Series 4 may have disappointed some but it certainly didn't disappoint me. It was still very entertaining and different from anything else on tv which was more than enough to keep me compulsively watching every episode.

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.

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!!!!!!!

I thought the 4th season was not as good as the first,second and third season .But if you like this series I think it worth watching it.

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 risqu?? characters never before seen on television.

High art it `aint, but that's really not the point.
