Best Show Ever!, 8 November 2004
Author: Danielle from Sudbury, MA

I must admit that at first, like other viewers I was wary of watching this show. I'm kinda squeamish so it didn't really appeal to me but I watched five or six episodes of season two with the girls across the hall from me at my college because they love it and I went out that weekend and bought season one on DVD. Since then I've seen all of the first season and I can't wait for season two on DVD.

I like it that they add drama and things that really happen together and I love the conflicts they have. Even though I'm not interested in plastic surgery I love seeing how people go about it and what everyone wants to change about themselves.

Christian is hysterical, his obsession with material objects is so real to me with the society we live in now, Sean and his wife have the most amusing arguments I've ever heard, and the way he treated Matt in the first season when he wanted the circumcision was very funny.

I love this show and I can't wait for season three and four and many more to come. Oh and one more thing... "tell me what you don't like about yourself..."

I Completely Disagree, 8 October 2004
Author: Edward Scissorhands (thepumpkinklng@aol.com) from Texas but from California

Nothing new and fresh about this show? Ptuh! What're you watching, re-runs of M*A*S*H*? I'll admit, when I first saw the ads on TV for this show I thought, "crap" and dismissed it from my mind. Then I have a couple friends tell me about it and I get interested. I recently watched a full episode, the one directly before the season finale as well as the finale. All I can say is, "Wow. Bravo." These actors have incredible range and just from the two episodes I saw enough to make me a fan. A buddy of mine hadn't seen a single episode until the finale, and the very next day he bought Season 1 on DVD. I'm lining up to get it as soon as I get paid, I'm a current "Alias" and "Nip/Tuck" addict now. Amazing show! It almost reminds me of Miami Vice meets Fight Club meets E.R., in some sick twisted way. I love it.

T.V. Excellence, 6 October 2004
Author: CKBiggs from Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I began watching Nip/Tuck last fall when F/X ran the entire first season every night for a whole week. I had been a fan of Julian McMahon from "Charmed" and wanted to see what his new series entailed. How very pleasantly surprised and to some degree shocked I was to finally find provocative and riveting television with characters that posses emotional and intellectual depth. Each episode is intelligently filled with a roller coaster of drama, suspense, romance, adventure, comedy, and great 80's music leaving the viewer hanging on to every last minute and desperately anticipating the next episode. Two plastic surgeons in Miami, reflecting on their pasts, struggling with the present, and questioning their futures- I haven't experienced quality T.V. like this since George Clooney's character graced the exam rooms of "ER". Some content and language can be very explicit and risqué, so only mature individuals need to tune in. 5 out of 5 stars.

Mixed Bag, 5 October 2004
Author: princetyronnlue from madison, wisc

This show would be great if there wasn't so much awful soap opera

melodrama. While I find the plastic surgery related story lines to be extremely compelling and an interesting look/critique at the world of cosmetic surgery, the side plots including the families are just boring and a lot more time consuming than they should be. I find myself flipping to other things for about 2/3 of the show because I find the subplots to be totally unwatchable. I wish they made more of a focus on the in-clinic stuff and came away from the stuff involving the fringe characters, in my opinion, it really drags the show down. I appreciate that they want to make the show multi-faceted, but it would be nice if it was lightened up a bit and not so melodramatic. This is prime-time, not General Hospital.

Best show ever!!, 5 October 2004
Author: opheliafloating from Brooklyn, New York

When I first heard of this show, I thought it would be real superficial and bad. But it is the BEST show I have ever seen. Julian McMahon is perfect for his character. All the characters are so real and it really shows how society is obsessed with perfection..if anybody doesn't agree, they're lying to themselves. I don't remember the quote exactly but it's from the first season. 'People will always hate something about themselves and that's why we'll always be in business'. I've always liked Julian McMahon when he was on Charmed and it seems like this character was written especially for him. For any woman who hasn't seen what he looks like, take a peek and even if it's just to stare at him for an hour..Nip/Tuck is definitely worth watching.

The Carver, 5 October 2004
Author: mysticstrawberryTK421

Matt being "The Carver" as some of you have suggested??? What kind of crack have you been smoking???

"The Carver" is Myrl. Plain and simple. All the clues point to him: His resentment for beautiful people, his violent past, his lack of any moral compass, plus his added hatred for Christian and Sean...

"Beauty is a curse on this world," as "The Carver" says to all of his victims... Myrl has said such in previous episodes...

