The whole cast is back, and as strong as ever, and the writers have cooked up some really compelling plot twists, turns, and divergences, but there's three or four episodes in the middle of Nip/Tuck's third season that skirt dangerously close to shark-jumping territory.īack for a third series of surgical misadventures are Doctors Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon), two old friends who share no shortage of closeted skeletons and hidden secrets.

Just about one year ago to the day, I spent a very entertaining weekend with the second season of Nip/Tuck, a document of which can be seen right here.
