“The point that Ryan was making all along was as poignant as ever,” FX President and General Manager John Landgraf told me in an interview. Remember when they fixed their broken hearts/bruised egos with a three-way - and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful episodes of the series? Juxtaposed with a scene in the operating room in which Sean and Christian surgically separated conjoined twins, the provocative turn served to bring home the point that they really did need each other. Loyal to the end, I stuck with it, even when in later seasons the insanity outweighed the sanity, and Sean and Christian, as doctors and as men, no longer moved me.īut as the end neared, “Nip/Tuck” returned to its center - the doomed love story between Sean and Christian, two best friends and business partners who fought constantly, betrayed each other countless times (sleeping with each other’s wives was just the half of it) and broke up several times. I couldn’t get enough of the gorgeous cast, hyper-real situations, intrigue, off-beat surgeries, outstanding soundtrack, and the fresh prism through which it examined our culture. Not in its usual shocking way, with a gruesome surgery or another orgy, but with a tenderness and sentiment that I had really missed.įX’s sexy plastic surgery drama rocked my world from the start.

When Christian Troy ( Julian McMahon) told Sean McNamara ( Dylan Walsh) in Wednesday night’s series finale that he was dissolving their partnership so that Sean could move on and practice the kind of medicine he’d always dreamed of, “Nip/Tuck” slapped me in the face.
