1) Amazon.com
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

2) Description
He -- or is it she? -- slices, they stitch. He maims, they heal. Plastic surgeons Sean McNamara and Christian Troy have vowed to make whole the victims of the elusive, mysterious serial slasher called the Carver. But mending the rifts in their own families and careers will require much more than their famed technical skills. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon return for a sensational Season 3 filled with eroticism, suspense and medical challenges ranging from a daring facial transplant to a 650-pound woman whose skin has fused with her sofa. There's a new doctor on staff, too: Dr. Quentin Costa, a tango expert and perhaps an expert at dissecting the practice for his own ends. Plus: Julia launches a new career, troubled Matt falls in with skinheads and the Carver turns out to be.... Sorry, our lips are sealed.

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) A few flaws but nothing that can't be fixed with surgery   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
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.

2) Nip/Tuck 3rd Season   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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.

3) A wee bit biased   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love these boys,,, so I loved this series. Difficult for me to be objective.

4) Never cease to amaze me!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I dont get how they can keep coming up with these amazing storylines... its compeltely new every time... nothing is ever the same. I also love how they incorperate people who have been on the show previously into new episodes, it really does tie the whole show together..... GREAT JOB!

5) love it   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Just get them all, you will never be dissapointed. If you are a fan of wit and satire this is the series for you.
