Could this possibly be the greatest season ofNip/Tuck?
Yep, Im starting this initial TV Watch off with a potentially controversial query.
But judging by the premiere episode, I think the answer is unequivocally yes.
(Also check outGillian Flynns review.)
This is theNip/Tuckweve always hoped for.
But its not just these two fellas who look rejuvenated.
The shows trademark blend of campy comedy and melodrama is perfect in the premiere.
The only thing that could make things better is if Ava (Famke Janssen) returned.
Are you reading this, Ryan Murphy?
First off, how much do we love the new McNamara/Troy offices?
Can I stay there the next time Im in Los Angeles?
They looked like a fabulous boutique hotel.
Second, did Sean (Dylan Walsh) always have such a nice body?
It looks like Dr. McNamara has finally invested in a BowFlex.
Or is the West Coast weather simply agreeing with him?
NothingNip/Tuckloves more than a gratuitous body shot.
One alarming trend, though, is that both docs have gone a little too far with the manscaping.
Theyre starting to look a bit like hairless dogs.
And Julian McMahon needs to stop sucking in his stomach.
Just go with the gut, dude.
It turns out that Christian is feeling a little self-conscious about his appearance in this new world.
Something was seriously up with his hair as well.
And dont get me started on his new affinity for necklaces.
Despite the move to bigger and better digs, the fellas plastic surgery practice was suffering.
Instead, they found publicist Fiona McNeil, played by the always welcome Lauren Hutton.
What a great casting choice!
Nobody can play a dragon lady quite as well.
It was hilarious to see Sean and Christian watching the show together.
(What no masks?
Cooper completely overacted and displayed some surprising comic chops.
(During filming, Freddy exclaimed, Im going to win a Humanitas for this.)
If you didnt see it, dont ask.
As usual, Coolidge stole most of her scenes.
Her wailing like a baby was genius.
And I think we have a new term to compete with va-jay-jay: lady cha-cha.
It was he who landed the supporting role on the series while Christian was edited out.
Finally, the usually gloomy and tortured Sean gets to have some fun.
Its about damn time!
When we finally saw the Mistress, she was fishing for Bobs nipples in the recovery room.
It gave a whole new meaning to the term Bassmaster.
That was awfully difficult to watch.
But how great does Tia Carrere look?
I thinkDancing With the Starsmight be the best diet for C-list celebs since the Zone.
When Christian defaced her photograph with his lipstick, her look of rejection was just heartbreaking.
She finally caved and agreed to have the surgery as long as it was confidential.
And then Christian kicked her while she was down by leaking news of her facelift toUs Weekly.
Im guessing Fiona is not going to be too happy about that.
Ooh, and the best part of the episode?
Matt (John Hensley) only appeared via a voice-over.
He sent Sean a letter announcing that he and Kimber had a daughter named Jenna.
Luckily she doesnt seem to take after Matt in the creepy-eyebrows department.
What did you think of the season premiere?
Will Carly find out about Christians betrayal?
Do you want Julia to come back?
And are there any other characters youd like to see move out west?
