Based on the lives of two hotshot Miami plastic surgeons, who in this season have relocated to LA, the show has the power to make even the most ho-hum suburbanite's Tuesday nights spicier and more scandalous.
Known as TV's guilty pleasure that delivers "Sex, seduction, and liposuction," the show has had a long run of exciting, nail-biting, hair-curling events that have kept me on the edge of my seat for the last four seasons. From the surprise paternity mixup between Sean and Christian, the slasher who preyed on beautiful people in Season 3, Matt's all-around disfunction and Kimber's domino relationships with Christian, Sean, and current marriage to their son, who can pry their eyes away from the screen?
The drama is addicting because the events are so out-of-this-world and unrealistic. The glitz of their nightlife and beautiful staff make the plastic surgery scene intriguing and desirable. Yet, through the glam, the wild love pentagons, and devious situations, I feel the characters' real human hearts and identify with their struggles-- even though the storylines are outrageous and I have never stepped foot in a plastic surgeon's office.
This season's events are hardly as traumatic as the past ones. Matt and Kimber are iceheads, Julia is now a lesbian, Sean gets engaged to his show's costar, and Christian is still after Julia. Then Sean breaks his engagement because he can't stop thinking of how she pooped in the hot tub, and then Sean admits he's still after Julia too. I have to admit though, this season is hilarious.
So is my disappointment in this season's progress premature, and something is going to happen to knock my socks off? Or are they running out of ideas and resorting to more humor and predictable stories because of it?
My DVR is now programmed accordingly because I have lost the will to park myself in front of the TV for an hour on Tuesday nights, even to watch my favorite show.
