Six Feet of Settling In
The first season of Six Feet Under concludes in the light of the death of the ever-irritating Tracy's aunt, with each protagonist involved in a subplot that is unquestionably important to them: Nate and Brenda begin to discuss marriage, and their own mortality is threatened, David faces yet another obstacle challenging his sexuality, Claire pulls an typical teenager's move and sneaks away to a party and Ruth takes strides in deciding what she wants and who she wants to be with in her life.
This is my first watch of the series, so I am still discovering the unique qualities that it has to offer, but I feel that it was this episode that solidified an attachment between myself and each of the characters. I could use just one word to define each of them as Ball has created them - 'human'. We have already had the privilege, in these thirteen episodes alone, to experience multiple facets of each of the main and even some of the supporting characters, with some of the facets being particularly unflattering. I think this is where Six Feet Under grabs you, unlike other shows, and forces you to watch, not because it is enjoyable, but because it is part of life. This is Billy's mental illness, every argument between Nate and Brenda, and especially Tracy - until now the 'comedy relief' and essentially a straight woman to fancy David - and her heart-rending breakdown towards the end of this episode. As I sat transfixed, with Nate delivering a poignant message about life, I realised that this episode, this season, and indeed this whole show is something special. Through the good and the bad, both of which abound in this episode, with moments that will make you both grin in pleasure and widen your eyes in despair, you unconsciously have to develop feelings for each of these characters.
'Knock, Knock' feels like the show's undisputed 'settling in' point. As the episode fades out (with a happy ending, don't fear) I feel ready and eager to delve into Season 2, and I can't wait to see what faces the Fishers (and Federico) face next.
