I loved Nip/Tuck season 1 & 2 and hated the third so much (the most obvious plot lines ever) I had no expectations for the 4th. But I had to tune in for Dr Troy mmm. Having watched the first 7 episodes i was totally hooked when SKY cruelly removed it from my TV package. It was so good back to it's most outragous best, I am now about to start my maternity with the whole season to watch. Hurrah.

Brilliant series of Nip/Tuck!

Having been an avid fan of Nick/Tuck since it started, I thought season 4 started the thrills straight from episode 1 unlike series 3 were it took 3 or 4 to get into it. Season 2 is the best in my opinion, closely followed by 1 and 4. It's a must see series that has powerfull, comical, and disturbing storylines, beautiful woman and the American dream lifestyle that is tested to the limit due to the obsurd situations that the characters end up in! Great Television!!!!!!!
My perfect 10!

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.
No thrlls, no surprises for the "disturbingly perfect drama" season4

As an avid nip/tuck fan, think I speak for a lot of fans when I say season 4 was a major disappointment. I wanted so badly to like it and kept tuning in each week in hopes that the next episode would redeem the last. Alas, it never happened and only became increasingly frustrating to watch. Ultimately, the only reason to watch this season was the fact that it is nip/tuck after all (edgy, intelligent and still worlds better than most television) and viewers like myself have most likely invested a lot of time in prior seasons already. Understandably, it had to be difficult to keep up the intensity of seasons 1 & 2 but the show's slip that began in season 3 was acutely magnified in season 4. Poorly written plotlines and undeveloped new characters, both of no interest whatsoever, plagued the show and it seems that creator Ryan Murphy was perhaps too busy with other projects (Running with Scissors) to keep a watchful eye on the quality/progression of his baby.
For people who have not yet seen it, please don't ruin an otherwise enjoyable experience by having any expectations of season 4.
