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

Good character development

[hugocaetano · 8/10 · 25 April 2020]

Every single character of the show gets lots of development and that's how I like it.

Nate and Brenda get closer, and their relationship, since it was so different from the standard, is really interesting. David continues keeping Keith away from his family, and keeps his secret for himself. Claire and Gabe also get closer, even though this storyline wasn't as engaging as the others. Ruth is a surprising character, with a very young soul, lol...

What is very great about this episode is how they manage to mix reality with their thoughts and feeling. Claire dancing "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" is an excellent moment I'll never forget.

The final scene is the top-moment: David finally mourns his father's death, after a mysterious Brenda takes him and his brother to the bus that killed him. The music is so sad and calming, and their performances are brilliant.

Really getting into this show!

not as good as the start but still pretty nice

The acting is still absolutely fantastic, no doubt about it, but the plot isn't as intense or emotional as the previous episode for sure. We are still leaning back on the death of the father, and I'm sure we are going to get some more flashbacks and hallucinations with him throughout the rest of this season. Am I annoyed by this? Not really, but I do hope some other conflicts arise that keep me invested into this show. This episode, titled: "The Will" is all about the conflicting consequences that come from the money and ownership of the property and wealth (via the father). It makes sense that we are still focusing on his death, since its fresh in their minds still, but I hope the plot gets more and more deeper as we continue to understand these characters. Highlights include: the ending (again) where David finally grieves over the death of his father and that's kind of it. Most of the episode is just development for future plot points I feel like, and some of these I care about less than others. This includes the teenage girl and that obviously lame guy which I couldn't care less about, or the relationship between Nate and the (cheating?) wife that he is banging. I did miss a lot of the Black Comedy from the last episode, because to be honest, a lot of this runtime was just so damn depressing, but hey-sometimes we need a little sadness in our lives. Solid episode for sure.
