I would definitely recommend Six Feet Under. It took me a little while to REALLY get into it but I thought the very first episode was great (and it's nothing like Dexter... more along the lines of Sopranos)... but it's hard to describe to those who haven't seen it yet. Brilliantly written, brilliantly told, brilliantly acted... I've just never experienced such raw human emotion on a TV show before.
The two brothers (one being Peter Krause from Parenthood, other being Michael C Hall) run a funeral home. But it's about so much more than that. There is not a single bad actor on the show, IMO. The family is probably one of the most "real" ever portrayed on TV. The show can be quirky and kind of odd sometimes (the first ep has a few 'infomercials' that are funny but kind of
), and it can defintiely be graphic and explicit. But not for shock value, again, it's just... very real.
It's different, at times funny, at times sad, and basically any human emotion that is possible. Michael C. Hall plays a gay man and is in one of the realest gay relationships I have seen portrayed on television. I actually think it could open people eyes that are maybe opposed or don't understand.
I literally was BAWLING MY EYES out by myself in bed at like 2am watching the finale. Try not to google too much, don't see spoilers. One of the best finales on television besides Breaking Bad IMO.
