Storyline

The mating ritual can get messy. Let's see if we have this straight... Steve's with Jane but he's suddenly hot for Susan who met Steve through Jeff whom Susan used to go out with though she's just dumped Patrick despite the great sex so Patrick's asked Sally out which bugs Susan since Sally is her best friend... Based on the outrageous British hit series of the same name, Coupling concerns love and lust among six thirty- somethings who are either involved, formerly involved or looking to become intimately involved -- often with each other. The result, not surprisingly, is a very involving comedy filled with eye-popping situations and equally jaw-dropping one-liners. The comic possibilities for pairings appear as limitless as the characters' desires for Coupling. Wild comedy... Insatiable laughs.

User Reviews

Original: Brilliant. Clone: Bad Copy

I adore the original BBC Version. Here I am watching the Clone....squirming here. I know these words. I know this situation. OK...too soon to tell. Oh, no!

SAME EXACT SCRIPT! How ridiculous! How pathetic...

Sigh....the thing is - EVERYONE in America will think just how "funny" this is. I don't get it. It IS already funny...in the BRITISH VERSION!

Is this like Shakespeare in the Park?

Stick with the BBC Version. They did it RIGHT...the FIRST time!

Must everything be "Americanized"? Why didn't they just show the British version so those great actors could share in the glory?

Sigh....
