DVD Description
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 like his dummy). Guest stars include Jacqueline Bissett, Larry Hagman, Alanis Morissette, Mo'Nique, Rosie O'Donnell, Brooke Shields and more. Thrills, surprises, shocks, stars abound in this 5-Disc Set. And all it takes is a little Nip/Tuck.

My peanut butter addiction,
By
This review is from: Nip/Tuck - Season 4 [DVD] (DVD)
Accepting that `nip/tuck' is and always will be mindlessly ludicrous, trashy television...I really thought season four was pretty good viewing and a definite improvement on the third season.
You're never going to get a particularly sensitive or accurate portrayal of any of the subjects this show chooses to tackle in its stories (e.g. addiction, religious cults, disability, organ-theft (!?) etc.), but considering how tactless the general standard of nip/tuck's writing and performances can often be, I didn't think one of the main storylines, which concerns Sean and Julia's newly-born disabled son was too badly handled. Of course it's obvious that eventually they'll decide to operate on him in order to make him as `normal' as possible and anyone waiting for the most basic parental instinct of loving your child unconditionally to eventually kick-in with these people is going to be waiting a very long time. The `nip/tuck' obsession with perfection is at an all time high and perhaps that's what makes it such refreshing escapist television, because it rarely delivers the contrived happy-ending with all the requisite morality boxes checked. In the same way that season three made me laugh out load at some of the most ludicrously implausible plot developments in history, instead season four made me laugh at some fantastically funny and unique characters, written and performed to great effect. Rosie O'Donnell is probably the highlight as a heart-of-gold lottery-winner, but there's a wealth of celebrities to enjoy spotting in this season, in fact it's a rare episode that doesn't deliver a famous face, even in the most minor role. Now that's it's been accepted into the mainstream, I guess such seasoned actors as Kathleen Turner (playing a phone-sex operator), Richard Chamberlain (as a gay sugar-daddy) and Little House on the Prairie's Melissa Gilbert (playing a character too out-there to be described in a conservative Amazon review) now feel able to let loose on 'nip/tuck' with some of the most risqué characters never before seen on television. High art it `aint, but that's really not the point.

Lost the plot,
By BermondseyStu (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nip/Tuck - Season 4 [DVD] (DVD)
Well, i am at the close of season four and this show appears to have turned in to a parody of itself. For a while i felt that it had immense potential although clearly it was never in the same league as Six Feet Under. I cant begin to describe how ludicrous the plots have become, the inclusion of endless celebrities just demonstrates how much this programme has dumbed down. I am so disappointed, what started out as a pretty interesting delve into the world of plastic surgery and human psychology has degenerated into a farce. Season four gives us organ harvesters, improbable relationships and huge artistic licence. The slide began i series 3 with everyone in the cast seemingly becoming a victim of the carver (a serial rapist,) In series four everyone seems to get their kidneys stolen by Jaqueline Bisset and Kimber sleeps with a son and his two dads. I could go on but i don't see the point, the writers appear to have lost the plot, this was their chance to make ground breaking television (West Wing, Six Feet Under.) I am sad to say that they have blown it.

Better than acceptable,
By
This review is from: Nip/Tuck - Season 4 [DVD] (DVD)
Series 4 may have disappointed some but it certainly didn't disappoint me. It was still very entertaining and different from anything else on tv which was more than enough to keep me compulsively watching every episode.
