Nip/Tuck

This show is on FX Tuesdays at 10. It's a very unique show that pretty much revolves around sex, drama and feeding the male ego. We have Dr. Christian Troy and Dr. Sean McNamara who are both plastic surgeons with their own firm. The back story of these two is very interesting and you have to rent the previous seasons to find out what the issues are. The two had to get out of South Beach because they were on self-destructing paths dealing with their own seperate issues. So they packed up and headed to Hollywood, which is even MORE filled with plastic people. I don't really figure how they could assume how moving to Hollywood would be a better life for them but hey its a TV show and this sets up a great direction for the show.

The first show starts off with the firm struggling financially because of a lack of clients. Ultimately, they decide to hire a PR agent to get their names out there. They find themselves as consultants and special guest stars on a show called Hearts and Scalpels which is a cheezy ER-ish, soap-opera like show. It turns out Sean is the one who gets the screen time while Dr. Troy is cut out of the scene. Obviously, this is a blow to Dr. Troy's HUGE ego and he wants out. Setting up more fireworks between the two doctors. It seems like Sean is finally going to get his due in the spotlight.

We are also introduced to a couple new characters including: Tia Carrere who plays a dominatrix and Oliver Platt who plays the director of Hearts and Scalpels. Keep watching and catch up on the prior seasons before even attempting to watch!
