The whole cast is back, and as strong as ever, and the writers have cooked up some really compelling plot twists, turns, and divergences, but there's three or four episodes in the middle of Nip/Tuck's third season that skirt dangerously close to shark-jumping territory.īack for a third series of surgical misadventures are Doctors Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon), two old friends who share no shortage of closeted skeletons and hidden secrets. I'm going to keep this review shorter than that one, mainly because I don't feel the need to regurgitate all the praise I lavished upon the series last year, but also because, well, the show's starting to flounder just a little bit.ĭon't get me wrong Nip/Tuck is still one of the craftiest, strangest, and most darkly alluring shows on television, but now in its third season - the producers seem to be spinning their wheels just a little. Welcome to L.A.Just about one year ago to the day, I spent a very entertaining weekend with the second season of Nip/Tuck, a document of which can be seen right here. And it's the place for skilled surgical procedures - some silly, some quite serious - and where guest stars Tia Carrere, Portia de Rossi, Lauren Hutton and Rosie O'Donnell add grit and glitter to the goings-on. It's the place for wavering Kimber to become porn again, for Matt to go off the deep end, for Julia and Christian to rekindle a flame, for all the personal and professional entanglements that are McNamara/Troy. It's also the place for Lights! Camera! Scalpels! as Sean and Christian go from consulting on a TV drama about plastic surgery to being on-camera players (and rivals for stardom). The place that's made a bundle selling glamour, illusion and dreams - the perfect place for the newly relocated plastic-surgery practice of McNamara/Troy.
