The show also received two Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Series-Drama and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series (Rachel Griffiths).
A "funny, warm, offbeat" (Newsweek) and "addictive" (Wall Street Journal) drama series, Six Feet Under is so "compelling" that "missing an episode becomes unimaginable" (Washington Post).
