Reception
The second season received positive reviews from critics, holding an 86% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[3] an increase from the first season.[4] People wrote "The second season of Nip/Tuck seems giddily determined to top the first",[5] whilst David Bianculli of the New York Daily News wrote "The FX series begins its second year with assurance, inventiveness and more than a little boldness. If you're missing the sassy frankness and playfulness of Sex and the City, look no further: The torch has been passed."[6] Brian Lowry of Variety wrote "Program creator Ryan Murphy has consistently made like Fred Astaire, dancing up to the edge of 'too far' without toppling over."[7] Steve Johnson of the Chicago Tribune gave a less favorable review, saying "Amid this determined luridness, the show tries to stick in some 'real' drama, and the effect is knock-you-off-your-seat disconcerting."[8]
