Nip/Tuck Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
sanjin_9632 While I'm watching re-runs of nip/tuck, I can't help but think: *Does this show work because of the majority of very dis-likable characters?*1. Julia McNamara - such an annoying and unappealing woman; if intended that way, Ms. Richardson deserves every award possible. 2. Matt McNamara - the actor playing the role is repulsing - no wonder he wasn't heard of any more after the show's end; the character he's playing is normal in the beginning, but turns into the most obnoxious, most disgusting tween possible. i imagine the actor got the chance to play himself. his true self. he's not that good of an actor. Other than these two characters, the show's very watchable. Ryan Murphy's first real hit, way before AHS. Anyway, the show's quality goes belly-up after the season 3 finale. 6.0/10
dreamgavino I enjoyed Season 1 to 4. The character development, plot twists, and story direction were pretty much on point. I am currently watching Season 5, and it has become such a circus I don't know where to begin. Pretty much all of the characters lack any redeeming traits whatsoever. Whatever glimmer of decency they have left are ultimately shadowed by their foibles. The characters are all driven by sex at this point. One can argue that they have always been driven by sex, but the difference is that Season 5's portrayal of sex is almost offensive. I also don't buy that Matt has become a drug addict due to his "love" for Kimber. I don't buy Julia turning to Christian for comfort. I don't buy Sean's foray into acting. It's sad when shows with great beginnings are eventually eclipsed by their horrible endings. It seems that the writers were determined to destroy any character development that has been in play in the earlier seasons.With that being said, I will still definitely recommend this.
captgage-1 What can I say? Ryan Murphy's a genius! Nip/Tuck's one of cable TV's landmark guilty pleasures. Murphy's said that NT was meant to be a love story between two straight guys. Of course it's also about people wanting to be perfect and being gravely disappointed. And yet there's still much more to the show.The first 2 seasons were the best, as many people agree. A bit more emphasis on psychological drama, but still a wicked sense of humor. The last 3 seasons became even more lurid, the 5th season turning into a parody of itself as the doctors moved their practice to Los Angeles.Either way, Nip/Tuck is a landmark cable soap opera that was funny, disturbing, kinky, and so many other things. Basically a bit of everything.As for the "moral majority" groups who talked many sponsors into pulling out of NT, this is America. It was "Soap" all over again. When that show came out in the late '70s, a lot of decency groups tried to talk people out of watching it. It annoyed my dad, who was one of the many soldiers who fought to defend the right our free speech. I felt similarly about those who boycotted NT and insulted those of us who watched it.
dmanyc There are things to like and not like about Nip/Tuck. I didn't start watching the show till Season 4 till the very last episode, and only recently started the first three seasons. I'm noticing that the Miami years are/were the best seasons, but once the show moved to Los Angeles, the show came off more like a parody of its former self. It jumped the implants at Season 5.Drs. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are the ultimate bromance: can't live with each other, can't live without each other. Sean the family man trying to do the right thing for his family, but when your stuck with a perpetually needy wife like Julia, a nutjob second wife like Teddy, and a perpetual screw-up "son" like Matt, it's hard to be a good guy all the time. Christian is the sexy egotistical ladies man who loves and leaves women, treats the women that do stick around (Kimber) like crap while trying to tolerate others (Gina), but turns to mush when it comes to his "son" Wilbur.You want to like Julia, Matt, and Kimber, but it's just so hard to do so. Julia is basically the desperate housewife with no direction in her life who seemed to never love Sean but stayed with him because he was the breadwinner and a good father to the kids. She loves Christian, she stays with Sean, she goes back to Christian, she sleeps with a dwarf, she tries being a lesbian, and on and on. Jesus, no wonder Sean is stressed. Matt is just a screw-up who gets into one bad situation after another even worse situation. The only time Matt is likable is when he knocks some sense to his parents, but then he goes back to being a screw-up all over again. Kimber is just a lost soul looking for fame, fortune, and romance, but instead gets into porn, gets treated like crap by Christian, and marries Matt thinking he's Christian 2.0 but is nothing more than Matt 0.0, before ending her sad life.Liz seems to be the only normal character out of the bunch. It's fun to see her and Christian go at each other.Despite the L.A. seasons, it's still a brilliant show.
