Coupling - The Complete Seasons 1-4

Summary: Best show on tv! SO much better than Friends
Review: Don't even compare the BBC original series to the short-lived American remake. Coupling is side-splittingly funny with dead-on observations of the daily interaction between men and women leading to absurdities you'd never imagine. If you've never seen the show, or know anyone who's missed it, Get This DVD!

Summary: The Brits know best
Review: I have to say, after having seen almost every episode of the North American counterpart 'Friends' and then witnessing 'Coupling' seasons 1 through 3, I am flabbergasted. The Brits are spot on with every joke. Every delivery is perfection. The characters are fantastically constructed and each episode is a delight to watch, My personal favourite character is Jeff Murdock, played by Richard Coyle, and I was devastated to learn that Coyle decided to leave the show after the 3rd series. He was a phenomenally funny guy on the show and really brought a great deal of unpolished charm to the cast. The other characters (Steve, Patrick, Sally, Susan and Jane) are all hilarious, though, so the show shou;dn't miss a beat in Coyle's absence. This is a dvd set worth owning, as you can watch the episodes countless times. I spent a good chunk of my holiday watching them and I don't regret it for a second. Definitely pick this up for yourself or a friend.

Summary: Four seasons of fun and laughs.
Review: NBC found out very quickly that you can't recreate that which was put together so well. The original British sitcom "Coupling", itself an attempt to reinvent "Friends", introduces us to Steve and Susan. They're just starting to date. Along the way, we find that their friends have been somewhat more than that on occasion.

There's Patrick, the womanizer, he's been with Sally and Susan.
There's Sally, the insecure one, she's been with Patrick and worries too much about growing old.
There's Jeff, who's been with every woman... in his mind. In the real world, he's slightly less successful.
Then there's Jane, she thinks she's everything that she wants to be. She's been with Steve and had one particularly memorable moment with Susan.

The show suffered a bit in the final season with the loss of Richard Coyle. Jeff was more than just the wacky friend, he gave the show some of it's greatest moments. Also, the producers focused too much on fantasy sequences to mirror the episode events.

One of the amazing things about this show, especially in the early seasons, was how well they could tell a story from various perspectives and have it all mesh together. Blending phone calls from the perspective of both callers. Using split screen. And was there really a third woman standing there?

Overall, a very fun show. Well worth your time.

Summary: British Comedy at is best
Review: This show is fabulous. I stumbled upon this series when Series 1 was released on DVD and I pre-ordered every successive season as soon as I can. This show is filled with humor that any adult can appreciate without being chocked full of fart jokes. There was an attempt at an American remake for network television but it pailed in comparision to the gem the BBC put together. The cast is tremendous and the writing is even better. I am disappointed that the show ended after only 4 seasons because I could really use some more ...
