In this golden age of television, at any given moment we have thousands and thousands of options of brilliant and entertaining TV shows but there are only a few TV shows that will stay with you long after you have finished watching. You will think about their characters, their stories, and in some cases their endings. So, today we thought of making a list of a few shows that you must watch (because of their brilliance) before you die.

Fleabag (Prime Video) Credit – Prime Video

Fleabag is a British dark comedy-drama series created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Based on Waller-Bridge’s one-woman show of the same name, the Prime Video series follows a dry-witted young woman in London as she navigates through the complexities of love and life without any life while dealing with a tragedy. Fleabag stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge,...

Six Feet Under probably doesn’t come to most people’s minds when discussing HBO’s best series because it doesn’t have a controversial, overarching subject matter.

The Sopranos remains appealing to new viewers mainly due to its mafia backdrop. The Wire catches eyes because cop dramas are a known quantity. With Six Feet Under, however, creator Alan Ball (who also helmed HBO’s queer-coded horror spectacle True Blood) crafted a simple drama about a loving yet chaotic family who runs a funeral home. That doesn’t seem all that exciting to an audience member going in with no prior knowledge. Still, all it should take is a few episodes of the show for that viewer to become instantly obsessed with the raw, authentic characters and real life issues that it expertly depicts.

From death anxiety to coping with chronic illness, the series forces the people on screen and...

This article contains spoilers for the Six Feet Under series finale.

Every episode of Six Feet Under begins with an ending.

While not as well-regarded as its early 2000s HBO drama brethren The Sopranos and The Wire, Six Feet Under is still an important part of HBO, and therefore television, history. It’s also very good, as Netflix subscribers can now find out thanks to Warner Bros. Discovery’s content-sharing initiative with the streamer. (Previous HBO titles moving to Netflix include Band of Brothers and Ballers).

Created by Alan Ball (True Blood), Six Feet Under premiered on June 3, 2001 and followed the Fisher family as they tried to keep the family business of Fisher & Sons Funeral Home together after the death of paterfamilias Nate Sr. (Richard Jenkins). Naturally for a show set in a funeral home, the opening minutes of each Six Feet Under installment features a death that will produce...

George R.R. Martin, the acclaimed author of the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, which was adapted into the hit HBO show Game of Thrones, is not only a master storyteller, but also an avid fan of television. He has often praised the medium for its ability to create immersive and complex narratives, and has shared his opinions on various shows and episodes on his blog and in interviews. In this article, we will look at some of the TV episodes that Martin has named as his favorites over the years, and what makes them stand out for him.

Another legacy series could be returning to HBO.

Variety is reporting that a follow-up to Six Feet Under is in development.

The outlet stresses that the potential project is in "very early development."

Projects in development are not guaranteed to get a pilot, never mind a series order, so there's no telling how this might shake out.

Also, no plot details have been revealed, and it is not currently known if it will include any of the original stars.

The TV industry is obsessed with bringing projects from the past back as reboots, revivals, or a mixture of the two.

Some are successful, but the vast majority fail to garner much traction.

Six Feet Under came from Alan Ball, and the cast included Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy, Lauren Ambrose, Freddy Rodriguez, Mathew St. Patrick, and Rachel Griffiths.

It first launched in 2001 and lasted five seasons.

It focused...

A follow-up series to Alan Ball’s Six Feet Under is being explored by HBO, Deadline has learned.

The project is in its very early stages; I hear the premium network has commissioned a script, with no firm concept and no writer attached yet. Series creator/executive producer Ball and executive producers Bob Greenblatt and David Janollari are on board to executive produce the project, which was first reported by Deadline’s sister pub Variety.

Created and produced by Ball, Six Feet Under aired for five seasons on HBO from 2001-2005. It centered around the lives of the Fisher family, who run a funeral home in Los Angeles, along with their friends and lovers.

Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy, Lauren Ambrose, Freddy Rodriguez, Mathew St. Patrick, and Rachel Griffiths starred in the ensemble drama. It was produced by Actual Size Films and The Greenblatt/Janollari Studio.

Deadline asked...

A follow-up to “Six Feet Under” is in very early development at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

At this time, no writer is attached to the project. Likewise, no plotline has been decided, meaning it could be a reboot or more of a sequel series following up on existing characters from the show in the present day, but no decision has been made. Original series creator Alan Ball and executive producers Bob Greenblatt and David Janollari are all attached to executive produce the new project.

