Nip/Tuck is an American serial medical drama television series created
by Ryan Murphy that aired on FX in the United States from July 22,
2003, to March 3, 2010. The series, which also incorporates elements
of crime drama, black comedy, family drama, satire, and psychological
thriller, focuses on "McNamara/Troy", a cutting-edge, controversial
plastic surgery center, and follows the personal and professional
lives of its founders Dr. Sean McNamara and Dr. Christian Troy
(portrayed by Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon, respectively). Each
episode features graphic, partial depictions of the plastic surgeries
on one or more patients, as well as developments in the doctors'
personal lives. Focus is also given to McNamara/Troy's
anesthesiologist Dr. Liz Cruz, Christian's many sexual partners, and
Sean's family. With the exception of the pilot, each episode of the
series is named after the patient(s) scheduled to receive plastic
surgery.Unlike most medical dramas, Nip/Tuck used serial storytelling
and often had story arcs spanning multiple seasons; for example,
seasons two and three focused on a serial rapist known as The Carver,
who often mutilates his victims' faces, leading McNamara/Troy to
provide pro bono surgery to the victims.The show premiered on July 22,
2003, and concluded on March 3, 2010, with the 100th episode. While
the show was initially set in Miami, at the end of the fourth season,
it was relocated to Los Angeles, and many of the characters followed
along. The show earned 45 award nominations, winning one Golden Globe
and one Emmy Award. Series creator Ryan Murphy said that the medical
cases on the show are "100 percent based on fact".The drama is set in
a plastic-surgery center, McNamara/Troy, centering on the two doctors
who own it. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) is often found having problems
at home due to being seduced by beautiful women on a daily basis, and
thus tries to keep his family together by patching up the rocky road
in which his family and he are living. Partner Christian Troy (Julian
McMahon), though, uses his charm to bring in potential female
candidates and conducts vain business deals, almost never failing and
ending up with dozens of women in bed. Sean takes his job seriously;
he is often found having to fix some of Christian's mistakes.
