Product Description
From Amazon.com
The performances are as strong as you'd expect from an established team, with actors such as Jack Davenport (the ever-perplexed Steve), Ben Miles (unreconstructed chauvinist Patrick), Sally Alexander (dryly intelligent Susan), and Kate Isitt (neurotic Sally) wearing their roles like second skins. But in the surreal stakes, it's Richard Coyle as Jeff, wondering aloud what happens to jelly after women have finished wrestling in it, and Gina Bellman as Jane, musing on the importance of a first snog in identifying what men like to eat, who really raise the laughter levels. All things considered, this is superior comedy for all thirtysomethings--genuine and putative. --Piers Ford

What Happened?,

This review is from: Coupling: The Complete Third Season (DVD)
I started watching Coupling during Season 2, the last episode of which I felt was the funniest episode of any television show that I had ever seen. So, I went out and bought season one to watch and at first it took me a bit to get into it as it has a different feel from 2, more sexualized, less goofy.Now that I've bought and seen season 3, I'm stunned. I suppose they couldn't keep it up forever, but this season is neither sexual nor goofy it's just kinda boring. It centers around Patrick and Sally which seems a good idea. In my opinion, they were more interesting than Susan and Steve. However, they don't act as they used to, no longer is Patrick the chauvanist he was now he's Sally knight in shiny armor. And since when have they been hanging out as friends? As I remember Sally couldn't stand to have a conversation with him because of his political views and only wanted sex. The two have become the most boring couple imaginable. They alone, however, are not the downfall of the series. Worse, by far, is Steve. In every episode it seems he has to have a rant. These used to be hilarious as in the Lesbian Spank Inferno fiasco, but now they are without purpose. He just has to say them because it's been decided they're his quirky character trait. Even if you ignore the fact that there is no reason for them, they aren't once funny; I feel like pressing the mute button. To be sure there are a few good gags, such as Patrick not noticing that ugly women even exist and I'll even go so far as to say the spilt screen episode is structurally ingenious, but ultimately this season is only worth paying for to complete a collection.

Well Made DVD of Great Series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coupling: The Complete Third Season (DVD)
This DVD, the last Coupling DVD that will feature Jeff, who left the show after the third season, is outright hilarious! Farce at its best. But while the situations are as funny as ever, the plots get deeper and more meaningful in this season than some of the earlier ones.It should also be clarified that a previous reviewer's comment about poor sound on the DVD is not accurate. The first episode, Split, features split screen with Steve's story on the left and Susan's on the right. The stereo sound is split accordingly with Susan's voice primarily coming from the right speaker and Steve's coming primarily from the left. I suspect that the previous reviewer is either watching a mono TV which is dropping the right channel rather than mixing them, or his or her right speaker or stereo separation is defective. The sound works perfectly on my set. This is an amazing program, extremely well written and acted, outrageously funny. I highly recommend it!

If only American Tele was as good as this...,
By Richard Mahone (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coupling: The Complete Third Season (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!
