Kicking things off with a new status quo, Sean (Dylan Walsh) and Christian (Julian McMahon) face a set of existential and financial problems right after their move to LA.

For Season 5, Murphy decided to relocate the setting to Los Angeles in order to freshen things up (a much-needed change), and that’s when everything spiralled out of control in the worst and best possible way. With Season 4, however, the credibility palpably began to falter, and the series lost some of the exciting flair that made it so captivating. With its explicit depiction of surgeries, kinky sexual shticks, and open discussions of body image issues and gender politics, Nip/Tuck was well ahead of its time.Īfter the impressive debut season, Murphy and his writers managed to maintain the show’s commitment to realistic drama through Seasons 2 and 3, mainly through intriguing weekly cases and some well-written personal traumas. In the early aughts, the series about two plastic surgeons in Miami offered something fresh and spicy that has never been seen on the small screen before.

If you’re a fan of Ryan Murphy, chances are your fandom began with his first breakout television show, Nip/Tuck.
