Steven Moffat's second season 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

Customer Reviews of Coupling - The Complete First and Second Season
If Friends and Sex and the City had a baby... If you like Friends and Sex in the City, you'll love Coupling. It's the funniest, smartest, most original comedy I've seen in a long time. My husband and I love to watch it together so it appeals to men and women alike.
The cast is brilliant! The characters and the situations they find themselves in could easily become silly and annoying. However, the excellent actors make their quirky characters both human and endearing. (There was an attempt at an American version and it flopped because of the lousy actors, in my opinion.)
I've watched each episode at least two times and they still crack me up. This is a definite must-have.
One of the most hysterical shows ever!
I am an avid BBC America viewer - this program hooked me the first time I watched it. I made my husband watch it and he was instantly hooked too. It is funny beyond belief! Both men and women can relate to it, and gives you inside glimpses into the minds of the opposite sex.
This isn't Friends...this isn't even the NBC version of Coupling. Even though they used almost the exact same script, the actors and director of the NBC version did not hit the mark even remotely. The British cast and director hit the mark square in the center every time. The characters are likeable, even with their flaws - and it's their flaws that make them hysterical.
One thing - this is not something to watch in front of kids - this is very adult humor.
This is comedy at it's best. You will hurt yourself laughing. We enjoy it so much, we're getting this set to give to friends of ours for Christmas.
Better humor than American could ever do...
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!
