I liked Claire in the first season or so, but then she just irritated me. She's the one out of the bunch who you can tell is acting.

REMEMBER DONT BE SPOILERS! The sixth season hasn't been on here yet.

I think she's perfect for the role, but it's certain things she does with her eyes and stuff, it's like she's practiced certain shit infront of the mirror and she thinks it looks cool or sexy, then does it on camera. I can tell she's acting, and I don't like that. But she's perfect as Claire.

I voted Nip/Tuck and seem to be the onyl one who has. Not because I liek it more than Six Feet Under, but because the 3rd season just came on tele here and I loved that show first. Such a great fucking show.

Well, in a way, the character Claire is acting, because she's trying to find herself. She's always trying on new roles, so what you may be noticing is simply something very in character.

No, it's not that. It's facial expressions that seemed forced etc. You notice it alot in drama schools etc and in plays. It's alittle over acting. I think Nate is a great actor.

You'll probably hate nip/tuck. Its more of a soap opera than six feet under and sopranos combined, in my opinion.

I consider Nip/Tuck a soap-opera with writers who don't repeat everything and anything thats ever been done before.

I don't consider it a soap-opera. Soap-operas are given that title purely for the cheese and cliche factor.

soap operas are just hour long shows dealing with the endless sequences of personal interactions/betrayals/commitments/etc., ussually about rich people since rich people are the only ones with the leisure time to complicate their lives in such manners over and over again for our viewing pleasure.

some dramas are procedurals (CSI, LAW & ORDER) which just detail week in and week out the sequence of events that people go through to solve a case, or cure a duisease, or try a criminal in court.
some dramas are escapist action (Miami Vice and stupid shit like that)
some dramas are morality plays, where the main point of each episode is the internal struggle of a character or several charatcers to make a decision which is a diffcult one. (all the star trek stuff, House, ER)
some dramas are purely about the interpersonal relationships and endless twists and turns of those relationships. that is what soap operas are all about (dynasty, sopranos, dallas, melrose place, the OC, etc.)

Anyone watch the season finale of "Nip/Tuck" last night? What did everyone think of that "Magnolia" moment when the cast was singing? Season 4 was very uneven, it had some very good episodes and others were just ho-hum. The first two seasons of "Nip/Tuck" are classic. Third should have been great but it ended uneven as well. I'd hope that season five brings its focus back, some of the season 4 episodes I thought stood up to any from the first season, and some were just okay.

Nate's good! And David's boyfriend is also really with it. I really want to get back into 6 feet under again, I only watched one episode recently and it was 2 seasons ahead of where I am.

Yup, The Wire is just incredible. Finished season 1 DVDs a few weeks ago. Getting a lend of Season 2 over christmas, season 3 I saw on TV last year. It flows and unfolds in such an unassuming, natural way, but it just grabs you by the balls until you end up watching half a series in 1 day. The way the corruption just seeps into everything, and everyone just wades through it like its nothing. Why the fuck wasn't it in the poll?

Sopranos is great, loved Deadwood too. Liked Six Feet Under for the first series or so but it just got so emotionally overloaded it started to wreck my head. Nip Tuck is utter shite, but funny sometimes.
