Six Feet Under (TV Series) The Room (2001) User Reviews

One of the best episodes of television ever written.

[g000dn · 10/10 · 31 May 2021]

This episode is so beautifully crafted. This episode is full of heartbreaking scenes of Nate trying to piece together the puzzle that is his enigmatic father and his life- trying to understand what all of these clues about his father mean, while also subconsciously struggling with the possibility that his clues weren't actually clues at all.

Nate's struggle to figure out who his father was, just a bit too late, while also watching Mr. Jones, who knew everything about his wife of 56 years that passed away is such a devastating and wonderful juxtaposition.

The way this episode manages to capture two entirely different forms of grief is truly remarkable and something that I wasn't able to appreciate until I rewatched this series multiple times, and now I consider it to be one of the most beautiful and devastating episodes of television ever filmed.

Hattie. Hattie?

As each of our main characters' love lives reach a crossroads, we see one of the most heaviest episodes yet. A beautiful airing of frustrations about what we can't do before our closest family is gone, and meditative about how life-long marriages and dying alone. It's very telling that later in the episode, neither of our brothers admit that they have little contact outside of practical sense, and how Nate has a severe lack of information on his dad. It helps us comprehend some of the sources of dysfunction. The *couple* that dies in this episode is especially central to the themes in this plot and Mr.Jones is memorable and lovable as he is lively. Next to Familia, the greatest exercises of the show's triumphs yet and we're not even 1/5 through it. P.S: I hope Keith comes back.
