Nathaniel and Isabel

*** SPOILER ALERT! ***

Don’t read this if you’re a Six Feet Under fan and aren’t completely caught up yet!

So this week’s SFU episode was one of the best they’ve ever had, in my opinion. It was quite moving watching the Fischer clan lay Nate to rest after watching this guy struggle to be a decent man for so many years.

Of particular interest was the timely return of Billy - the perpetually unstable and sometimes terrifying character played by Jeremy Sisto. The nature of Billy’s tumultuous relationship with his sister Brenda has been one of the most complex and ambiguous themes in the show’s 5-year run, and it’s good to see him return as the series comes to an end.

I’m really gonna miss Six Feet Under. Good job, Alan Ball.
