6/10
Goes up and then far down

Warning: Spoilers
As a whole this show was to be about plastic surgery and the two men that use it to superficially plaster the world. Seasons 1, 2 and 4 follow this. Season 3 is murder mystery. But season 5 and 6 are just garbage - not just over the top stories and characters but the show went from mostly attractive young Kimber (from innocence to straight up desperation and prostitution but deals with drug addiction by giving it to a church and bam total cure?).

There was a relative understanding of why the clients get the work done, where the line is for the doctors to do the work or not, and it's not all just about the money. Then season 5 not only moves to Los Angeles but there is very little surgeries, a lot of old ugly women, a darker insanity without any reason, no one has any morals or desire to have any, there is no reason to exist as a show or as any characters.

People complain about Rosie O'Donnell being back for a few episodes but for the entire season 5 she's the only one worth watching along with Oliver Platt's supporting characters. The rest is simply boring, waste of time, mindless and pointless. I don't understand why this show didn't simply get cancelled at end of season 4 or shortly into season 5. It's not one person from creator to writers to directors' faults but it is across the board boring and garbage for season 5 and 6. I regretted watching them the first few times and I regret watching them again. But seasons 1 to 4 are good enough to watch, binge, enjoy and see the "oh the humanity" darkness.
