25 Years Later, This Is Still HBO’s Most Ambitious Show

Unlike shows like Oz, Sex and the City, and The Sopranos that generated a lot of hype, Six Feet Under quietly built its success. It didn’t rely on famous actors – instead, it launched the careers of Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, and Frances Conroy. The show trusted its unique characters and atmosphere, and that gamble paid off, culminating in a series finale often hailed as the greatest ever.
