Six Feet Under

[dk_psy]

I started watching SFU for the first series, but then the comedy got far too black and depressing for me and I watched it no more unless I flicked and it was on.

I saw the last episode last night, which was fantastic and the ending was, in my opinion, one of the best endings of any programme/film ever. But can someone give me a rough overview of what happened in each series?

Can anyone doing this please ensure that they put big spoiler warnings in it - better still, colour it in white text! Just finished season 2 here. I understand 3&4 aren't so good, but season 5 is supposed to be right up there with the best of the best.
