In India, the show is all set to debut on Zee English next month.
The site has come up with experimental features that allow fans
to go behind the scenes, exploring the intimate lives of the principal
characters. One can see the new episodes through the eyes of creators
and crew members in Post Mortem interviews. Taking a metaphysical
pit-stop with the Fishers, examining the nooks and crannies of the
Six Feet Under subconscious at The Wake are some features
offered. In addition, one can access the real story on the victims
of every opening sequence by reading detailed obituaries.
After each new Sunday night episode, HBO.com will feature a Post
Mortem interview with post-show analysis by directors, writers,
producers, special effects people, the show's mortuary advisor and
much more. Fans will learn how the show's costume designer, Jill
Ohanneson, gets clothes purchased from Walmart or Sears to have
"that patina of feeling like it's part of someone's closet." Or
discover how Alan Ball's examination of physics led him to the overall
theme for season three.
After the 2 March premiere episode a site section The Wake
will feature a unique montage of video moments, images and dialogue
that give viewers a voyeuristic peek inside the characters thoughts
and motivations. The most devoted viewers will even find a few "Easter
Eggs" hidden in Wake episodes every week featuring personal tidbits
such as text messages or journal entries from their favourite characters.
It remains to be seen though whether the dramatic irony and dark,
situational humour of the show jells with the Indian viewer.
