The show may not be 100% back to its original greatness but it is far and ahead better than seasons 3 & 4 combined.
Not only does the new setting in Los Angeles give the show a new freshness, the character of Eden (played by AnnaLynne McCord), the daughter of Julia's partner, has heightened the sexual energy of the show even further. (Didn't think that was possible on an already sexually-charged show as this one!)
Did anyone catch the episode that aired this past Tuesday (January 22)? What an ending! (I have more thoughts on this ending but I'll hold off until more responses come in).
This episode proves that "Nip/Tuck" is the juiciest drama on TV now, by far! The dialogue between Julia, Christian and another person in Christian's bedroom (won't say who, so as to not ruin it for those who have yet to catch up) was entertaining stuff.
I'm a bit concerned as to the direction the show is going with Sean's new agent but overall, the show is pleasure at its guiltiest, to say the least.
