When I first saw the commercials for Nip/Tuck, I wasn't interested at all. Sure it looked cool because of the women and it looked like it had an edge, but it didn't thrill me all that much. Then I ended up catching the season finale from season one on TV with some friends. They were huge fans of the show. After that I saw the season premiere for season two, I have been hooked ever since. I would religiously watch season two each and every Tuesday night and I have recently purchased season one on DVD. I am quite happy I did.
Nip/Tuck is a very interesting show. Sure it has a lot of sex, good looking women, mature audiences kind of stuff....but, it also has an underlying message. Plastic surgery is not for everyone. At times, it can do more harm than good. And is even the concept of plastic surgery hurting our perceptions of what women are supposed to look like, and so on. Some people need it for real reasons like they got in a accident or something that was out of their control. Others just abuse it because they are rich and don't want to look older. You get a little bit of both in Nip/Tuck.
The story centers around two main characters, Shawn McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon). They are plastic surgeons in Miami, FL. Shawn is the married family guy. While Christian has a different woman every night and sleeps around like crazy, Shawn is married to his wife Julia (Joley Richardson). They have one teenage son (John Hensley) and one daughter. It's actually hard to write a review about this show, because I don't want to give away any plot lines or anything. It's one of those shows that once you start watching it, you have to see what happens next week. I can't say that about a lot of TV shows these days, since reality TV is running rampant.
My best advice would be to check out the show on FX (the channel), see if you like it and then pick up season one on DVD. If you are anything like me and enjoy one-hour dramas, you will be done with the DVD set in maybe one day. It's that good.
Special Features: There are 3 documentaries and I liked all of them. There is a gag reel, which is actually quite funny. There is one deleted scene, a music video for the song "A Perfect Lie", and a teaser trailer. These are not bad supplements considering most DVD sets of TV shows don't give you squat.
