Coupling was the type of show that got over looked when it was first shown because at the time it was billed as the british answer to friends.But i can tell you that its 10 times better and funnier,the writing is slick and not to sickly sweet.The 6 main actors are really likable and each episode is well written,smart and very funny.So don't over look this hidden gem and i'll bet you your sides will be spliting after a couple of episodes.i can't wait to pick up the other series on ebay of course.
I always did enjoy Coupling, a sort of 'Friends' meets 'Cold Feet' especially the scenarios featuring Jeff at his whackiest! I think the first two series were probably better than the last two with the characters still developing. As I now live and work in Italy and can't get English tv I have to rely on dvds for my entertainment and it's comedies like this that you can't beat.
Forget the hit US show "Friends" See GB's best example of the dating game. As with most TV comedies, the first episode, where the characters are initially defined, is the best showing. Coupling's first episode here is no exception, yet somehow that magic sparkle seems to resonate into succeeding episodes. If you haven't seen it, then you must do so soon!
...and by all I mean every other sitcom too. This is truly indespensible viewing. If you love Friends or trash like that then Coupling won't be for you. Why? Because it is intelligent. There's no system to it; each episode plays with time and narrative and it is this what makes coupling truly great. This second season is the best as it is jam packed with comedy and situations that will have you crying with laughter.
Cheeky, sexy comedy series you would not want to watch with your Grandma. One of the funniest British TV shows ever.
