Plastic Surgery - the new "it" thing!


Does anyone else watch Nip/tuck? I have been watching it for the majority of the season and it tends to really pull me in every time that I might want to stop watching it. For those of you who know nothing about the series, it is about a two men who have a practice in plastic surgery. One of the men, Sean MacNamera, has an ex-wife who has, to put it lightly, "gotten around" with the men in the office of her ex-husband's practice. Christian Troy, the other partner in the practice, is a ladies' man who finally decided to settle down with one woman, when she did not come to the alter. The reason she did not come was because the carver got her. The Carver has been in the entire series. He will randomly kidnap a person, rape her, and cut slits on the side of their face. There are many other twists and turns that occur throughout the series, and yet it is still somewhat easy to get into. Although some of the events are inappropriate, the writers do a magnificent job at drawing in the audience and adding in random twists. Also, the show can have the tendency to make people feel bad about themselves because it is all about making oneself pretty on the outside through surgery, and other outside means. Even still, I really enjoy the show. Everyone should watch the show, unless you think that it may not be appropriate for your oh so young eyes :)! Have a wonderful week!
