The Pain & Pleasure of Toxic TV Couples - Nate Fisher & Brenda Chenowith

The Liar and his Whore
Where to start with these two...

The relationship between the leading couple on Six Feet Under (sorry David and Keith) couldn't be more of a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. This statement could be more evident as we see the two hooking up in the first episode in an airport supply closest after having met a few short hours on a plane bound for L.A.

In fact, according to this site that discusses the color symbolism of the show, there are a frequent number of times where the two are shown wearing polar colored clothing, Nate's style is usually brown (which symbolizes the ground/earth), while Brenda's trademark color is blue (symbolic of water or the airy sky) these two couldn't be more disparate.

The relationship hits several snags throughout the five seasons.

Nate, an idealist with high expectations with the women he typically goes after

Brenda, an atheist with usually low expectations in her love pursuits.
