Still no sign of The Sopranos, but HBO's other acclaimed series, Six Feet Under, is coming to HBO Asia this October. Here's their press release:
SIX FEET UNDER coming soon to HBO Asia
HBO's new highly-anticipated and much-talked about series, Six Feet Under, will make its exclusive debut on HBO in October. Created and executive-produced by Alan Ball who won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar last year for the smash hit "American Beauty". The series is about the life of a Los Angeles family in the business of death.
Using dramatic irony and dark, situational humor, Six Feet Under approaches the subject of death through the eyes of the Fisher family, who own and operate Fisher & Sons Funeral Home in Lost Angeles.
Six Feet Under is nominated for 23 Emmy Awards this year including "Outstanding Drama Series", "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series" and "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series".
HBO Asia will be airing a special two-hour premiere of Six Feet Under on October 12 at 10:50pm. New episodes every Tuesday at 10pm.
I'm really curious about this show, since it picked up the most number of Emmy nominations (23) this year. Runner up was The West Wing, with 21 nominations.
