Nip Tuck Seasons DVD 1-7

Nip/tuck is a strange show, italian Tv has been broadcasting the first few episodes in the last weeks and I found myself strangely (and unexpectedly) hooked. A previous review states that this is a realistic show... well, I wonder if the reviewer watched it or merely pretended to! This show presents an hyperbolic display of our society, focusing (morbidly) on its vices. It's all about sex, mental disorders (beauty-obsessed ones), cynism, money, lust, etc. It WANTS ro shock you and outrage you and pays little attention to the likelihood of the picture. Maybe one or two of the things mentioned in the show could happen to you in real life but a setting where they seem to happen to everybody, over and over again, is extremely unrealistic. Maybe this exaggeration was intended to make the underlying denounce more effective or maybe it was just shock-marketing, "pater les bourgeoises".
But then, maybe it's the morbidness that makes this series compelling. The plot is very engaging, just make sure you don't show this to your children!
