Viewers scramble to their televisions to tune into the Nip/Tuck drama series every Tuesday night at 10 p.m. Indeed, the insightful and wild personalities of each and every character help to create the unforgettable episodes. The Fox network is the provider for the show in which a vast majority of students can’t seem to get enough of.

“This show is so exciting. The unexpected and unrealistic always manages to hold my attention,” sophomore English and communication major Meghan Reilly said.

While many are commonly familiar with the nature of the show, some choose not to partake in the Tuesday night Nip/Tuck extravaganzas.

Ben Curry, a freshman undecided major, said, “I have not watched the show. I do not enjoy watching people get cut open.”

Nip/Tuck is set in south Florida. Doctors Sean McNamara, played by Dylan Walsh, and Christian Troy, played by Julian McMahon, take pleasure in their medial practice. Being the ideal plastic surgeons, they live lives of utter perfection.

These two plastic surgeons have vowed to do their best to mend the damage of the mysterious serial killer called the Carver. However, reworking the physical cruelty brought upon their patients becomes much more difficult. Problems arise within their medical practice, family and friends which send them for a whirl.

Sean McNamara struggles with his moral standards and complications with his family. The husband to Julia, played by Joely Richardson and the father of now three children Sean is faced with the responsibility of a lifetime. He attempts to manage his practice, the inevitable changes in his son Matt, his youngest daughter, and the handicap of his newborn son. Sean without a doubt pays the price for his mistakes.

Handsome, wealthy womanizer Christian Troy continues to live his life on the edge. Both men and women cannot help but fall to his each and every word. “The guy is a straight pimp,” freshman undecided major Anthony Mazza said. Through confidence and sexual power, Christian runs a life of excellence.

Women find themselves craving his sparkly smile and smooth words. “Christian is the man, he does what he wants and gets away with it,” Reilly said.

Made up of a variety of characters and filled with a multitude of personalities, other students take the time to recognize the sincere individuals. “I actually like Liz, because she is honest and straight forward,” sophomore special education major Lauren Tice said.

Now partaking in season four, Nip/Tuck continues to provide the excitement viewers desire. The discrepancy in characters depict the unavoidably startling and unexpected. Next week partake in the experience of Nip/Tuck as the outrageous and scandalous will only continue without your consent