Reps for HBO declined to comment. Reps for Ball did not immediately respond to Variety’s request for comment.

“Six Feet Under” aired on from 2001-2005 for five seasons and 63 episodes. The show followed the lives of the Fisher family and their associates in the running of a funeral home in Los Angeles.

The cast included Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy,...

It's easy to imagine that, 15 years from now, television audiences will take for granted the existence of groundbreaking series like Orange Is the New Black and Transparent. But it's impossible to look at the currently lush television landscape without acknowledging the debt that most popular shows owe to HBO at the turn of the new millennium.

While network television continued raking in the advertising dollars with surefire bets and lowest-common denominators, the premium cable channel was kickstarting its own quiet revolution, finding success in a variety of genres from pop-cultural...

Going into the Nov. 11 episode of Sons of Anarchy, 49 percent of readers thought Tyler (Mo McRae) had already turned on Samcro, per an EW.com poll. But spoiler alert: They were wrong. Moses demanded Tyler help him find out where the club was hiding the dead preacher's wife and stepson, so Tyler led him to To (and Rat). It was, however, all part of Jax's latest plan, which ended with To sending Moses and his men into a Samcro-led ambush. Fittingly, since Tyler's been a double agent in Sons' final season, McRae is now in Detroit shooting an indie film...

Spoiler alert: The Nov. 11 episode of Sons of Anarchy found Jax taking the expression "an eye for an eye" literally: After ambushing Moses (Mathew St. Patrick) and his men, he ripped out Moses' eyeball, which dangled out of its socket. (Chibs then cut off Moses' fingers before Jax put a bullet in his head, mirroring the fate Bobby had suffered.) The eye was stomach-turning and awesome, which is why we asked Sons' head of makeup Tracey Anderson how she did it. First, she got a stock hanging eyeball and eye socket from W.M. Creations, Oscar and Emmy winner Matthew W. Mungle's company.

Sons of Anarchy fans are still reeling from the Nov. 4 episode, which said goodbye to Bobby (Mark Boone Junior). But Billy Brown, the actor who plays August Marks, the Big Bad who pulled the trigger, may actually be able to cheer them up with a couple of great behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Entertainment Weekly: Did Kurt Sutter give you a heads-up that Marks would ultimately take out Bobby this season, or was it something you learned reading the script for this episode? What was your reaction? Brown: I rolled into the Sons lot on that afternoon, around the corner from the stages,...

Spoiler alert: In the Nov. 4 episode of Sons of Anarchy, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) made another play to get Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) back from August Marks (Billy Brown). Bobby's fate—a bullet to the head from the gun Marks had hidden on him before the no-weapons-allowed exchange—will have surprised the fans who voted Samcro's de facto conscience the club member most likely to survive in a pre-season EW.com poll. "I took that as a great compliment that people actually wanted me to survive," Boone says. "I think that this show does surprising things more than most shows, and...

Sons of Anarchy, "What a Piece of Work is Man,” begins with Jax (Charlie Hunnam) steeling himself for an inevitable confrontation with the Indian Hills after killing Jury, and his ongoing dealings with August Marks (Billy Brown).

Sons of Anarchy Recap

Upon learning that Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) was further mutilated after he didn’t give Marks everything he wanted, Jax needs to rethink how he’s going to deal with him. Jax reasons that he can use the compromising video of the pastor as blackmail against Marks. Grant (Arjay Smith) points out to Jax that his previous blackmail plan hadn’t worked out so well. In fact, hardly any of Jax’s plans have gone all that well lately.

When Tyler (Mo McRae) shows up, Jax asks him to set up a meeting with Marks or Moses (Mathew St. Patrick) to show them he’s ready to give them...

With Juice in prison on a mission from Jax, Samcro turns their attention to finding Bobby and looking for the internal rat. How will Jax retaliate for Bobby's mutilation by August Marks?

Marks' representative, Moses Cartwright (Mathew St. Patrick) returns and Jax meets with Jury White (Michael Shamus Wiles) from the Indian Hills chapter of Samcro.

Spoiler alert: The Oct. 21 episode of Sons of Anarchy, "Greensleeves," ended with Jax (Charlie Hunnam) receiving a box from August Marks that will haunt Samcro and viewers. Exec producer Paris Barclay, who directed the episode, takes EW inside filming that tragic twist and the other big moments. EW: Let's start at the beginning, with Juice being given back his cut at the site of John Teller's death, then setting off on his mission to get himself arrested so he can kill Lin inside. What is the significance of that site now? Barclay: I believe that it's going to be an...

