Sound off in the comments. I’ve always been a die hard Sean stan. What is your favorite Sean Era? (Mine is season two)

This show never gets old for me.

Hello,

I'm a new watcher of the show, and i love it !

I'm looking for a music, i can't find the title anywhere 🧐

I think it is played several times, but i just heard it on the fourth episode of season 2, at the end when Christian is in the church, watching Wilber and his biological father leave.

I'm french, so i apologize for my mid english !

Thanks for ur help !

(Not technically a new viewer but I haven’t rewatched in many years so I don’t remember much!) Currently on season 5 episode 4. I flew through the first three seasons and loved every minute of it. Started to lose interest in season 4 but still enjoyed it for the most part. I know a lot of us feel this way about the later seasons. Everything is just getting more and more ridiculous lol. Not in as much of a fun way as Miami. The vibes are just different in LA. The earlier seasons still felt sincere no matter how ludicrous the plot was at times. I really hate feeling this way because it’s been my comfort show ☹️

One thing I do like about this season so far is that I actually finally feel some chemistry between Julia and Christian. I neverrrr felt the chemistry they were trying to push on us until now. Had me almost wishing they would finally go ahead and be together lmao.

I thought the carver storyline was SO good up until the very end when they just started slicing up everyone’s face for fun. I think where it really started to go downhill was when Kit arrested Christian. We all knew he wasn’t the carver, there was no doubt at all. After what he went through and watching the effect the assault had on him, it just seemed so stupid for the writers to have him arrested.

They didn’t need to have Kit be part of the murdering duo either. It really just could’ve been Quentin and turned out fine. It honestly seemed like some sort of quick way to get Kit and Quentin off the show or something. The random featuring of Gina being carved was so dumb. They could’ve ended it with Quentin being shot and been done with it.

From the end of season 3 on, the show started feeling like a telenovela with all the “plot twists.” I’ve kept going despite being quite bothered by the overly dramatic storylines and am now on season 5, but it’s getting hard to watch. I had to fast forward through Conor’s episode because it was just too ridiculous.

Tell me it gets better, please?

The show jumped the shark the moment they moved to LA in season 5 but jfc this arc for Matt is so embarrassing and cringe to watch.

Dr. Teddy Rowe is absolutely annoyingly insufferable. The pick-me edgy attitude is so unwatchable. And the ‘Blake Lively’ like mouth acting is infuriating.

That’s it. That’s the post.

I’m on a rewatch and on mid- season 5 and I wonder if at the time of airing, anyone rooted for any of these characters and honestly thought they were redeemable or if everyone was clear this was a “horrible people being horrible to each other” show 🤣 Other than Liz, every character here is so deplorable and deserves the consequences of their actions.

•Sean has illusions of grandeur thinking he’s so magnanimous when he’s actually an insufferable unhappy jealous prick.
•Basically the same can be said about Julia, just add that she had a continuous self sabotage streak to make her self the fulfilling self prophesy of always being a victim.
•Matt is a perpetual victim literally making the most stupidest decisions. Yes, half of them were when he was a kid but he quickly proved he’s just dumb af once he turns adult age (didn’t help his parents were horrible).
•Christian is a downright sexist sociopath down to the “I hate women because daddy touched me when I was little and mommy abandoned me (put him up for adoption after being raped by a confirmed sociopath) ”

And that’s just the core cast! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My billionth rewatch and I had absolutely forgotten the conversation Julia and Gina had while watching Julia delivering Matt.

Either that or it never clicked before that Christian was there at his son’s birth

Just wanted to say that, it was a nice little “awwww” moment when I realized.

The category was Verb-al TV. First photo courtesy of J-Archive. Second photo was the one they put on screen during the clue.

And the way Sean acted towards Julia finding out about Matt being Christian’s, RIGHT AFTER HE CHEATED on her and begged for her back, was so hypocritical and outta pocket LMAO

They didn’t turn out perfect but in my defense google doesn’t provide much help and I’ve been watching it on DVD 😭

When that influencer couple announced recently that they aborted their baby because of it's diagnosis, the first thing that came to mind was the storyline of Liz aborting her and Christians baby because he was going to have down syndrome. I didn't watch the show back then so I dont know if it got the reaction at the time, that this couple is getting now.

Season 4, episode 7. I think I might actually hate him after how he treated Kimber in this episode. Showing up unannounced, basically begging her to have sex with him despite her repeatedly saying no. He admits he lied to her and pretended to give a shit just to get laid. And all of this right after getting tested as a donor match for Liz?! Went from being incredibly thoughtful to incredibly cruel just like that. 😭
Again, Kelly Clarkson blew me away in that scene. She portrays heartbreak like no one else.

Just an observation. Her portrayal of Kimber is just perfect. She’s one of the few characters that genuinely feel like they could be a real person. Her vulnerability with Christian in particular is acted so well.

Edit: Just started season 4, episode 1-no spoilers please!

I’m on my 6th rewatch, probably not gonna make it to season 5 lol. Currently on S2. I loved the Wilbur storyline! I still remember when I was little and I first watched the scene where Christian says good bye to Wilbur “tell him you’re my son”😭 and bawled my eyes out.

RIP Julian.. an amazing actor.

I love many of Ryan Murphy’s works (even with the crappy endings), Nip/Tuck, AHS, Ratched, Feud, Monster S1, The Normal Heart (movie) and maybe a few others, so I think it’s such a shame that he sold out so he can hang out with Kim Kardashian and other untalented people who just wanna be on TV…

Some time ago I posted here in complete an utter awe/shock or what this show is. Originally I thought I will watch it through and then write a short review of it all, but as someone mentioned in the comments there, doing each seasons review is also a good idea.

