Nip/Tuck - Season 2 [DVD] [2005]

Description

Product Description All 16 episodes from the second season of the popular US drama. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) are the plastic surgeons of choice for residents of Miami. Unfortunately, their skill with the knife is not matched on the domestic front, where their lives are forever in turmoil. This season finds Sean and Christian in full-blown midlife crises as they confront career, family and romance problems. The episodes are: 'Erica Noughton', 'Christian Troy', 'Manya Mabika', 'Mrs. Grubman', 'Joel Gideon', 'Bobbi Broderick', 'Naomi Gaines', 'Agatha Ripp', 'Rose and Raven Rosenberg', 'Kimber Henry', 'Natasha Charles', 'Julia McNamara', 'Oona Wentworth', 'Trudy Nye', 'Sean McNamara' and 'Joan Rivers'. From .co.uk 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." --Paul Gaita P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Synopsis 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! See more