Patti Labelle’s career is taking a Freak-ish turn.

The Grammy winning music legend will appear in four episodes of American Horror Story: Freak Show, playing the mother of Gabourey Sidibe’s character, TVLine has confirmed.

According to an insider, Labelle’s alter ego — who I’m told does not sing — is a local townsperson who begins to unravel the murderous secrets of Twisty the clown killer.

The latest edition of FX’s anthology hit (premiering this fall) centers on the last freak show in America circa 1952 and stars Ahs vets Jessica Lange,...

According to a recent report from TV Line, the "Sons Of Anarchy" season 7 peeps have added actor, Mathew St. Patrick (left), to their payroll to portray character, Moses, who is described as being the head of a security team that will take care of business on the street. He's scheduled to make his first appearance in episode 7. Mathew's acting resume includes a role in Six Feet Under. As previously reported, season 7's storyline is going to leap ahead 10 days from the season 6 finale. Jax is going to be in jail on a parole violation and not surprisingly reeling over Tara's death. Season 7 is due to debut on Tuesday night, September 9th at 9pm central time on FX. Stay tuned.

Jax Teller is on the warpath.

The final season of Sons of Anarchy is not stopping their plans for a big season. It was just announced that Six Feet Under‘s Mathew St. Patrick will be coming on to the show for an arc.

George Takei: “I take no solace or joy in this man’s passing. We will not dance upon his grave, nor stand vigil at his funeral holding “God Hates Freds” signs, tempting as it may be. He was a tormented soul, who tormented so many. Hate never wins out in the end. It instead goes always to its lonely, dusty end.”

A warning for all you lesbians: this episode included too little of Tyra, and she appeared just as sassy-and-great-friend-to-Emily instead of looking-for-some-ass lesbian Tyra, and there was also no Hot Molly, or anything else overtly gay. But wait, before you go! Another truth: I still really, really loved this episode. I love each episode of this show more and more, which results in me feeling angrier and angrier about the network’s decision.

And even though there weren’t overtly gay things, there was further character development of Bandari (rejoice!), and a wonderful, complex storyline around fandom. Count me all the way in.

We begin with Emily lamenting that her life has become stuck in a dull rut, all too akin (again) to her high school days: she has the crush, the nemesis, the mean teacher. Except in high school she probably wasn...

Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC

Robert Greenblatt, NBC’ s new chairman and president of programming, might not think there is anything remarkable about his ascendancy to the top of the Peacock network, but then again he’s pretty modest about all of his achievements. However, given that Greenblatt is the first out gay man to head a broadcast network, AfterElton.com is inclined to disagree with him rather emphatically. In fact, we're more than happy to say we think his new position is an important step for Glbt visibility.

Greenblatt’s latest promotion is just another in a long list of achievements including, after this Saturday, the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, which GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) will bestow on Greenblatt for his contributions toward eliminating homophobia. (The award is named after the successful Los Angeles casting director who worked to fight AIDS-phobia and homophobia in Hollywood.)

Lets face it, as television viewers we grow attached to the gay characters that resonate with us on the small screen, and with the actors that bring life to these roles. We also find ourselves growing fond of out-and-proud actors that have opted to play it straight thats why its called acting, people and vice versa.

So when their shows are cancelled or taken off the air before they wear out their welcome (whatever, I still miss Sex and the City on Sunday nights, ok?), it can be a little bit difficult to see them slide into other TV roles easier than Lindsay Lohan checking into another rehab (Im rootin for you, girl).

Alas, sometimes that isnt always the case, which might have you asking yourself, Where are they now? In some cases for these actors, it could be taken as a query of, Where did they disappear to?

But for curiosity's (and manner's) sake,...

Day 7: And so we begin the polls for the final section of the first round, and boy have we had some shockers so far. Yesterday's poll 'The West Wing vs. Lost' broke the record for the number of votes, and totally eclipsed all the other three polls. The West Wing may have lost and be out, but it scored more than the total of each of the other polls. For a while, it had a 14% lead and over 200 votes, but as America woke up, the lead disintegrated. It's a shame for such a good show, I have seen the first season and thoroughly enjoyed it, and I wish it could have got further but like 'The Sopranos' and 'Friends' amongst others, we say goodbye for now. Through is therefore 'Lost' with a huge 2000+ votes,...

We asked you which gay or bisexual TV characters you think are the best, and you told us – with tens of thousands of votes cast.

