    Six Feet Under

    It was an HBO show from 2000-2005. The series followed a Los Angeles family who owned a funeral home. In the beginning of each episode, someone would die and be brought to their funeral home. That person's death would help carry each episode's theme essentially both directly and indirectly. Mostly, the show dealt with death and grief as its main themes. It will always be my favorite show of all time, because it helped me understand human mortality better. It also had a main character who dealt with coming out to his family and accepting himself as being gay, which in high school, was what I was dealing with. It helped me connect to something and to not feel so afraid.

    EDIT: It also has probably one of the greatest finales too. Even thinking about it is making me tear up.
