This is a fantastic deal on the complete Nip/Tuck Seasons 1 to 4. I bought the entire box set last year during a slow telly season, because I had caught a couple of episodes when I was on holiday in America. Nip/Tuck is some of the best telly to come out in years.

It is gripping drama, darkly funny and tragic at times. It centres around two handsome surgeons who are business partners and best friends, and are both involved with a woman called Julia. Sean, a highly ambitious and perfectionist surgeon, is married to her and they have a family together. Christian, a promiscuous and misogynistic surgeon, had a relationship with her years ago. He is unable to commit to any woman, partly because of his deep-seated psychological issues from being molested by his adoptive father, and partly perhaps because he is still in love with Julia.

The storylines revolve around the competitive friendship between Sean and Christian, Sean’s family life and relationship with Julia, and Christian’s never-ending list of conquests, as well as the endless stream of patients who come to their practice for help fixing their faces, bodies and lives. Before watching the show, I had thought that it might be boring if every patient was after a nose or boob job and obsessed with superficial physical beauty, but the writers of the show have really researched the subject and come up with a lot of interesting scenarios in which people would seek cosmetic surgery for a very diverse range of reasons.

I was most impressed by the writing: the dialogue is as sharp as a surgeon’s blade and the dramatic tension is almost unbearable at times. Nip and Tuck is extremely more-ish, and I was so glad that I had purchased the entire box set, seasons 1 to 4 and could watch the episodes one after another without being at the mercy of weekly programming.

The surgery scenes are very realistic and meticulously executed. They have done something very clever for those who are a bit squeamish, you can tell that a surgery scene is about to begin whenever you see the anaesthetist putting a CD in the CD player. Look away then and don’t look back at the screen until the music ends.
