He -- or is it she? -- slices, they stitch. He maims, they heal. Plastic surgeons Sean McNamara and Christian Troy have vowed to make whole the victims of the elusive, mysterious serial slasher called the Carver. But mending the rifts in their own families and careers will require much more than their famed technical skills. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon return for a sensational Season 3 filled with eroticism, suspense and medical challenges ranging from a daring facial transplant to a 650-pound woman whose skin has fused with her sofa. There's a new doctor on staff, too: Dr. Quentin Costa, a tango expert and perhaps an expert at dissecting the practice for his own ends. Plus: Julia launches a new career, troubled Matt falls in with skinheads and the Carver turns out to be...Sorry, our lips are sealed. Watch and find out.

Editor's Note
This made-for-cable series is set in the flashy world of South Beach, Miami, where looking good is a full-time profession. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) are plastic surgeons. Sean is married to Julia (Joely Richardson) and has a conscience when it comes to his job, while Christian is willing to lie to get a woman into bed and onto the surgery table. Although they've been partners for years, their opposing ethical stances, as well as Christian's desire for Julia, keep the dramatic tension bristling. Contains all 15 episodes from the show's third season.

| | Professional Reviews | PopMatters 9 of 10
With the Carver, the show effectively challenges the logic of cosmetic surgery, asking whether it is creative or destructive (his very name suggests both an artist and a butcher). When the Carver attacks his victims, he injects them with a drug that immobilizes them, then slashes and rapes them. His act, like cosmetic surgery, exaggerates the power relationship between surgeon and client. And in this context, the male surgeons can be seen as emblems of a patriarchy that imposes ideals of beauty on women, literally, with their instruments. - Elaine Hanson Cardenas
