Nip/Tuck: Season 5, Part 1 (2007)

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 14 fifth-season episodes on five discs and featuring compelling extras, the highly praised Nip/Tuck is a prescription for entertainment unlike anything you've ever seen.

Editor's Note

This fifth season of NIP/TUCK relocates the made-for-cable series to Los Angeles, where plastic surgeons Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) find themselves right at home among the glitz, glamour, and slime of the entertainment industry. While a significant slice of their practice is dedicated to improving the looks of actors, the pair soon find themselves on the other side of the camera after being hired as consultants for a medical drama. But will the lure of fame prove toxic to their partnership? Meanwhile, Matt (John Hensley) and Kimber (Kelly Carlson) continue their downward spiral with jaunts into drug abuse and pornography. Included here are all 14 episodes of the fifth season, including guest appearances by Oliver Platt, Lauren Hutton, Portia de Rossi, and Rosie O'Donnell.
