| Nip Tuck: The Show
This drama is set in a south Florida plastic surgery center, McNamara-Troy, centering around the two doctors who own it. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) is having problems at home, trying to keep his family together, trying to patch up the rocky road him and his wife Julia (Joely Richardson) are experiencing. On the other hand, sex-craved Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) uses his "charm" to bring in potential female canditates and conducts shady business deals, often for the love of money. While Sean takes his job seriously, he often has to fix Christian's mistakes. During the first season, Sean and Christian got mixed up with Escobar Gallardo, a Colombian drug lord who forced the two to do free surgery whenever he wanted them to. Sean's marriage with Julia began to wear thin, and Sean had an affair with a patient named Megan O'Hara. Julia went back to school, but it was interrupted by a miscarriage of a child Sean and Julia were trying to have. Christian learned he is the father of a baby with a woman named Gina, who he met at Sexaholics Anonymous. When the baby was born, we learn that the baby is African-American, and therefore not his. Julia questions Matt's paternity.
The second season begins with Sean and Christian both turning 40, and Christian playing father for Wilbur, who Gina is letting him take care of, until Wilbur's real father fights him for custody. Sean and Julia are quite happy together again until Christian's loneliness after Wilbur was taken away from him causes her to reveal that Matt is really his son. The secret ripples and eventually Sean finds out, causing a separation between Sean and Julia. He and Christian find a way to stay friends. A serial rapist named the Carver has been raping victims around Miami, and slices their face, and Sean makes a commitment to fixing their faces. Ava, a life coach for Sean and Julia, forms a sexual relationship with Matt, which is doomed from the beginning due to a wide age gap and Ava's screwed up son Adrian.

Set in sexy South Beach, Miami, Nip/Tuck cuts beneath the surface of the superficial world of plastic surgery, dramatically revealing the complexities and fragile nature of patients trying to mask
their psychological flaws through physical cosmetic enhancement. This critically acclaimed drama stars Dylan Walsh (The Lone Ranger, We Were Soldiers), Julian McMahon (Charmed, Profiler), John Hensley (Witchblade, Madigan Men), Valerie Cruz (Strong Medicine) and Joely Richardson (The Affair of the Necklace, The Patriot). Nip/Tuck is created by Ryan Murphy (Popular).
Dr. Sean McNamara (Walsh) and Dr. Christian Troy (McMahon) are best friends and partners in McNamara/Troy, a booming plastic surgery practice the two have built together since graduating from medical school. Christian has no reservations about the services their practice renders and enjoys all of the perks (the money and the women) afforded to a successful plastic surgeon working in Miami. While the superficial perks are enough to satisfy Christian’s needs, Sean is left feeling unfulfilled. The years of selling phony images have taken their toll on Sean and distanced him from his wife and children. Disillusioned with the unseemly aspects of his job and is contemplating a "life lift." He has come to the realization that his beautiful home and financial success can no longer mask his unraveling family life.
Sean's spouse, Julia (Richardson), is a housewife and mother of two who is also unhappy with their marriage and resents the sacrifices she has made to further Sean's career. She too is looking for fulfillment and considers divorce and possibly back to medical school. Julia and Sean's teenage son, Matt (Hensley), has a better relationship with Christian than with his father, and Dr. Grace Santiago (Cruz) is a psychologist hired by the practice to screen patients.
