A Comedy That's Deadly Serious

One of the great things about Ebay is getting to try things out at a fraction of their normal price - like this boxed set of DVDs of the hit USA series of Six Feet Under.
I first watched a few episodes of this show - I think the jargon term for it is 'dramedy' as it is a blend of humour and drama - when the entire first series appeared for free on my cable TV 'demand' services.
Like millions of others, I fell in love with its blend of pathos, humanity and belly laughs. All of which you have to guess do actually go on in a funeral home - it's a job like any other, and most of us get through our working days by laughing a little, don't we?
I wanted to see the next batch bu the boxed sets in the shops are pricey, and I do have a habit of going off something if I binge on it - a bit like if you drink too much Cider when you're 15 and can never touch a pint of Strongbow again!
This purchase was reasonably priced, in good condition, and sure enough, after watching the first disc I got a bit...bored. No fault of the show, and I look forward to going back and watching the rest some point soon.
But even if I never do, I only paid a few pounds for it - £12 I think - and as soon as I have watched them, I can relist them on Ebay and make a few pennies from them.
Sometimes you can encounter problems when buying discs, so make sure beforehand that they are definitely compatible with your system, and check out the seller's feedback thoroughly to make sure they are trustworthy - and ask them straight out if there are any scratches, marks or damage. Most people on Ebay are honest and good to deal with - just make sure you are comfortable with them before you hand over the cash.
