Nip/Tuck
One of the things that I've been doing since graduation is (gloriously indulgently) catching up on all of the television that I missed while I was at Circle, and at UBC, and in high school, and during that random year after UBC and before Circle. I've watched all of True Blood (minus the last three episodes, which I keep forgetting to catch up on), and the first few seasons of Dexter, and a bunch of other shows while I was sick in bed at the beginning of June. True Blood was the most oh-my-god-I-must-watch-the-next-episode-NOW I've been since .... Heroes? I think? I think I made it through those first two seasons faster than I've watched any series before. Alan Ball is a master at cliffhangers, I'll give him that.
But Nip/Tuck. I figured I'd watch a couple episodes, because I knew a lot of people who watched it in college, and V---- and M--- did a scene from it in their acting class, and I wanted to know what the hype was about. I was not expecting a show about plastic surgeons to be so compelling. It's like a kitchen sink drama, with an O.R. where the dining room should be. I cannot take my eyes off of the three leads of this series, and they have broken my heart so many times since I started watching. I had to turn off an episode last week because it was so ... real. So bitter and honest and brutal. It's almost like a kitchen sink I've been warned that I'm not going to like it much longer, that it's about to go downhill, but I feel so grateful that I stumbled upon those first three seasons.
Can I be on a series like that? Please?
