"Flash and cash. Sex and style. Power and prestige. All it takes is a Nip/Tuck. The acclaimed series at TV's cutting edge continues in a Deluxe 16-Episode Season Two Set on six discs with Revealing Enhancements.Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon return as the elite plastic surgery team of McNamara/Troy, whose skill at giving others perfect bodies contrasts with the doctors' imperfect personal lives. From love (Troy falls for a self-assured blind woman) to lust (McNamara dates a porn star), from painful revelations (a secret from the past shatters the practice) to powerful moments (conjoined adults seek the doctors' help) to astonishing truths (a New Age ""life coach"" hides what ultimately can't be hidden), this second-season operation is a total success. Thank you, doctors!"

Editor's Note
Capitalizing from people's beliefs that life's problems can be fixed through cosmetic enhancement, plastic surgeons Dr. McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Dr. Troy (Julian McMahon) run a lucrative practice together in South Florida. While they are professionally successful, neither man does a great job managing his personal affairs, with family trouble and illicit affairs (with porn stars and the like) giving NIP/TUCK its dramatic appeal. Things would be a lot simpler if only their own personal demons could be exorcised via the minimally invasive surgery techniques requested by their long list of high-society clients. In season two of this juicy, enthralling FX series, the McNamara/Troy business is put into jeopardy by the surfacing of something hidden in the past. In the midst of this crisis, the pair of hotshot doctors must wrestle with family dramas, paternity tests, and the challenging task of operating on two conjoined adult patients.

"Genuinely brave." 06/01/2005 p.150The Onion AV Clug 9 of 10
A potent cocktail of sleaze and substance, Nip/Tuck traffics in sex, sensationalism, drugs, voyeurism, and queasily explicit plastic-surgery gore that's far more disturbing than any of the series' more conventional violence...is gloriously unafraid of operatic gestures and Grand Guignol touches, but its core relationships are drawn with surprising depth and subtlety. - Nathin Rabin
