NIP/TUCK


"Tell me what you don't like about yourself?" That's the question that opens up one of the most creative TV shows to hit the airwaves since THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Doctors McNamarra and Troy may be new to Hollywood, but they are veterans of the beauty industry. The show originally had these plastic surgeons with the magic hands working in the hip world of South Beach, Florida, but they have since moved their practice to the home of fake youth, Los Angeles.

NIP/TUCK is more than just your average TV drama; with storylines that range from fixing a porn stars broken eye socket after she had her female co-star punch her in the face during filming to tightening the female parts of the rich divorcees in town, this show keeps you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think they can't come up with a freakier plot, they hit you with something that's wild, shocking and delicious to watch. The best part of their storylines is the fact that they are pulled from real life! If you want to know how messed up and vain our society is, look no further than FX on Tuesday night.

Thus far this season we have seen the sexy DR. Christian Troy accidently push the mother of his son over his balcony during a session of angry sex, a man murdered by Sean's mentally deranged agent who literally stuffed him to death and Sean's ex-wife dump her lesbian lover to finally give in to her undying passion for her ex's partner. And that, my friends, is just the tip of the iceberg! If you are tired of the rehashed junk that passes for TV programming lately, you must watch this show. Be forwarned though, some of the scenes are extremely dirty; like the one where Sean's ex-girlfriend released her bowels all over the hot tub they were both luxuriating in. Trust me, if fit perfectly into the story.

But it isn't just good story telling that keeps viewers watching, it's the chance to watch two of the best looking men on TV go at it week after week. After you watch just one episode, you'll be asking "what don't I like about myself."
