Product Description
From Amazon.com
The turbulent lives of two handsome and high-priced Miami plastic surgeons may be one of the more unusual premises for a television series, but the FX Channel's Nip/Tuck combines sudsy sex and biting wit with the emotional quandaries involved in body modification in a way that makes for an engrossing--and occasionally gross--hourlong drama. The show benefits greatly from its two leads--Dylan Walsh as the troubled "good" surgeon and Julian McMahon as his predatory (but equally troubled) "bad" partner--as well as Joely Richardson as Walsh's wife and Roma Maffia as the surgeons' nurse. If Nip/Tuck does have a stumbling point, it's in its occasionally glib dialogue (series creator Ryan Murphy was a writer for the verbally flashy high school series Popular), which can clash with an episode's more dramatic and poignant moments. The show also doesn't shy away from showing the more gruesome aspects of plastic surgery, but viewers can often see more stomach-churning images on the top-rated CSI. But the strength of the performances and the originality of the premise make these rough spots manageable for viewers looking for an interesting spin on the usual "doctor show." The five-DVD set offers an extended version of the pilot and all 12 episodes of the first season as well as a trio of documentaries (one on the show itself, another on its special effects, and a third, "Realistic Expectations," on real-life plastic surgeons). A gag reel (amusingly titled "Severed Parts"), a selection of deleted scenes for most episodes, and a music video for the title theme ("A Perfect Lie" by the Engine Room) round out the box. --Paul Gaita
Description
Beauty, the saying goes, is only skin deep. The beauty of Nip/Tuck is that it goes deeper, laying bear the complexities and fragile natures often found in patients seeking cosmetic surgery. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon portray hotshot Miami South Beach plastic surgeons who are themselves in full-blown midlife crises as they confront career, family and romance problems. The series' cutting-edge stories range from funny to suspenseful to uncommonly powerful. The surgeries are graphically bold. The sexuality is rampant. Presented here in 13 first-season episodes on 5 discs and featuring compelling extras, the highly praised Nip/Tuck is a prescription for entertainment unlike anything you've ever seen.

Ce commentaire est de: Nip/Tuck: The Complete First Season (DVD)
Nip/Tuck is the most compelling series produced in years. Being TV-challenged myself, I hardly ever find anything that entertains me and engages my mind. Nip/Tuck has done it - and more. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

Ce commentaire est de: Nip/Tuck: The Complete First Season (DVD)
I saw a clip on tv and after that I knew this was going to be a great show. Sadly I didn't end up watching any of it. Once it came out on dvd I got it the day it came out. I must say that this show has everything. The plot is interesting and you are never bored or thinking when will this end. The characters are well developed and they all grow throughout the course of the season. If you want a great and very entertaining show that will never bore you then this is for you. However, if you like things to be very realistic and accurate I would stay away from this. That is not to say that it isn't accurate, but some people may find it a bit over the top. GOT BUY IT NOW IT IS AWSOME!!!! WELL WORTH THE 60 BUCKS!!!
