Nip/Tuck: The Sixth and Final Season ReviewsNip/Tuck: The Sixth and Final Season
Sex. Seduction. Liposuction. Find them all in the fearless Nip/Tuck, the award-winning series that’s the scalpel’s edge of entertainment…and the spark for debate about what cosmetic surgery can or cannot bring to a patient’s life. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon play plastic surgeons/best friends whose glamorous South Beach practice is a revolving door for Season 4′s hot-button issues (including a terrifying story arc about an organ-harvest ring) and human foibles (a ventriloquist wants to look

Review by Terry Richard for Nip/Tuck: The Sixth and Final Season
Rating:
One of the best cable shows ever broadcast, “Nip/Tuck” closes its doors at its plastic surgery clinic for the final time. This boxset includes all 19 episodes from the final season and comes with bonuses including a gag reel, deleted scenes, and an informative featurette called “Tell Me What You Don’t Like About Youself?”.
To say that I am going to miss Sean and Christian as well as the rest of the cast is an understatement. Very rarely do we see shows of this caliber; the writing, acting, and production values are what made it stand out from most network shows and I doubt if we will ever see a series of this quality dramatizing stories with plastic surgery as its main content ever again.
The final season has a slew of guest stars including the marvelous Vanessa Redgrave and hunky Mario Lopez reprising their roles from previous seasons. The stories are also daring as the season begins with Liz attempting to take Christian to the cleaners in a nasty divorce settlement; Julia’s mother’s attempt in adopting Annie; and the most shocking story in which Matt winds up in prison with his psychotic roomate wanting him to have breast implants!
This wonderful boxset will be available in stores on June 8th, 2010.
Goodbye “Nip/Tuck”…you were a class act!

Throughout this final season, our two doctors begin to see signs that they may be redundant in a financial world which crashed. Their success was largely dependent on lots of cash being available for elective cosmetic surgery. Also, Sean’s and Christian’s relationship becomes the pivotal aspect of the show, not any other relationship. This sets off the best episode in the entire five seasons when the two of them start going to couples psychotherapy with a psychiatrist. I have never laughed so hard as I did through that episode. That was pure five stars all the way. However, the way the series winds down with the final handling of all the characters is what pushes it down to four stars. Many of the characters you’ve grown to love or hate are brought to conclusions which strain credulity, even in a show which was always campy and over the top. I’m reluctant to say more about how anyone ends up as that will ruin it for viewers. Let me concentrate on the highlights instead: Julia’s mother tries to wrest custody away of the children with Julia planning and achieving ultimate comeuppance for her mother at long last. Sean gets involved with a woman who is a black widow style killer who in turn meets a serial killer, which ironically saves Sean. Sean going ballistic with the serial killer in the police station is the ultimate in camp hilarity. Matt tries to find himself as a boardwalk Mime (he’s a very good mime) which leads to a massive criminal law mess which presents several way, way over the top resolutions. If your sense of hilarity and absurdity are well in place, you will enjoy this final season. If you take this show seriously, you might hate the final season.

I watched this show since the beginning back in 2003 or 2004, either way I was there when Christian and Sean first fed Silvio to the crocodiles and to the very end. I grew to love these characters and never had so much emotional investement in a TV show ever in my life. While having the superficial exterior of a slick, shallow show that only focused on physical perfection the performances of every one of these characters highlighted the true emotional spectrum of what it means to be human, and they went through everything imaginable and took us on one hell of a ride with them! Of course, Sean and Christian are both the real stars of this show. Dylan Walsh and Julian Mcmahon had an oscreen bond that showed that they were truly a real team and they were good in every episode in the series. I remember back to season 2 when they were apart to be torn apart because of the revelation Julia made to Sean, and how that blonde who looked like them made them see how much they needed one another. Sean Christian were two brothers who were very diffirent, and instead of those differences ever tearing them apart they only made them their partnership stronger. Christian: flashy, good-looking, callous, sometimes cruel was what sympathetic, kind-hearted, good-natured Sean needed and vice versa. Through Julia they channeled each other’s virtues and faluts and the series was a hit. I miss it already and I will never forget Nip/Tuck.
