Sex and Sexuality in the Shadow of Death: Reflections on the First Two Seasons of Six Feet Under

ABSTRACT In this short article, arising out of the context of the author’s participation in an audience research study of spectatorial uses of the moving image, depictions of sex and sexuality in HBO’s Six Feet Under are explored, with particular reference to the way in which the show’s seeming awareness of unconscious processes is deployed in order to make the characters more whole.
