DVD Reviews of Nip/Tuck - The Complete Third SeasonDVD Review: The roller-coaser continues... Summary: 5 StarsEven more wonderful debauchery from the Nip/Tuck gang! Once you find out who "the Carver" is and they explain his back-story, don't go back and watch the earlier episodes or think about it too much because you'll ruin it for yourself. Other than that, sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the lives of your favorite characters continue spiraling out of control!

DVD Review: Okay....Now It Is Getting A Little Weird.... Summary: 3 StarsI am a big fan of the Nip Tuck series, but this season went a little too far. Transexuals, White Supremacists, and Gay Surgeons took away from the very interesting "Carver" plot. I still would recommend the season (primarily because the Carver plot is awesome), but beware that there will be times when you roll your eyes at how weird the show is getting. This season caused me to wonder whether or not I should invest in the next season (which I wound up being glad that I did). If you are a Nip Tuck fan, buy it, and enjoy the good episodes (ignore the bad). Have fun!
DVD Review: Never Received it. Summary: 1 StarsI never recieved the product bc they said they don't ship over seas. I brought it from Target instead.
DVD Review: Where is the old Magic? Summary: 3 StarsIt is my opinion that Season 3 of Nip/Tuck lost its appeal. What use to be edgy and creative, now seems redundant and silly. The writing is now starting to feel forced, although I am trying really hard to hang in there. Sean is more confused than ever. Christian is still being Christian. Julia has become irritating and opened a "spa" with Christian's old flame. Matt, Sean and Julia's son, has become down right stupid. While you were once sympathetic, you now frown and suck your teeth. He has become pathetic. And the main storyline, for two seasons now, The Carver is finally revealed and I was so disappointed that I felt cheated. I mean for several episodes, we have had buildup, creative storylines and some clues as to who the dastardly villain is, only to have a twist thrown in there that on the surface would have been better they taken a different avenue. This season, the attempt to push the envelope simply didn't work for me. Hopefully the writers will find their old magic and start writing well, instead of just ok. I for one am a fan who doesn't just want all edge and shock, but some of the old charm of past seasons.
Description of Nip/Tuck - The Complete Third SeasonHe -- or is it she? -- slices, they stitch. He maims, they heal. Plastic surgeons Sean McNamara and Christian Troy have vowed to make whole the victims of the elusive, mysterious serial slasher called the Carver. But mending the rifts in their own families and careers will require much more than their famed technical skills. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon return for a sensational Season 3 filled with eroticism, suspense and medical challenges ranging from a daring facial transplant to a 650-pound woman whose skin has fused with her sofa. There's a new doctor on staff, too: Dr. Quentin Costa, a tango expert and perhaps an expert at dissecting the practice for his own ends. Plus: Julia launches a new career, troubled Matt falls in with skinheads and the Carver turns out to be.... Sorry, our lips are sealed. Watch and find out.DVD Features: Deleted Scenes Documentary Featurette
Over-the-top yet well-written, Nip/Tuck was one of the most intriguing shows on television. until season three, when it took everything--everything--way too far. What once used to be a show about self-worth and society's perception of beauty as portrayed by plastic-surgery patients has become about the abject humiliation of women and rampant storylines. It alienated many fans, who found its love of excess ludicrous and at times, unforgivable. Maybe it was the storyline about Matt (John Hensley), who discovers the love of his life was actually a transsexual, shaves his head and starts dating a white supremacist (American Dreams' Brittany Snow). Or the disturbing new plastic-surgery cases (obese woman physically stuck to her couch, a 17-year-old petrified fetus). Or even the new surgeon Quentin Costa (Bruno Campos) who sleeps with male patients, romances Julia (Joely Richardson) and turns out to have a little "physical quirk" of his own? But the knife that truly stabbed the show's pace into the ground was the ongoing mystery of the Carver, a rapist/killer in a creepy porcelain mask who disfigures victims. Just when the show starts to jell, another character with their mouth cut Black Dahlia-style turns up and throws the show back into a whodunnit, and not even a well-crafted one at that: By the time they reveal the killer's identity, you just don't care anymore. Someone also made a mess of the characters, or at least turned them all manic-depressive; the moral flip-flopping between Sean (Dylan Walsh) and Christian (Julian McMahon) is inexplicable at best. One goes wild, the other grows a conscience--and then they switch sides. One is on the brink of divorce, the other gets engaged--and another switch. It's headache-inducing how each of the main characters become nonsensical and not the least bit engaging. Here's hoping Nip/Tuck regains its mojo in season four. --Ellen A. Kim
