Nip/Tuck Sexy Drama Ends Season Three with a Bang

At eight this morning I realized a rather startling fact: I have become more obsessed with Nip/Tuck than I am even with WWE (and if you’re a wrestling fanatic, you know how sacrilegious that statement is). The realization came about fifteen minutes into an in-depth online discussion with my partner covering such deep thoughts as, “OMG Quentin and Kit are brother and sister?!” and “What if Matt and his friend didn’t really kill that freak?!”

Are you feeling lost? Then you’ve obviously missed out on the third season of one of television’s most sexy, bloody dramas. 

Nip/Tuck Under Fire

Entertainment Weekly gave Nip/Tuck’s third season a D+, and the filth cataloguers at the Parent’s Television Council is having a heyday trashing the sudsy surgery soap opera, but viewers continue trying to dig up the dirt on their favorite characters.

What is it that causes such divided loyalties? The love-it-or-hate-it show definitely has some intensity that warrants the TV MALV ratings (it contains a lot of nudity, violence, adult language and adult situations), and the topics that it tackles are definitely not for the faint of heart.

For instance, in the last season alone dedicated Nip/Tuck fans have watched the caddish Dr. Christian Troy (played by truly delicious Aussie actor Julian McMahon) be brutalized and raped by the Carver, be left at the altar, and in last night’s season finale we were there in breathless anticipation as his bride-to-be was found in a bloody shred of her former self wandering naked on Alligator Alley. We’ve also watched Matt, the teen-age portrait of angst, beat a transvestite into broken pieces and then being beat himself and – literally – urinated on by the transvestite’s friends.
