Nip/Tuck’s Most Over-the-Top Moments

For these seven years, Nip/Tuck has remained a weird beast. Sometimes excellent, sometimes jaw-droppingly audacious, and sometimes, well, stupid, it wasn’t easy to classify. Was it quality TV? Probably not. Except when it was.

It had some legitimately interesting things to say about sexuality and identity and when they wanted to bring out emotions, by damn, they did it. (Any episode about Christian and Wilbur is almost guaranteed to be fantastic.) But then they’d go over the top for shock value, and you’d suddenly feel guilty about watching it. In the end, Nip/Tuck was not always good, but it was always awesome.
