Back in the ’00s, the likes of Lost, The Sopranos, Arrested Development, Deadwood, and Six Feet Under were making waves, and prestige TV was becoming a real thing.
But while those shows were all becoming respected in their own right and gaining forever fans, Ryan Murphy’s medical drama Nip/Tuck was doing something very different over on FX.
This was long before Murphy became the uber TV producer he is today, when his graphic, lurid shows are like buses.
In the ’00s, Nip/Tuck was very much pushing the boundaries of television with its chaotic storylines and queasy surgery scenes.
So why is Nip/Tuck rarely in the conversation when we’re getting nostalgic about the ’00s?
