NIPTUCK S1 (DVD/S) [2004]

10/10. I thought this show would be superficial rubbish. I was so wrong! The acting is phenomenal. Everyone in this show is extremely talented, charismatic, relatable and the storylines are compelling. I’ve also learned a lot about plastic surgery and it’s not just about making people beautiful. I would rewatch Season 1 again, and I highly recommend it.

This first season of 'Nip/Tuck' is nearly ten years old. However, watching it again in 2013, I was reminded of that one quality that defines a great story: timelessness. Other TV drama series from the early Noughties might now seem slow and out of date. But not 'Nip/Tuck'. Ryan Murphy's vision was to create a show that explores the depths of our culture of superficiality. And right from the pilot episode to its season finale, 'Nip/Tuck' is gripping. Characters such as Christian Troy, Sean McNamara, Kimber and Gina are simply unforgettable. And their storylines have an addictive quality. As we become more superficial, 'Nip/Tuck' should become compulsive viewing for a new generation of viewers who missed it the first time. And for the fans of Ryan Murphy, 'Nip/Tuck' is a brilliant preview of the gems that he would go on to co-create such as 'Glee' and 'American Horror Story.' If you have got this far to this review, you would already be aware of those great shows anyway!

Nip/tuck is a completely original and unique tv series. Its bold, colourful, harshly graphic and brilliant throughout. Ok some of the story is a bit far fetched but the one thing that I think makes this show stand out from the rest is the relationships between the characters, they just seem so realistic. The two doctors make you believe that they are dependant on each other dispite apperances. Julian McMahon plays Dr. Christian Troy, a single egotistical womaniser, who will have to improve his ways and Dylan Wash plays Dr. Sean McNamara who is a married father. Right from the first episode your thrown into the deep end you soon see the unsteady side of Sean's marriage and Christian's thrill seeking attitude. Add an amazing soundtrack and I promise that within 10 minutes you'll be hooked. The box set comes with some good extras, the documentaries show how they created the amazing visual effects as well as a music video to the remix version of the excellent title song.

Love this show and inparticular Christian . Love the sexiness, the gore, the witty quick script , the ability to tackle issues , just a great watch to really unwind at the end of the day . The only reason I didnt give 5 stars ? I thought the closing 2 episodes were a little silly . Previously having been moved to tears we were now in Carl Hiassen comic bad guys style and I did not also believe how Christian was suddenly wanting to become a family man . Shame, I shall still look forward to series 2 on my dvd player tho .

This is one of those times when you have come here out of curiosity and that you glad you did. This show is just so dark and brilliant. The first few episodes will keep you satisfied but you may not want to watch the whole boxset in one go, which is no bad thing, because when you come back to it you will just go - wow.All the actors are super although you may not think that at first. Absolute genius of a show - ten out of ten.

Sadly several episodes didn't work.But I really did enjoy the show but I do find certain storylines very unrealistic like bad soap opera unrealistic. And dont eat food while watching this as the operations they do are very gory at least to a sensitive soul like me😊

The best dvd boxset I have ever watched, all characters are exciting and entertaining, all apart from the irritating, shaky, repetetive, dull and bland Julia. Couldn't warm to her at all but am addicted to watching this programme and have just ordered series 2. The storyines are over the top but this is exactly the kind of show people want to see, never a dull moment!!!

Such a great TV show, after starting watching it when it first started I lost touch with it due to a rubbish job and unsociable hours. But finally I'm catching up again and loving every minute of this spectacular show and starting from scratch. Can't wait to get the rest

I really enjoyed the series when it was on TV and it's great being able to still watch them.

Dylan Walsh und Julian McMahon sind schon Grund genug sich die Serie anzusehen, selbst, ohne Ton. Medizin für die Augen.(Durch die Zwei)Die Serie ist einfach der Knaller! Ich habe sie bis jetzt nur auf Englisch angeschaut, aber wer gewisse Grundkenntnisse hat versteht auch so alles, denn die Mimik und Gestitik der Schauspieler sagt manchmal alles.So ein Serie habe ich noch nie gesehen, die wirklich alle Themen des Lebens auf den Tisch bringt, so wie sie in Wirklichkeit auch sind! Und von einer Szene zur Anderen muß man manchmal fünfmal die Gefühle wechslen, von tieftraurig bis hingerissen und bis zu einem Lachanfall!Und man fiebert bis zum Schluß jeder einzelnen Folge mit! Die OP-Szenen sind echt authentisch gemacht, was einen aber nicht abschrecken sollte. Man kann es aushalten.Die erste Staffel kommt ja ab 21. Dez. ich kann nur sagen schaut es euch selber an und ich kann euch garantieren, ihr könnt nicht mehr aufhören Sie zu schauen.Und die DVD ist wunderbar und hat sehr viele Specials, die Outtakes sind das Allerbeste. Ist ihr Geld wirklich wert. :)

I love the Profiler series. Ally Walker is a fantastic actress and perfect for the part.

THIS SERIES IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF HOW GOOD TELEVISION CAN BE PRODUCED. I AM JUST SORRY THAT ALLY WALKER LEFT THE SERIES, AN THEN IT'S ULTIMITE DEMISE.

As a crime watching maniac I was slightly disappointed with this series.I found the plot with Sam and Jack became quite irritating and then Sam's inability to deal with the aftermath personally was beyond irksome.I hope I do not put anyone off as I come from a legal family going back to the year dot and still are in the business so I think my opinion could be a bit overboard.On the whole the rest of the series was quite good.
