Interesting. There is a different way of looking at this, for me, each character imperfect as they are, they may have wanted sex PLUS more beyond and were struggling to find that/establish that in their relationships. Which is natural and normal for most folks-- no matter how religious or non-religious a person is. 6 ft. under did not reflect the dream mainstream image of family. I think the show reflects more reality...most families do experience abit of dysfunction at some point in time, either involving 1 or several family members, where someone is insecure, etc.

Would you have considered shows where characters are overtly searching for God or trying to meet/wrestle with overtly themes of Christian faith, values, as more "spiritual"? I don't mind watching movies like that occasionally. But a whole series would not interest me if it was overly didactic instead of effectively weaving themes of submission vs. liberation, self-interest vs. family, etc.

Sex in the City is overtly more materialistic than 6 Feet Under. Dumb as it may seem, I enjoyed watching the show...for its fashion. Got tired of Carrie's, played by Jessica Parker, constant manhunt escapades and her insecurities. Certainly the series was more "fluffy" / airheaded in content compared to 6 ft. Under.

But I'm the wrong person to opine much on series, ...I tend to watch Food Network, some British drama/police series.. Have lost track of U.S. sitcoms. I have zero interest watching anything like the Sopranos, Housewives (or whatever). Many U.S. cop/lawyer shows turn me right off because the easy violence, cool/hip/tough script is annoying ...'cause in real life to meet cops, judges and lawyers like that...was really annoying. I worked in various agencies for over 15 years, where my client groups were primarily ex-police officers, firefighers, judges and lawyers.
