Tips

I am almost embarrassed to say this, but Nip/Tuck is the best television drama i have ever seen.

This past episode dealt with trust, self-confidence, love, accomplishment, masculinity, femininity, fidelity, life, death, success, failure, forgiveness...all through the guise of superficiality.

To question morality through such a seemingly "immoral" show is simply brilliant. Opening credits with mannequins, and the line "Make me a perfect life." It holds such deep meaning. The pursuit of perfection. Not just physically, but internally.

This is something that isn't mentioned or questioned: Are Americans just as obsessed with inner beauty as we are with outer?

Do we strive for moral grandeur as we do bodily splendor?

Maybe we don't.
