Amazon.comIt's time for a follow-up appointment at McNamara-Troy, Florida's hottest--and most dysfunctional--plastic surgery center, and the setting for the controversial television drama Nip/Tuck, which gives audiences a peek into the professional and private lives of two driven doctors and their (mostly female) patients. If the first season had its share of shocking visuals and storylines, viewers should probably strap themselves into their easy chairs for the events in season 2. In addition to the usual offbeat medical issues (the team gives a man breasts, reconstructs a woman's sexual organs, restores a host of gruesome mutilations, and comes very close to undoing Joan Rivers's face work), Drs. McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Troy (Julian McMahon) must deal with a vicious serial killer known as the Carver, a vengeful former patient (Jill Clayburgh), a woman with alleged stigmata, and a life coach (Famke Janssen) who reveals a stunning secret past--all in the course of just 16 episodes. Guest turns by Alec Baldwin, Vanessa Redgrave (the real-life mother to series regular Joely Richardson), and Sarah Paulson (Deadwood) compliment the already high-quality performances by the cast, and the episodes seem to have ditched the glibness of season 1 in favor of a more serious tone, which makes for a more uniformly enjoyable watching experience. As with the season 1 set, The Complete Second Season includes several extras, most notably 45 minutes of deleted scenes, and a featurette titled "Recurring Pain," which explores the relationships between three female characters and Dr. Troy. --Paul Gaita
Fascinating (and somewhat disturbing) New Characters! (Rating: 5 out of 5) The series gets even crazier with the new season! You will love the new characters and the crazy plots for each of the episodes in this season. The Carver plot is intense, and keeps you watching and guessing through every episode. If you liked the first one, you will LOVE this episode!
another great season (Rating: 5 out of 5) Another great season of Nip/tuck season 3 and 4 are when it starts getting really crazy.
No flaws. (Rating: 5 out of 5) Nip/Tuck - The Complete Second Season is definitely the best of the series so far. Season 2 is sick, twisted, and oh so addictive. Dylan Walsh (Sean) and Julian McMachon (Christian) play plastic surgeons who are also best friends. The real treat when it comes to incredible acting is Joely Richardson who plays Julia the wife of Sean who is a deeply troubled and highly insecure woman who is carrying a secret that could destroy Sean and Christian's friendship to shreds. Some of the surgery scenes are pretty gruesome but the storylines and The Carver saga make this season 100% watchable. I highly recommend it, buy it today!
This shows keeps getting.. (Rating: 5 out of 5) better and weirder but it is definitely good entertainment. I am a fan and can't wait to see what happens next. I am hooked!
Still one of the best shows on TV! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Season 2 of Nip/Tuck was definitely not a disappointment. As we delve further into the world of McNamara-Troy, we learn a little more about what makes the talented surgeons tick. We are allowed complete access to their dysfunctional lives. Sean has learned that his entire life may have been a lie, perpetrated by his best friend/partner Christian and his loving wife, Julia. We see his confused son, Matt (who looks surprisingly just like Michael Jackson) struggling to become a teenager. Christian is still bedding everyone who moves, but we come to understand a little bit more about him. Although he is "beautiful" on the outside, we soon learn that Christian is merely an insecure man who truly only wants to find love, from wherever he can get it. And Sean, no matter what Christian does will always love him like a brother, although he definitely doesn't agree with everything that he does. And while dealing with other bizarre and complicated medical procedures, we find that a nasty serial killer (nicknamed The Carver) is on the scene and wrecking havoc. As we learn a little bit more about the ambitions and insecurities of the characters, we come to not judge them, but appreciate and understand what drives them to do the things that they do.
