Though the overt theme of the series is mortality--every episode opens with the death of someone whose body will end up on the Fishers' slab--but the third season, even moreso than the first two, explores the intertwining struggles for connection and for personal freedom. The season starts slowly but compellingly, laying out the changes in the Fishers' lives. Nate (Peter Krause, We Don't Live Here Anymore) has married and has a baby. David (Michael C. Hall) is settling into tense domesticity with his angry boyfriend. Claire (Lauren Ambrose) has launched into art school. Ruth (Frances Conroy), their mother, is reaching out for companionship from an emotionally stilted young intern, and Brenda (Rachel Griffiths, Hilary and Jackie), Nate's ex-fiancee, has apparently vanished from their lives. But as storylines unfold across the 13 episodes, the emotional heft of the season comes from the expanded roles of the family's intimates. Federico (Freddy Rodriguez), who has leveraged his way into a partnership with the Fisher brothers, finds himself fighting to be treated as an equal at work and struggling with his wife's depression at home. Trying to sort out their relationship, David and Keith (Mathew St. Patrick) negotiate everything from therapy to threesomes. Meanwhile Lisa (Lili Taylor, I Shot Andy Warhol), Nate's unhappy wife, increasingly becomes the center of the season as her jealousy and need become unbearable. Though big events happen, the most jolting drama on Six Feet Under comes from small conflicts--miscommunications, crossed desires, habits that don't mesh. The cast, writers, and directors can, with breathtaking skill and subtlety, spin a brief conversation into a microcosm of the character's lives. By this third season, the show has taken on the richness and complexity of a great novel; it's an impressive and deeply enjoyable achievement. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very koolThe product was in great condition as described. It can fast and there were no problems. Rating: - Quicker then I exspected!!!Ok, I have been watching the 5 seasons of six feet under however, I found all but the third season. I was on the last episode of the second season and freaked out "I needed to have the third season before I watched the last episode on season two" so i looked on line Amazon popped up, the earliest I could recieve the third season was three days. I had to wait to watch the last episode on two:( luckly the very next day the third season was on my porch so, now I did not have to ration myself any longer!!!! ... Read More Rating: - Maybe the Best SeasonSeason 3 was a very memorable season for Six Feet Under. While they all were outstanding, it's hard to pick a favorite...but in season 3 they definitely hit their stride. In Season 3 we got to meet some new characters and some other characters that were more 'bit parts' got a storyline of their own. Rico is a favorite character of mine, underrated, and I was glad to see more of him. The character of Lisa I found fascenating. And David & Keith back together was what I'd been waiting for. ... Read More Rating: - Best Season So FarIt started slow, and I think that's one of the reasons why it's so great. The first two or three episodes of this season were probably as good as any of the previous episodes, but I just felt like there was something missing from them. Like there was something off. I could already envision myself titling my review "Worst Season So Far" and I was only on the first disc. Well, that 'off' feeling quickly turned into awe. This season, more than anything, delves headfirst into the intricacies of ...
