Won Golden Globe. Another 4 wins & 25 nominations

What a great TV show. Nip/Tuck satisfies the shallow and the thoughtful alike. Episodes of lude atcs are interspersed with marginally more episodes of very real life issues. Well, very real somewhere.

Currently in its 3rd season, Nip/Tuck is very edgy, very gritty, and very moving. It pushes way past its little brother "Rescue Me" by virtue of it's working theme-Plastic Surgery-and the sexual twists of Christian with the family meltdowns of Sean and the Macnamaras.

It's saving grace is the very real, seemingly unbreakable bond of friendship between Sean and Christian. It is within the walls of that friendship that their personal moral, social, and emotional weaknesses are revealed and breakthroughs achieved.
