common and only sometimes portrayed negatively.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about death and funerals. What would teens like to be remembered for? How would they like their life celebrated? What are parents' beliefs about the afterlife, cremation, open caskets? Also, what makes the characters on the show so rich? What are their traits and flaws? How do the characters change and grow through the seasons, and why is it sometimes hard to break out of established patterns? How do the deaths that begin each episode relate to the main characters' experiences during the show?

It was good but...
It is a very good show but it is not for people under the age of 17. Except Bravo tv is running an edited type of the show. The bravo version I would let my 14 year old watch it.
