There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

While I'm watching re-runs of nip/tuck, I can't help but think: *Does this show work because of the majority of very dis-likable characters?*1. Julia McNamara - such an annoying and unappealing woman; if intended that way, Ms. Richardson deserves every award possible. 2. Matt McNamara - the actor playing the role is repulsing - no wonder he wasn't heard of any more after the show's end; the character he's playing is normal in the beginning, but turns into the most obnoxious, most disgusting tween possible. i imagine the actor got the chance to play himself. his true self. he's not that good of an actor. Other than these two characters, the show's very watchable. Ryan Murphy's first real hit, way before AHS. Anyway, the show's quality goes belly-up after the season 3 finale. 6.0/10

What can I say? Ryan Murphy's a genius! Nip/Tuck's one of cable TV's landmark guilty pleasures. Murphy's said that NT was meant to be a love story between two straight guys. Of course it's also about people wanting to be perfect and being gravely disappointed. And yet there's still much more to the show.The first 2 seasons were the best, as many people agree. A bit more emphasis on psychological drama, but still a wicked sense of humor. The last 3 seasons became even more lurid, the 5th season turning into a parody of itself as the doctors moved their practice to Los Angeles.Either way, Nip/Tuck is a landmark cable soap opera that was funny, disturbing, kinky, and so many other things. Basically a bit of everything.As for the "moral majority" groups who talked many sponsors into pulling out of NT, this is America. It was "Soap" all over again. When that show came out in the late '70s, a lot of decency groups tried to talk people out of watching it. It annoyed my dad, who was one of the many soldiers who fought to defend the right our free speech. I felt similarly about those who boycotted NT and insulted those of us who watched it.

I believe the tag-line for Nip/Tuck describes it best: "A Disturbingly Perfect Drama." That is exactly what Nip/Tuck is. From the very first "Tell me what you don't like about yourself," to the final time we Sean and Christian together, this series made an impression and paved the way for all great dramas after it. The writing, especially in season 2 but throughout the whole series is very witty and intelligent. The cast highlighted by Dylan Walsh and Julian Mcmahon are perfect in their roles and give many Emmy-worthy performances throughout the series. I don't want to give too much away but this show has it all. Drama, romance, humor, suspense and even some action. The first 3 seasons are incredible, almost nothing better on TV. Season 4 was very good, season 5 the show started to slip a bit and got kind of cheesy but is still good. Season 6 I felt it got back on its feet and finished in a spectacular way. The ending was beautiful. If you're looking for an intelligent series this is the one for you. The premise is easy enough, two plastic surgeons who also happen to be best friends working in Miami and dealing with daily life and family drama, but it goes way beyond all that and is truly one of the greatest series of the last 20 years!

There are things to like and not like about Nip/Tuck. I didn't start watching the show till Season 4 till the very last episode, and only recently started the first three seasons. I'm noticing that the Miami years are/were the best seasons, but once the show moved to Los Angeles, the show came off more like a parody of its former self. It jumped the implants at Season 5.Drs. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are the ultimate bromance: can't live with each other, can't live without each other. Sean the family man trying to do the right thing for his family, but when your stuck with a perpetually needy wife like Julia, a nutjob second wife like Teddy, and a perpetual screw-up "son" like Matt, it's hard to be a good guy all the time. Christian is the sexy egotistical ladies man who loves and leaves women, treats the women that do stick around (Kimber) like crap while trying to tolerate others (Gina), but turns to mush when it comes to his "son" Wilbur.You want to like Julia, Matt, and Kimber, but it's just so hard to do so. Julia is basically the desperate housewife with no direction in her life who seemed to never love Sean but stayed with him because he was the breadwinner and a good father to the kids. She loves Christian, she stays with Sean, she goes back to Christian, she sleeps with a dwarf, she tries being a lesbian, and on and on. Jesus, no wonder Sean is stressed. Matt is just a screw-up who gets into one bad situation after another even worse situation. The only time Matt is likable is when he knocks some sense to his parents, but then he goes back to being a screw-up all over again. Kimber is just a lost soul looking for fame, fortune, and romance, but instead gets into porn, gets treated like crap by Christian, and marries Matt thinking he's Christian 2.0 but is nothing more than Matt 0.0, before ending her sad life.Liz seems to be the only normal character out of the bunch. It's fun to see her and Christian go at each other.Despite the L.A. seasons, it's still a brilliant show.
