1) 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 déjà-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

2) Description
Known as the British "Friends", Coupling is a sexy, hip new comedy that gives you an insight into how the opposite sex ticks. Bold, hilarious and provocative, Coupling features six friends - involved, formerly involved, or looking to become more intimately involved with each other - who get down to the basics of love, lust and relationships. They find themselves in bizarre and compromising scenarios, revealing their deepest secrets, confusing the clearest issues and generally making their way through relationships. Seinfeld and Friends, meet Sex and the City!

This show is one of the FUNNIEST comedy series out there. I'd have to compare this to Friends and Seinfeld, but with a more ROFL moments.RUN, do not walk, to buy this show. You will not regret it.

3) Coupling   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Coupling is far better the "Friends" the comparison is not even close. As with many US sitcom Friends is a copy of Coupling. The Office is another example (UK version MUCH Better). This BBC series will have you rolling on the flooring laughing for hours on end.

4) The very best....   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
You will love this series. Very funny and irreverent..highly recommended!

5) Naughty, naughty   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is one of the funniest sitcoms ever produced. It has a great sense of humour, british style, and although it is adult oriented it does not become vulgar. Clever and funny you will really enjoy it. Similar to friends but very british about it. Buy it.