And "The Carver" can't be Adrian, as seen in the season finale. Adrian commits suicide. "The Carver" is still at large and attacks Christian...

Use your head people, and lay off the crack... Pay attention to the damn show, and use some intelligence...

Nip/Tuck is and always will be the greatest show, 5 October 2004
Author: cashmanmcs from Maryland, United States

Are you retarded? Nip/Tuck is the greatest plastic surgery show ever created. there is a plot, and if you cant follow it then clearly your intellectual abilities are limited. You wanna talk about sleeziness and bullsh*t? Go watch some more Charmed. Way to be mature, a show about a bunch of neurotic witches is a much better choice for prime time television than two attractive Miami plastic surgeons. And if you can't handle the sick jokes, turn your freakin TV off or change the channel, perhaps the Disney channel would better suit your desires. Look into Lizzie McGuire, i hear that show is pretty good for those of us who are still in a prepubescent mindset. Of course this show is centered around perfection, what do you think plastic surgery is? A field dedicated to creating flaws? That is just about the most dim-witted comment i have ever read. You ask, "How stupid can you get", clearly not as stupid as you are. This show has NOT been done before, yes there has been ER and scrubs and what not and multiple "reality plastic surgery" shows but nothing of this sort has been done. and no real acting? how bout you get on the set and do a little acting for us? i'd like to see you do better. And as far as your boot goes, you can take it and shove it straight up your A$$. My advice for you is, next time you feel the need to share your unsupported and illogical opinions, think twice, shut your face, and go complain to your dog. Start watching PBS, its a lot easier for someone of your mental capacity to understand.

BEST SHOW ON TV!!!, 20 September 2004
Author: mlw830 from Dickson, TN

I started watching this in the middle of the second season. And I was instantly hooked. I had to run out and buy the first season on DVD. I watched the entire season in one day. I hate soap operas they are so fake, who comes back from

the dead that many times like on "Days", but now Nip/Tuck, this world is so

freaky now you can see how these situations might come up. I know several

people whose lives could have been the basis for Sean, Christian & Julia. I also love the plastic surgery angle. It is such a hot topic now, everyone including myself is having it done. It lets you see the vulernablability of the characters. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! And besides, it is not supposed to be a reality show,

therefore those who think it is too dysfunctional (previous reviewer) it is

supposed to be entertainment and let us look at ourselves at being all the better not to have the problems the characters are having to cope with. It definitely keeps your attention from beginning to end. GREAT JOB!!!!

Touching, Funny, and it gets better with every episode, 17 September 2004
Author: Randy Lee (mr_congenialityng@hotmail.com) from Utah

Nip/Tuck uses an unusual formula to deliver an excellence. Every episode will make you laugh, and probably even cry.

The writers had Season 1 good, but I've never seen a television show before that was able to have a absolutely FLAWLESS second season. The second season starts out with Sean and Christian pushing 40. They will experience one hell of a ride, for sure.

The second season has higher praised actors featured in smaller roles, such as Joan Rivers and Alec Baldwin. And Nip/Tuck isn't a show that features cameos, but if it does, it will give a good reason why that certain famous actor is getting a shine of stardom. (Alec Baldwin will play a character that is directly related with one of the other actors, but who you will have to find out for yourself!) Joan Rivers, however, has no reason to be there yet, we'll find out soon.

Besides the special actors appearing in season 2, Christian and Sean will learn the real meaning of partnership. Season 2 is overall more intense, addicting, touching, and funny than the 1st season could ever be. If season 3 happens to be any better, Nip/Tuck will prove once and for all, that it is TV Gold. But, that's already been proven to us, already.

Don't know whether to cry or vomit, 27 July 2004
Author: Wokel from Logan, UT

Forget "The Sopranos", "Sex and the City" or "Oz". This has to be the sickest and most cynical show on the air. It plays like a drug opera, maybe "Requiem for a Dream" or "Less Than Zero" only with sex and plastic surgery addictions in place of the chemical dependencies. It has a slick and icy James Cameron/Adriane Lyne/Ridley Scott/Michael Mann 80s look to it; but this isn't just a hipster "South Park" shock'em and sock'em series. The characters aren't amoral, they have a sense of morality and that is what makes it so hard to watch. These are human beings at their ugliest and most desperate; they perpetuate and feed off of some sort of emotional hell.

Highly recommended, but man, watch yourself.
