Carving Perez’s face to The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” is gruesome even if parts of it go in fast forward. One of Nip/Tuck’s trademarks is its incredibly gritty and unforgiving surgical scenes. Considering Christian also can seduce a large amount of women through his job, we can see why he wouldn’t want to relinquish it. Christian doesn’t mind this and reminds Sean that they are close “to setting up for life” with their work. Then he curses his job, saying he doesn’t want to “poison” his family by conducting vanity surgery on them. Sean’s disillusionment continues when he can’t help the mother of a burn victim because she doesn’t have the money for an operation. Although Christian is much more permissive and open with his relationship with Matt, he still sets boundaries like the need to include Sean and get his consent. He has no problem with Matt cutting a few classes and even gives him a doctor’s note. Christian’s relationship with Matt is a close one and eludes to what we learn about them in the future. Since Matt doesn’t feel recognized, he consults Christian regarding a circumcision. Later at breakfast, we see that he doesn’t remember asking about a book his son Matt was reading and Matt notices that he doesn’t listen. Moments like this further reinforce how out of touch Sean is. While Sean is more courteous of Julia’s body, he treats her like one of his patients. Sean treats his wife’s desire for breast implants differently. Kelly Carlson is very pretty, but through Christian’s charm, she’s made to believe she is ugly. Christian ruins Kimber’s fantasy of being the perfect 10 by mentioning flaws most of us wouldn’t care about or notice, even marking her body heavily with lipstick. Christian is having the sex mere mortals dream of whereas Sean and his wife don’t look at each other during sex and think about shopping or firing the gardener.īoth men deal with the plastic surgery concerns of their lovers. It’s shocking how raw Christian and Kimber’s romp is. In addition, the $300,000 was an easy way to get him not to ask any more questions. However, even Christian doesn’t know the whole story, but what he hears (that Perez was with the boss’ daughter) appeals to his ladies’ man personality so much that he doesn’t learn the age of the girl. The implant was put in wrong, and Sean pointing it out showed that he is more talented than his partner is.Ĭhristian knows that Perez is lying about not being able to speak English and that he isn’t telling everything regarding why he wants the surgery.
Liz is disgusted by it, which helps set what her character is for the rest of the series. When Sean does, Christian is doing a butt implant. The Spanish compels him to have Christian intervene. He can’t see that Perez has ulterior methods behind wanting surgery.
Sean is clueless about Spanish, which everyone around him knows because of Miami’s Latino community. It’s great how much characterization appears in the show’s prologue. With its graphic depiction of plastic surgery procedures, explicit language, sexuality and occasionally violence, Nip/Tuck was fearless from the opening moments of the pilot episode. Nip/Tuck was the perfect addition to solidify this status.
Following the success of The Shield, a show emphasized for being too hot for network TV, FX decided to try to repeat their success and develop a reputation of having controversial, but artistically defendable programming.
