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. Written by NBC Promotion
Many people say that the American version of "Coupling" bombed because they were comparing it to the UK version. In reality, the Yank version didn't stand a chance. The actors chosen were decent enough, but they just cannot recreate the dysfunction in the same way. I mean, how can you have someone else play Jeff Murdock?? Or Jane, for that matter? Not to mention the fact that they would stick to the original script word for word at some times, and then add their own material in other areas (presumeably to reach the American audience). Soooooo bad, so very, very bad. Buy Seasons 1 and 2 of the British "Coupling" instead, and you'll understand the difference.
