    It is the best show on television this year. It's not skanky, it's not irritating, and most of all everyone can watch it! I am obsessed. haha, it's a great show and a wonderful outlet from the real world.

    It's an amazing series. I don't easily get hooked, and this one caught my attention from the beginning. You can't help falling in love with the characters. They are endearingly charming.

    I really like this show! The cast is perfect and the idea is so "possible" I think most critics are overthinking the story lines. Sit back and enjoy the drama that unravels. It makes you think about how you pass strangers on a daily basis that one day may become friends or partners. Shows us how the world is weaved and how we are all connected. Give it a chance, keep watching!

    You have to be a fan of plots that start off independently and somehow link up together.

    Awesome show! I hope it stays. The last two episodes after the break have been super. Good choice to bring on Jason Lewis. He is very sexy and a pretty decent actor. I would like to see more of him! Great cast all around. Love how quick moving the show is. Please keep it on!

    Why, oh why, are they cancelling this show????It's much more interesting than Grey's Anatomy. I hope they will at least put everything that's been filmed on the website so we can get some kind of closure.

    Really enjoying this show - especially the "older man, younger woman" story line between Campbell Scott (the photographer) and Shiri Appleby (the assistant). The writers are so true to life in this show. Really hope it lasts.

    I found it very entertaining, I think their is at least one character that everyone can identify with. It's very interesting to see how the unknown intersections with other people can affect your life.

    This one may have possibilities. Depends on how they weave the characters together and develop the stories and characters. I'll watch this one a few more times to see how it goes.

    The show didn't look very interesting, but I thought, J.J. Abrams did this one, so maybe it will be more interesting than it looks.

    This show has variety in characters and stories that grips the audience and holds their attention. It is a unique show with drama and complex situations. One of the best shows to come along in years.

    I'll be honest with you, I don't watch much TV. When I do, it's usually a movie, or a Discovery/History channel type show. But when I found by chance that ABC was putting many of their shows on the Internet, I decided to check it out. Six Degrees hooked me with the premiere, and I've watched every show that's online.

It's intelligent and powerful, the actors are outstanding, and the writers brilliant. Who knows what the real reason is for the shows failure? Maybe there's a serious decline in the intelligence level of adults in America today; maybe we're too blood thirsty, or maybe ABC simply had too many trite shows in the lineup? Oh well, next!… Expand

    Six Degrees fancies itself as clever but is really little more than a one-trick pony. Even worse, that trick pony is pretty damn lame. [22 Sep 2006, p.89]

    [The] pilot is cleverly written giving the characters a heady, just-specific-enough mix of mystery, intrigue and charm.

    It's a drama of chance with enough charm to roll the dice on.