Now we have the results.

But first, a few interesting statistics.

We have quite a few familiar faces – characters who made our last poll of the best gay and bisexual characters two and a half years ago – and a few missing ones, namely Vince D’Angelo (from Will & Grace), George Huang (from Law & Order: Svu), and Waylon Smithers (from The Simpsons), all of whom didn’t even make the top 50 this time around.

Meanwhile, we also have many new faces – from shows that have debuted since our last poll.

Every single character except two comes from a show that ran in the 00s (although some shows, like Will & Grace, did debut in the late 90s). The exceptions? Jodie Dallas, played by Billy Crystal, on Soap...

There will be sort of a crossover between "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service" and its spin-off "NCIS: Los Angeles" when both take over the Tuesdays night this Fall. Pauley Perrette, who portrays the goth agent Abby Sciuto, will guest star in the second episode of "Los Angeles".

Executive producer Shane Brennan announced Friday, July 31 during TV Critics Association tour that Abby will have a "fun little cameo" in the new series, helping the unit in solving a case. Previously, Agents G. Callen (Chris O'Donnell) and Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) have made appearances on the original "NCIS" for two episodes, as means of introduction.

Additionally, Brennan also revealed a new "Los Angeles" character which they had kept hidden. Matthew St. Patrick, known as Keith in "Six Feet Under", will be a "former special ops guy who actually gets deeply involved in the case and may or may not be a bad guy.

There’s something about grocery stores. They have a sort of charm that’s currently going three for three, as far as recent horror/sci-fi entries with that setting go. Both The Mist and last year’s Splinter were excellent examples of the “trapped in a market” theme, and now comes Warner’s Raw Feed DVD release Alien Raiders (out February 17)—which, while not overly original, is nonetheless pretty awesome.

The film opens with some shaky handheld insight into our protagonists, getting ready for their next mission. Intercut between video clips and the main titles are shots of hands preparing some seriously heavy firepower. This is a risky move; it basically promises, “This flick is going to have bad-ass written all over it.” And it works. The characters we’re following are a team of operatives/mercenaries/soldiers of some sort with rad names like Ritter (Carlos Bernard), Sterling (Courtney Ford...

Television matters. Who and what we see on our screens each week tells us a great deal about who and what is relevant in society, who has power, and who doesn’t. That’s why AfterElton.com pays such close attention to the shows that have gay characters and gay storylines, analyzing what each new character and plot twist says about the acceptance of gay and bisexual men in today’s world.

Television programming as we know it today came into existence approximately seventy years ago. However, it took thirty-five years for the first semi-regularly recurring gay character to appear, on The Corner Bar, an 1972 ABC show that lasted for fifteen episodes and featured Vincent Schiavelli as Peter Panama. Over the next several years, gay characters popped up on other short-lived shows including Hot L Baltimore and The Nancy Walker Show, but it wasn’t until 1977 and Soap that gay...

Lou Diamond Phillips is the latest cast addition to NBC's one-hour pilot Backyards and Bullets.

Bullets, from Sony Pictures TV and Pariah, revolves around a suburban Neighborhood Watch group gone awry. Philips will play the police chief.

On Backyards, Phillips joins Billy Burke, Richard Ruccolo, Matthew St. Patrick and Kristin Lehman. Charles McDougall is directing the pilot.

Phillips most recently appeared in an arc on CBS' Numbers and an episode of USA Network's Psych.

Jessalyn Gilsig has joined NBC's one-hour pilot Backyards and Bullets as a regular, and John Cho has been tapped for a multiepisode arc on Fox's comedy series 'Til Death.

Bullets, from Sony Pictures TV and Pariah, revolves around a suburban Neighborhood Watch group gone awry. Gilsig will play the wife of the character played by Mathew St. Patrick.

Gilsig, who co-starred on such series as Nip/Tuck and Boston Public, most recently recurred on NBC's Heroes as Claire's (Hayden Panettiere) fire-starter birth mother and co-starred on the Fox drama pilot The Apostles.

The actress, who next will be seen in the remake of Prom Night, is repped by SDB Partners and Framework Entertainment.

On "'Til Death," also from SPT, Cho will play the arch nemesis to Jeff Woodcock (Eddie Kaye Thomas). In three episodes, Cho will play the principal of a prestigious private school who squares off with Woodcock, the public school's vice principal.

Cho is best known for starring opposite Kal Penn in the feature Harold & Kumar and its upcoming sequel.
