Series Two of "Coupling" is a surprising drop in quality overall from the near-perfect series one, and I think it is due to the writer Steven Moffat stretching himself thin a bit, with nine episodes written for this series as opposed to the six written for the first series.
When I say 'drop in quality' I mean precisely that, but that does not indicate that this second series is anything other than thoroughly superb and enjoyable, with "The Melty Man Cometh" being the only less-than-excellent episode, but even that is fun and watchable.
We are kept waiting for the laugh-a-second hilarity right up to the final two episodes, where "Naked" stands as perhaps the funniest and my favorite "Coupling" episode, and "The End of the Line" plays beautifully on relationship dynamics.
Good stuff! Series average based on all episodes: 8.55/10