I was very happy to receive so many comments (support, should I say? 😅) and got many answers.

I finished the season 1 shortly after, but somehow my mood switched and I did not go further. But I am back now and again in complete disbelief at what I am watching. How is this possible? Everything is SO bad - acting, dialogues, scenes, stories. Is everyone really writing this and thinking: this must be how humans operate and how they talk/behave. Actors reading this and thinking: sure, this checks out.

Now I am back in mood to watch how ridiculous this gets and will take notes as I watch, since I did not in the first season (too stumped to have that idea, I guess - or just never tought I should in the first place).

But shortly to review season 1: again, nothing else to say but - this is sheer nonsense.

- doctors can just walk into any hospital and demand stuff/take patients/operate of patients

- stories are hyped up and then dropped like its hot (example: Cara and the car accident) oh... WAIT - was her name Cara supposed to be "foreshadowing" of sorts? are they so silly/stupid/insane? LOL - I just thought of it and it is so silly it might just be true. or they were just sitting in the writing room and talk like: lets say they hit a girl with a car. ok, sure. how should we name her.... I dunno... Cara? oh-my-god. 😭🤣

- teenagers are indeed stupid, but are they really so stupid to have a 3some in the middle of the day while parents are nearby, and blast insane music as a background?

- as I also wrote before: the daughter (cannot remember her name, but she mush have had one, right?) is there for two reasons:

1. to have a mouse at the beginning to have that drama going on

2. to look more like Julie so its immediately obvious who stands out in the family picture

- "plot twist" with Gina's baby was also easy to see - but Troy's decision to be the father nonetheless is not. surely, its very good and noble of him, but Gina is there only to scream at him and call him asshole (for all the wrong reasons)

- Sean and Julia are just incredibly plain and boring and yet we are supposed to care for/about them

oh, now it is all coming back to me. Sean cheating with the dying lady and she actually picking HIM to be by her side on her deathbed? What!? and ALL of them going to the funeral?? WHAT!???

oh, oh, OH! the mob guy - they gave him the face of another, more dangerous criminal!? and we are all to assume and accept two things:

1. while arresting him, FBI shows him the list of wanted people to "prove" him that they are looking for him (just casually carrying the printout of most-wanted faces); and

2. FBI will arrest and prosecute the guy based on his face, while his fingerprints/blood/body type/tattoos even will never be looked at. But then again, Face/off was also considered to be a serious movie... or it was, then.

So, this was not much of a review but rather a rant and getting it all out of my system. I have a theory about the show, but will write it next time, all together with screenshots and notes from the second season.

till then, feel free to diss, admire, joke about, marvel at, the first season of the nip/tuck.

p.s. please do not spoil what is coming in details. I know it will be only more insane in general, and few things I spoiled for myself, but lets focus on Season 1 here.

🫶

So they just move on with their lives knowing the carver is out there somewhere not caught hurting innocent people and can come back some day??

What about the random dude who would sneak into medical offices and pretend he needed fecal samples what on earth was the point of introducing this plot?? Just for the oddity I guess.

And OMG Eden. She poisons julia who's health deteriorates dramatically and suddenly after she discovers the truth and gets shot she magically regains her health (obvs cause she's not being poisoned anymore) and no one wonders why or what was wrong with her they just accept it like that wasn't weird at all, and Eden just gets away with her crimes???

Anyway overall I really did enjoy it, it was quite the ride and I absolutely love Julian Mcmahon. He is the reason I started watching after falling in love with him on Charmed. I also believe this show has the greatest soundtrack of any show ever.

Potential spoilers in this post-please no spoilers for me! The way Christian repeatedly treats people like shit and constantly lets the audience down makes me want to hate him so bad, but then there’s little moments that make you love him again. For example, I am currently on season 3, episode 6. The boys are going through financial hardship after Christian is falsely accused of being The Carver. He meets with Gina and says he is broke but he will still pay for her HIV meds and we learn he has apparently *still* been paying her bills this whole time but can’t anymore and you’re like shit he actually is deep down a good man but he is just so highly flawed. And then you learn more and more about why he is so flawed and it makes me hurt so much for him that I can’t stay mad. I guess this is probably how all the characters in the show see him too and that’s why they can’t cut him off even when he acts like a total asshole. I love his character.

So, the last time I watched the show, I was pretty much a child/adolescent and I remembered only parts of it so now that I'm an adult, I decided to rewatch it and maybe see it through different lens.

Anyway, it's crazy how the show remained entertaining even though so many years it passed and how it covered very progressive ideas and I always admired the show for it. But one thing that sends me INTO ORBIT is Matt's arcs.

Like, when I was watching it as a kid, I just found him cute and I didn't pay much attention to what he was doing. But now, bro HAS NOT MADE A SINGLE GOOD DECISION IN HIS LIFE. I legitimately started laughing when he said he wants to join Scientology. Like I thought that finally the thing with Kimber could actually work for him because I didn't clock it instantly and I thought: hm maybe it could work who knows. But no...

I realized how much of the show I actually don't remember. I'm on Chrstian's bi/gay panic now and I find it hilarious as well. But it oddly makes sense at the same time.

I've seen a lot of people criticize later seasons but I still find it chaotic and fun. I still find it entertaining overall.

Also, the Carver situation. I really enjoyed that arc and I hope Quentin comes back. This might be a hot/unpopular take but I find him really fun as a villain.

Anyway, I just wanted to unload some of these thoughts in this sub because I don't have many people to talk to about this. So do with this what you will lmao
