Nip/Tuck: Cindy Plumb (2006)
Season 4, Episode 1
8/10
A confident start to the fourth season
13 January 2007
If the first episode of the fourth season is anything to go by, "Nip / Tuck" has lost none of its edge and continues to be one of the most outrageously imaginative and dramatic programmes on television today.

Starting with a ménage à trois with a perverse twist, this episode of "Nip / Tuck" sets out not only to shock but to deliver superbly dark humour in thick slices. It's one of the reasons why this series is just so watchable. It takes risks and occasionally wanders right to the edge of acceptability for a television show.

With some very familiar faces appearing in this episode (including Larry Hagman, Kathleen Turner, Brooke Shields, Tracy Scoggins and Amanda Pays), the show clearly attracts top-drawer talent.

Dylan Walsh and the impossibly smooth Julian McMahon are as watchable as ever. Their ability to convey both comedy and gut-wrenching drama is simply brilliant and shouldn't be underestimated.

Television doesn't get much better than this...
