Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Beauty, the saying goes, is only skin deep. The beauty of Nip/Tuck is that it goes deeper, laying bear the complexities and fragile natures often found in patients seeking cosmetic surgery. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon portray hotshot Miami South Beach plastic surgeons who are themselves in full-blown midlife crises as they confront career, family and romance problems. The series' cutting-edge stories range from funny to suspenseful to uncommonly powerful. The surgeries are graphically bold. The sexuality is rampant. Presented here in 13 first-season episodes on 5 discs and featuring compelling extras, the highly praised Nip/Tuck is a prescription for entertainment unlike anything you've ever seen.

Be Careful! You Will Get Hooked!
This series was intensely great! You will fall in love with the characters, as well as the plot lines (even if they are sometimes off the wall). Getting to know the characters is the most fun part of the first series, but you will love every second! I would only buy this season if you are ready to buy ALL of the seasons, because you WILL get hooked!
Enjoy!

IF YOU ARE A FAN YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. IF NOT THE STORY LINES ARE LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE SEEN BEFORE. NOT FOR CHILDREN. SOFT PORN.
SOME SCENES I CANT' WATCH. But I love the stories.

FX has hit the mother load!
Have you ever watched a show so powerful that you can't wait until the next episode? Among a string of wonderful new shows on the FX Network, Nip/Tuck was a jewel! It is edgy, brilliant and definitely well written. And I love the fact that there is always some plot twist that was completely unexpected.
For an hour (probably more like 35 to 40 minutes) you enter a world the superficial world of brilliant Plastic Surgeons Sean McNamara and Christian Troy. Beginning each consultation with "tell me what you don't like about yourself", they set out to fix or improve those things that their clients hate about themselves. Everything it appears can be fixed with the services of a fine surgeon and a scalpel.
Sean (played by Dylan Walsh) is the more talented Surgeon whose life appears on the surface to be perfect (2 kids and a loving wife, Julia). Conservative and straight laced, Sean is the perfect alter-ego to sex crazed Christian. Christian (played by Julian McMahon of Charmed) is the more sophisticated of the two, but finds himself "bedding" one woman (and sometimes two) in every episode. Having one meaningless sexual relationship after another, appears to interest him more often than a complicated surgery. Liz, their anesthesiologist and friend, is constantly trying to show Christian the error of his ways, while assisting them both by performing some very complicated and creative surgeries. Soon you will find that the creative and wonderful storylines have pulled you into the dazzling world of McNamara-Troy, and you have simply fallen in love with this wonderful show, and looking forward to every episode. I can only hope that Season 2 lives up to Season 1. I am extremely pleased that FX took a chance on this series, because the world is definitely ready for it.

Shocking, unpredictable, engaging fare
Definitely not for everyone. Those with sensitive stomachs will not appreciate the close-ups of the plastic surgery, while certain sensibilities will be offended by the sexual activities of the various characters.
Other than that, there is a lot to bite into here. Two best friends are plastic surgeons and face a constant barrage of ethical dilemmas, challenging patients, a dangerous drug runner who forces them to remove heroin from female "mules," and more.
Then there are the family conflicts. Dr. MacNamara's wife was close to his partner, Dr. Troy, who is now the godfather (and possibly father!) to their kids. Troy himself has a troubled past that causes him a lot of distress when he confronts a priest who has been molesting boys.
And MacNamara and spouse very nearly destroy their marriage with infidelity, lies, and secrets; while their teenage son experiments sexually and also tries to cover up a hit-and-run that he was involved in.
Slick Miami settings and messed-up people who are attractive on the outside but damaged goods inside make this unpredictable, shocking, and memorable.
