Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin lately took to his weblog to debate a few of his favourite episodes of TV exhibits, and when it got here to the greatest sequence finale of all time, the writer named HBO’s Six Feet Under, which I can’t argue with as a result of I agree with him. He defined:
“If I had to pick one episode that was even more perfect than all the others on the list… it would have to be the final episode of ‘Six Feet Under,’ I liked that series well enough, though I cannot say I loved it as much as I loved ‘Rome’ or ‘Deadwood’ or ‘Fargo’ or a few other shows missing from the list, but that last episode was far and away the best finale in the entire history of television, and I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly do better.”
Six Feet Under definitely took viewers on fairly an insane and unpredictable journey. I loved watching that present and that sequence finale, that closing episode was good.
The sequence was created by Alan Ball, and it aired on HBO from 2001 to 2005. The story delves into the lives of the Fisher household, who run a funeral dwelling in Los Angeles. Following the sudden demise of the household patriarch, Nathaniel Fisher, his two sons, Nate and David, take over the household enterprise. The present explores the private {and professional} challenges they face whereas coping with the emotional and logistical elements of demise every day. The narrative is underscored by the presence of the deceased, who usually work together with the residing characters in dream sequences or visions, offering a singular lens by way of which the present examines life, demise, household, and human connection.
Martin’s ideas on the matter have been sparked by a Vanity Fair article titled “25 Perfect TV Episodes From the Last 25 Years,” and he additionally identified his favourite episodes from listing, together with “The Suitcase” from Mad Men and “the heart-wrenching ‘Ozymandias’” from Breaking Bad.
Martin added, “The Sopranos had lots of great episodes, but ‘The Pine Barrens’ was particular, and for the whole remainder of the sequence I saved ready for that Russian to show up once more once we least anticipated.” Other episodes embody “Middle Ground” from The Wire, and Martin additionally added that “The show was so good, it came close to perfection pretty frequently,” Which is tough to argue with.
He additionally added Black Mirror to the listing saying, “‘San Junipero’ is the episode I love to watch over and over, and tell my friends to watch.”
Martin wrapped up his ideas saying: “I feel very pleased and flattered to be in such great company. No work of art is ever truly perfect, of course… but it is very gratifying to hear that maybe you achieved it, or at least came close… for some of your readers (or viewers)… once in a very great while. There is always a next time, though… and regardless of how well (or poorly) one of my tales is received, I always want to do better the next time I sit down in front of the computer.”
