The fourty-seventh TV show: #661 Nip/Tuck
That was an interesting show for me to watch. I don't deal with blood well, and most medical dramas get to me. A show where we see everything of cosmetic surgery, then, is at times unpleasant for me to wath, and I admit that for part of it, I had my hand in front of my eyes so I wouldn't need to see what was going on.
What keeps you going is how much of a compelling drama this is. I thought it'd be fairly case of the day at the start, but that becomes less relevant as time goes on. It's a good thing - while they are used to address some social problems and had some preachy moments, they can also impede the continuing story.
And that's the thing. They've created some compelling, complex characters that you can empathise with on more levels than you expect. There are also plenty of times where they are reprehensible, but you feel that way about all of them. No one is really right. They have been some really compelling stories... and it's a shame that the gore is the main reason I'm happy to leave this behind regardless.
