Critic Reviews

David Hinckley

How fitting, then, that the plastic-surgery drama returns Tuesday for its fifth season by dangerously reinventing itself. Dangerously - and totally successfully. Read full review

Gillian Flynn

Nip/Tuck has reclaimed its sense of humor. Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times

Charlie McCollum

At least early on, Nip/Tuck manages to hit the right notes and reclaim a spot as one of television's most watchable and entertaining series. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

The shamelessness of Nip/Tuck returns intact, which is a good thing. Read full review

Mary McNamara

Ten minutes into the season premiere of Nip/Tuck and you have to wonder what those deeply disturbed plastic surgeons were doing wasting four seasons, and all that unexplored sexual tension, in Miami when they so clearly belong in Los Angeles. Read full review

Linda Stasi

I wish I hated this cheeseball show as much as I used to. But damn, if it ain't a hoot and a half. Read full review

Brian Lowry

So if it's not the great show it was, the latest incarnation proves extremely watchable, which is surely welcome. Read full review

This season is extremely refreshing and is already far better than last season. It is now funny and has many new ides. Eden is an excellent character that adds to the already drama filled story line.

Blasphemy! It was amazing. The move will definitely revitalize the show, in part because Julia won't factor as much in the plot. Also, where else are you going to find Oliver Platt, Jennifer Coolidge and Portia di Rossi in one place?

It saddens me to say, but as a longtime Nip/Tuck viewer, I wasn't really all that excited about the fifth season premiere. Season 4 was Godawful (boring storylines, dreary guest actors, etc). I really enjoyed season 3 but 4 was enough to turn me away. It was really really terrible.

I really enjoyed season 3 but 4 was enough to turn me away. It was really really terrible. But I waded through it anyway, and I am glad I did. While the show is still not near the peak of season 1 or 2, so far it kills the last 2 seasons as it seems Ryan Murphy has remembered what made the show good in the first place. Too bad it took him so long though.… Expand

Was not impressed. As a long time viewer, I think the producers have made a fatal mistake in moving their show to LA. Missed seeing the usual characters in their comfortable settings. I give it a year.
