You will be at a great loss to figure out what is going on now if you have not followed the show from its inception. The main problem with this series lies in where you, the viewer, make your entrance. Irony has a field day on this show as those who you deemed to be stupid and insensitive turn out to be just the opposite when situations change. On "Nip/Tuck," both the good sides and the dark sides of each character are brought to the fore. Yes, all the characters on the show are dysfunctional (with the possible exception of Liz), but they are far more realistic than all the characters on "Father Knows Best" where everyone only had a good side. What makes "Nip/Tuck" different is not that it seems like a cross between "ER" and "Jerry Springer," - which it is - but that it keeps the viewer engaged by being both off-the-wall and unpredictable. Thankfully, "Nip/Tuck" is not one of them. There is a lot of mindless, self-serving crap on Network TV today with all the reality garbage that only appeal to the lowest common denominator. I have little patience for people who get bent out of shape about TV shows like "Nip/Tuck" that push the envelope when they are warned, up front, that the show contains material not suitable for the average viewer.
