Six Degrees is an American drama television series that aired on ABC from September 2006 to March 2007. The show followed the interconnected lives of six New Yorkers, whose lives are unexpectedly connected through various relationships, coincidences, and chance encounters.

The show's cast included an ensemble of talented actors, each bringing their own unique perspective to the multi-layered and complex narrative. Hope Davis played Laura, a successful lawyer working at an upscale law firm. Campbell Scott played Steven, a photographer documenting life in New York City. Dorian Missick played Damian, a taxi driver who is secretly in love with Laura. Erika Christensen played Mae, a therapist with a strained relationship with her wealthy father. Bridget Moynahan played Whitney, a public relations executive who is engaged to a wealthy businessman. Jay Hernandez played Carlos, a struggling musician trying to make it big in the city. Ruby Jerins played Eliza, a precocious young girl who acts as a catalyst for many of the characters' storylines. Shiri Appleby played Anya, a struggling actress who takes on various odd jobs to make ends meet. Deborah S. Craig played Marcy, a nursing student who is also Whitney's assistant.

The show was created by J.J. Abrams, executive produced by Carlton Cuse, and written by a team of talented writers including Scott Rosenberg, Stu Zicherman, and Raven Metzner. The series was set and filmed in New York City, with stunning cinematography that showcased the beauty and diversity of the city.

Six Degrees was hailed by many critics as a fresh and innovative take on the interconnectedness of modern life. The characters were all compelling and well-rounded, with storylines that were both captivating and believable. The show tackled many important and relevant issues, including mental health, addiction, racism, and classism. Each episode was structured around a central theme, such as trust, forgiveness, or redemption, that tied together all of the characters' storylines.

One of the most unique aspects of the show was its use of flashbacks and flash-forwards to explore the characters' pasts and futures. These segments added depth and complexity to the storytelling, giving viewers a more complete picture of the characters' motivations and emotions.

Despite its critical acclaim, Six Degrees struggled to find a broad audience and was canceled after only one season. The show's cancellation left many viewers disappointed, as the show had built a dedicated fanbase who had become invested in the characters and their stories.

Overall, Six Degrees was a compelling and thought-provoking drama that explored the complexities of modern life and the interconnectedness of humanity. The show's talented cast, innovative storytelling, and stunning cinematography made it a standout among the many television dramas of its time.
