Its equally captivating and riveting – but the practice’s and familys’ dysfunctionalities are more twisted and more shocking. If you found Nip/Tuck’s first season bizarre and controversial – the second season puts it to shame. I was right – except that I underestimated the enthrallment. I really didn’t know what to expect in Nip/Tuck Season II… but I expected to be equally enthralled. The Troy-McNamara drama sucked me in – and I enjoyed every controversial, provocative, and strange moment. I loved Nip/Tuck’s first season – if you read my review, I watched the entire season in a matter of days and couldn’t get enough. Nip/Tuck 2 takes the first season farther. Overall, a good rating, but I wouldn't let my young children or anyone sensitive to gore watch it. Add to that the "slut de jour" for the playboy and you end up with a really good storyline and strong characters to support a show that is sometimes WAY too gory! That level of blood and guts, or in this case blood and celulite is the ONLY real drawback of watching the show.well, that and seeing the "moral family man", fall into a hole of doubt that leads to an affair with a dying patient.Shawn (the familyman) is REALLY annoying because of his "better than thou" attitude. You have the bored, wanna be perfect wife and mother in the midst of a midlife crisis, the s on who is exploring his own sense of morality, not to mention his sexual revolution and a daughter who is usually overlooked and only shown for the cuteness factor. The family behind the main characters are strong supports and often dramatic distancers for the main story and move this firmly into the realm of soap opera. You start the series thinking the Playboy's morality is questionable and end up realizing that morality is in the eye of the beholder! One an upstanding family man who performs facelifts for the rich and famous to pay for the corrective surgery he performs pro bono and a playboy who performs facelifts to bed the rich and famous AND the beautiful. Two partners in a Plastic Surgery Firm, best friends who are as different as night and day.

This show is about plastic surgeons and Florida and has an excellent cast, both as actors and characters. Just a Nip and a Tuck and a roll in the Hay!
