Over-the-top yet well-written, Nip/Tuck was one of the most intriguing shows on television… until season three, when it took everything--everything--way too far. What once used to be a show about self-worth and society's perception of beauty as portrayed by plastic-surgery patients has become about the abject humiliation of women and rampant storylines. It alienated many fans, who found its love of excess ludicrous and at times, unforgivable. Maybe it was the storyline about Matt (John Hensley), who discovers the love of his life was actually a transsexual, shaves his head and starts dating a white supremacist (American Dreams' Brittany Snow). Or the disturbing new plastic-surgery cases (obese woman physically stuck to her couch, a 17-year-old petrified fetus). Or even the new surgeon Quentin Costa (Bruno Campos) who sleeps with male patients, romances Julia (Joely Richardson) and turns out to have a little 'physical quirk' of his own? But the knife that truly stabbed the show's pace into the ground was the ongoing mystery of the Carver, a rapist/killer in a creepy porcelain mask who disfigures victims. Just when the show starts to jell, another character with their mouth cut Black Dahlia-style turns up and throws the show back into a whodunnit, and not even a well-crafted one at that: By the time they reveal the killer's identity, you just don't care anymore.
Someone also made a mess of the characters, or at least turned them all manic-depressive; the moral flip-flopping between Sean (Dylan Walsh) and Christian (Julian McMahon) is inexplicable at best. One goes wild, the other grows a conscience--and then they switch sides. One is on the brink of divorce, the other gets engaged--and another switch. It's headache-inducing how each of the main characters become nonsensical and not the least bit engaging. Here's hoping Nip/Tuck regains its mojo in season four. --Ellen A. Kim

Rating:  - Where is the old Magic?
It is my opinion that Season 3 of Nip/Tuck lost its appeal. What use to be edgy and creative, now seems redundant and silly. The writing is now starting to feel forced, although I am trying really hard to hang in there. Sean is more confused than ever. Christian is still being Christian. Julia has become irritating and opened a "spa" with Christian's old flame. Matt, Sean and Julia's son, has become down right stupid. While you were once sympathetic, you now frown and suck your teeth. He has become pathetic. And the main storyline, for two seasons now, The Carver is finally revealed and I was so disappointed that I felt cheated. I mean for several episodes, we have had buildup, creative storylines and some clues as to who the dastardly villain is, only to have a twist thrown in there that on the surface would have been better they taken a different avenue. This season, the attempt to push the envelope simply didn't work for me. Hopefully the writers will find their old magic and start writing well, instead of just ok. I for one am a fan who doesn't just want all edge and shock, but some of the old charm of past seasons.
Rating:  - Jaw Dropping.
I got this season for my birthday last month. I literally watched it in 3 days. The story lines were amazing, the twists were ridiculous and the finale left me sweating. I sat on my couch with my mouth open and almost crapping my pants. This season was by far the best season of the three I've seen, and I can't stop recommending it to everyone I talk to. It's very, very, very worth watching and I would give it 6 stars if I could!
Rating: - Awsome!!!!!!

Rating: - A few flaws but nothing that can't be fixed with surgery
By "a few flaws," I refer to a dropped potential plotline (Troy and the masochistic patient who tells him he's a sadist), Matt's bizarre descent into hateful, violent behavior and then a sudden change when confronted with a neo-Nazi teenage girl, and the near-absence of Annie MacNamara.
Otherwise, however, the show is still fascinating, with Sean undergoing a midlife crisis, Troy being left at the altar on the brink of marriage to Kimber, a patient who wants to get rid of a perfectly good leg, Julia starting a surgical recovery spa (oddly with Gina in tow), Liz still enduring the two high maintenance surgeons, and the terrifying outcome of The Carver's story. (I knew all along who it was but did not realize that the perpetrator had a partner.)
I am curious to see what's up with the newest MacNamara baby in season four.
Rating: - Nip/Tuck 3rd Season
Excellent boxed set. This season really develops the characters and has non-stop action. Was really great to see the espisodes again, I really missed a lot the first time around. Recommend highly.
