Coupling

By the time the boundaries shifted with Friends and Sex and the City, Britcoms were going through the same thing, but through their own lens. Coupling is original in that it really only deals with relationships and only in an ironic way. By definition, the main six characters don't have to deal with careers around the age of thirty; all their senses are focused on sex and pairing, nesting, and planning it all. Body language, reading between the lines, and exploring the logic of the opposite sex on the way to the same goal are all important. (08/07/2015)

Season 2 helped the girls become beautiful, the boys go through unprecedented macho problems, and Jane used her breasts to her advantage at work. Now Steve and Susan are about to get married. And holy crap, Sally still hasn't slept with Patrick and Jeff has a girlfriend! Yes, I mean the Jeff who likes to talk about picking up women's parts in a bucket. (05/04/2021)

Season 3 is absolutely brilliant. I adore Jane, everything fits together like a puzzle, the jokes are perfection itself, I often found myself laughing out loud, and Sally and Patrick finally base their relationship on the Spider-Man cartoon theme song. (05/04/2021)

Unfortunately, the final Season 4 dropped Jeff off somewhere unknown and the harmony of quality of the series suffered. Jane had lost her identity, Susan and Steve were pregnant, so the only quality people left were Patrick and Sally. However, their arduous journey to happiness was reward enough for an otherwise pretty broken series that still had so much to offer. (05/04/2021)
