I've been hearing a lot about this show and im kinda wanting to get into it. How would you guys rate the show? And what exactly is it about? I never get a chance to see it on tv so I want to see how you compare it to other good shows on tv, so I can rent the seasons.

Thanks,

The show centers around two plastic surgeons: Dr. Sean MacNamera, a gifted, introverted, overly-moralistic type, and Dr. Christian Troy, a playboy/manwhore who's obsessed with himself. I don't want to give too much away, but let's say the show circles around their private lives, their business, and basically chaos that surrounds them.

The first season was absolutely fantastic. It was surprisingly original, very provocative, and engaging. imho, the show kinda dropped off after that, but a lot of people are likely to disagree with me. Warning, this isn't one to watch with the kids.

I liked the first three seasons, but after that, it really dulls off quickly. I haven't watched it since, but I own the first and third seasons. Its definitely worth a watch, I think, if you like exceptionally dramatic lifestyles, oh, and sex.

I used to be obsessed with this show, but after the first two seasons, the show takes a turn for the worst.

The show has its moments in the seasons after 1 and 2, but they are few and far between - we're talking like 1 good show every 4 episodes.

I finally stopped watching it because it was too much effort to watch a show that constantly dissappointed.

The show does feature some of the best characters out of any drama - both mains (Dr. McNamara and Dr. Troy) are absolutely amazing.

The later seasons aren't so bad they aren't worth watching, but it takes patience. The first two seasons have you gripped like super glue.

*EDIT*

The show also promotes doggy-style fucking of all female specimen, heavy drug use, and spending money like it's going out of style. 3 more reasons to watch.

Season 1 was great.

Season 2 was good.

After that, the show jumped the shark several times. Not the least of which was "the Carver"

Give me a break.
