It might not be a perfect episode, but it is a great one. Join me as I break down what makes this early trans-centered storyline so surprisingly sincere, how it paved the way for shows like Pose, and why Sean McNamara’s moral arc still hits (frustratingly) hard in 2025.
Also in the mix: Joey Slotnick’s Bobolit slides into frame, Christian cosplays as Cole Turner from Charmed, and Lou Eyrich’s wardrobe deserves its own plaque in queer TV history.
Content note: Nip/Tuck deals with a wide range of intense themes (this episode in particular). Please proceed with care.
