Product Description
From Amazon.com
Steven Moffat's second season of Coupling is a brilliant consolidation of all those neuroses, small deceits, obsessions, and personality tics that struck such a resonant chord when Steve, Susan, and their four friends were first unleashed on us. Comparisons with Friends itself are tiresome and lazy: Coupling is an intrinsically British comedy that picks apart the trivial and the mundane in everyday relationships and takes them on surreal journeys, leaving the participants hilariously bemused and rarely any wiser. Its success is due to the magical combination of Moffat's very funny scripts and the talents of six extremely likable actors, including Jack Davenport (Steve) and Sarah Alexander (Susan). But it's Richard Coyle's Jeff whose sexual fantasies exert a compelling fascination that will really keep you watching in disbelief.
Breasts, bottoms and pants are the basis for most of the conversational analysis when these friends get together as a group, as couples, as girlfriends, or as mates, invariably becoming metaphors for the state of a relationship or situation. Individual viewpoints and terrors are explored through respective memories of the same event and what-if scenarios. Chain reactions inevitably ensue, fuelling comedy that is based almost entirely on misunderstanding. --Piers Ford

Turn off your American network and watch this instead...
Jun 17 2004
Format:DVD
I think alot of Americans are turning to Britian for comedy these days. Between the advent of "reality tv"(If you'd like to call that load of bollocks reality) and censorship at an all time high, England's hysterical BBC has become a haven for SMART and INTELLIGENT Americans in search of witty and yet sometimes raunchy humor. Coupling has become my all-new favourite since ABFAB. So well written and performed by all concerned. Brilliant
(Jeff's most commonly used word)jokes and the most unreal sex farces you'll ever see!! All 3 seasons are so very worthy indeed!

Great show, even better DVD with special features

Plain and simple: Once you are able to ignore the canned laughter, this show is pure comic brilliance.
What situation comedy should be
Jun 23 2004
Format:DVD
This series follows the mad antics of 6 thirtysomethings looking for love. It explores the temporary insanity people find themselves in when they are pursuing a long term relationship, or just looking to get laid. They do and say the craziest things when love (or sex) is on the line. This show illustrates just how crazy things can get in that pursuit. To make this completely plain, this show is just plain funny, because people are funny. This show taps into that human comedy better than any American "sitcom" ever has. The second season is, in my opinion the best of the best. It contains the episodes "The man with two legs" and "The end of the line". These are must sees of the coupling series.

BEST #2
This is the best comedy on TV - anywhere in the world, not just the UK. But, COUPLING might be TOO British for the Yanks over here in the States to fully embrase. Read more
