Amazon.com This witty, instantly addictive British series could also be called Chaps or Squelchy in the City. Coupling charts the tangled sex lives of a close-knit group comprising "exes and best friends": womanizer Jack, hapless nice guy Steve, "strange and disturbing" Jeff, uninhibited Susan, neurotic Sally, and manipulative Jane. Coupling may inspire feelings of deja-view. The obvious frame of reference is Friends (Steve and Susan are the Ross-Rachel equivalent), but this series also echoes Seinfeld in its coinage of catch-phrases (although it's doubtful that "the boyfriend zone" will replace "master of your domain") and plotlines (in episode one, Steve tries to dump Jane, who refuses to accept). But Coupling has its own fresh and provocative takes on relationships. At one point, a furious Susan discovers that Patrick not only had a videotape of the former couple having sex, but that he also taped over her. An American remake is reportedly in the works. Didn't the Fawlty Towers knockoffs, Amanda's and Payne, teach us anything? --Donald Liebenson

The best of BBC September 28, 2008 This is one of the best comedy series released by BBC along with "my family" and the all time classic "fawlty towers". The characters are well developped, the acting is really good and the script is very witty. I have to say that for a comedy it doesn't get much better than this. I just bought the box of the whole series, my wife loves it as well.
One of the BEST shows ever made for T.V. August 12, 2008 One of the best TV shows ever made. Not so much as the jokes, but how they lay it out. I have seen Season 1-4.
One of the best shows for adults out there. June 9, 2008 You will laugh so hard you might tinkle a little. The best show out there for adults. You will want to watch these episodes over and over again.
Best Brit Com Ever April 3, 2008 For mature audiences. Fun. Clever. Contemporary. Best Brit Com my wife and I have ever seen. And we've seen most of them over the past 25-years. Best value - the four DVD set. You will watch them over and over again.
I Have Been Turned... April 3, 2008 I am an American: used to American sitcoms that hold back on the sexual innuendos, that make light of twentysomethings and thirtysomethings having sex, and try to turn adult comedy into family friendly comedy to fit a certain timeslot.
I must also state that I am an avid Jack Davenport fan. (And, if you are, please do not miss this show)
I was immediately amazed at the bluntness and raunchiness of this show. Nothing is alluded to or glazed over. The sex jokes are sex jokes; the sex situations are sex situations, and get this, all the adults act like adults. It was funny to me that someone ewould compare this to Friends.
I think that the show does everything that Friends didn't: make single adult life in the city soemthing people can relate to. I cant say enough hjow un watered down this show really is.
The only gripe I have is the acting. At times i's a little blotchy, and a little campy. But, with the comedic situations (like the "giggaloop", or the "lesbian spanking inferno") you forgive the actors for their shortcomings!
The series, which I have only watched the First Season, is a delight. It's a fresh break from the ho-hum dryness of American sitcoms, and it has sparked my interest into more British sitcoms.
Echoing many of the reviews already written, this is a witty, fresh, entertaining show that sitcoms lovers can really get into bed with" (pun intended)
