Nip/Tuck - popular TV drama series from the U.S. - Germany

Nip/Tuck is a very successful TV Drama series from the US.



It's set in a south Florida plastic surgery center and centers around the two doctors who own it. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) has family problems and is always trying to patch up relations with his wife Julia (Joely Richardson). Sex-craved Christian Troy (Julian McMahon), on the other hand, uses his "charm" to bring in potential female candidates and conducts shady business deals, often for the love of money. Sean takes his job more seriously and often has to fix Christian's mistakes.

The show was first aired in the US in July 2003.

In January 2005 it was awarded a Golden Globe Award for best TV Drama series.

The second series is currently showing on Tuesdays at 9.15pm on Pro Sieben. The series will also start on Premiere from Tuesday 1st March (7.15/8.15pm, Premiere 1/Premiere 2).

Seeing as most of the clientele at Munich's P1 nightclub are cosmetic surgery patients, Premiere are inviting everyone to a special Nip/Tuck party there this Friday (25.Feb.2005). I don't suppose any readers here are interested, but if you are then you should contact dirk.heerdegen (at) premiere (dot) de (089 99586350) for details.

OMG i saw an episode in bobolovsky's of all places. it was so graphic yet i couldn't stop watching it. fascinating. almost threw me off my eats.

in the last episode the docs re-created a clitoris out of a toe!

(the show runs on Sky in English, so i don't have to be subjected to hearing known actors with funny voices)

also runs in english on premiere.

i really love this show!!! YEAHHH

I wish my back was a little more flexible...

This show is GREAT! Especially the episode with the hot lesbian scene

So... has anybody seen the third or fourth seasons of this show? What'd you think? I have Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD, but haven't yet tracked down Season 3 - I know the Region 1 release was in August 2006.

I admit to having read through the Wikipedia episode guide for Nip/ Tuck, so I know what basically happens. I read online that a lot of long-time fans of the show (like me, who started watching the show from the US pilot episode but had to discontinue when I moved abroad) thought the third season sucked.

Julian McMahon is just as hot as ever, though. I'd watch him read the phonebook. Although the fact he's had sex with Shannen Doherty makes my stomach turn.

Season 3 went wrong, season 4 is more like season 1 & 2, at least what I've seen of it is and season 5 looks to be even better. Christian just goes the way you always thought he would - big style.
Shannen? He actually married Dannii Minogue. Isn't that worse?

Well he also has a kid with Brooke Burns, an American actress who - while very pretty - is best-known for diving into the shallow end of a pool and breaking her neck. So possibly not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I haven't heard much about Season 4, although I thought about skipping Season 3 altogether since I already know what happens and many of the plotlines just sounded ludicrous.

I am watching season 4 right now..it is much better than season 3. Overall the series has gotten much better since the first season. The characters are so insane that it sometimes hurts to watch.
We actually spent 10 hours in front of the TV this Sunday watching nothing but Nip Tuck...I had to catch up..

That Michelle character just irks me. The series is also walking a fine line with Scientology..it will be interesting to see what final direction they take that in.

@saint
Do you have any idea, off the top of your head, what seasons I can get on DVD in Munich? Thanks.

Is this the kind of show that you have to watch in order from beginning to end?

I've never watched it as I kind of took issue with the premise but I've seen some of the commercials for it on sky lately and it seems that the psychology aspect could be quite interesting.

I've been told I'm not allowed to watch the new episodes until I've seen everything in order but is it really necessary?

Jules, you can get Seasons 1 and 2. I bought both at the Müller on Tal. Season 3 has not been released here yet AFAIK, but I am sure you can download it - this is probably how Saint got ahold of it.

ER, you can sit down and start watching it at any point, but I think you'll definitely have a better appreciation if you start from season 1. There's lots of backstory.

GG, I'll always think of you everytime I see slightly stressed buttons on a man's chest now! Definately need to watch this show sometime.
