In fact that is the main flaw with season 5, if not the entire show. Even those who split and found new relationships, such as Matt and Kimber, still seemed to be the same people, unaffected by the events in their lives. While many things happened to the characters, few showed any lasting change. They and their plots seemed to be designed to shock us, but they didnt do much to round out these new characters or move the existing characters along. Even worse, I wasnt sure if I cared about these characters. When the studio executive in charge of the show heads off to visit a dominatrix to distress, I wasnt sure if the season was on track or jumping the shark. Maybe it would be OK if we didnt follow some of the television crew off-set, but we do. While the self-centered, over the top Aidan is highly entertaining, there are times when it seems just a bit too much. The soap takes up a good amount of time in the beginning episodes of the season. She wastes no time in getting them a gig as technical advisors on a television show based on, would you believe it, plastic surgeons!Īs they work on Hearts n Scalpels, they meet its executive producer and various members of its cast, including Aidan Stone. To solve this, they bring in publicist Fiona McNeil. As one would expect, there's no lack of need for plastic surgeons in Los Angeles, but theres just one little issue for McNamara/Troy. The season begins with Christian and Sean moving their practice from Florida to Beverly Hills. However, it wasn't all good for the boys and their friends. However, those 14 were explosive and backed full of new twists, new characters, and lots and lots of sex. The season was originally to be 22 episodes, but because of the writers strike, only the first 14 were shown. If you love Nip/Tuck, you're sure to have anxiously waited for season 5 of the popular show.
