Nip/Tuck, Season 4

This acclaimed series continues to fuel the debate about cosmetic surgery, in addition to exploring themes of family and intimacy. Julia (Joely Richardson) learns something is wrong with her unborn child, a fact she tries to hide from Sean (Dylan Walsh). Sean wants to regain a sense of family, but his relationship with his son, Matt (John Hensley), grows more distant. The biological son of Christian (Julian McMahon), Matt is often isolated and moody, and he projects his anger at those who love him the most. Christian is conflicted about his love for Kimber (Kelly Carlson) — a stunning beauty who became an adult video star — and her rejection of him and his ideals of perfection. Bright and caring anesthesiologist Liz (Roma Maffia) is often the only voice of reason. Continuing an impressive roster of guest stars, this season features Sanaa Lathan, Larry Hagman, Brooke Shields, Kathleen Turner, Richard Chamberlain, Melissa Gilbert, Jacqueline Bisset, Peter Dinklage, and Rosie O'Donnell.
