Nip/Tuck is a vibrantly entertaining and decidedly grown-up series. It's smart and witty and profane and brutal and honest and insightful.. It's a series about surface beauty, inner decay, the amazing healing powers we have..
The first superlative season of Nip/Tuck (which can be found on the fantastic upstart network known as F/X) laid the foundation for series creator Ryan Murphy's uniquely off-kilter look at beauty, loyalty, self-esteem, and friendship. I'd go as far to call it one of the best seasons of television I've seen in quite a long time.
Fresh off a "buzzworthy" first season and chomping at the bit to toss his characters into a whole new bunch of blenders, Murphy and his team have upped the ante quite a bit for season number two -- and if the results aren't quite as impressive as the first go-round, well, let's just say if S1 was an A+ effort, then season two is a solid B+. A bit more acidic and reality-stretching than the first season was, collection two takes these characters into some rather outlandish settings. Young Matt strikes up a fairly creepy love affair with a "life coach" played by the painfully sexy Famke Janssen; tensions arise between Sean and Christian and several ancient secrets are revealed; and the non-stop carousel of bizarre patients continues unabated. ..flawless chemistry between Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon, the excellent work by the sadly underrated Joely Richardson, the unpredictable recurring characters like surgery-addict Mrs. Grubman, unbalanced porn star Kimber Henry, goofball competitor Dr. Bobolit, recovering sex addict Gina Russo, or Liz, the exasperated lesbian anesthesiologist ..phenomenal supporting work by actresses like Jessalyn Gilsig, Roma Maffia, Kelly Carlson
right Kelly Carlson - I can usu not think of her name bcs conflate w Kim Catrell (Samantha on sexinthecity) and Kimberly Caldwell (Amer Idol contestant turned tv guider, who I saw on 'tv talk'together w actor who plays matt on nip tuck so she is all th more conflatable see - the other tv talk I've seen was Kelly Carlson (Kimber) together w James Denton the plumber on desphousewives

Nip/Tuck has been praised by just about anyone who's been willing to watch more than two or three episodes..
Julian McMahon Talks About Nip/Tuck's Outrageous Season 4:When we first started the show, there was this whole thing about the plastic surgery board being up in arms against us because we weren’t depicting surgery properly. But, every surgeon I’ve ever met has done nothing but say positive things. They love the show and they love the way we depict the surgery. Now, it is a TV show and we try to get away with as many things as we can. It’s not going to be a real surgery. That’s all there is to it. We’re trying to make it enjoyable. We’re trying to be shocking.
Surgery’s not in my life, except for this show. So, to think about opening somebody up and putting their loved one’s ashes in their breasts, just sounds out of control to me. It wanes a little after four years, but I’m still shocked. I love reading the scripts for this show because I love what I get to play. I love the fact that the viewers are surprised every time they see it, and I want them to be continually surprised. That’s one of the great things about Nip/Tuck, that really separates it from other productions.
One of the reasons Christian has gone so far out there is because that’s what I wanted to do. I just wanted things to be sexier, wilder, more out of control, and I wanted to push that envelope as much as possible. I still want to do that.
I love the fact that he’s extraordinarily honest. I like that he’s honest about his manipulation.
