This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

On their first date, the woman flashes her breast (the right one) to her date, her ex, her best friend, his ex and his best friend.Steve Taylor (Jack Davenport) is desperate to break up with the unflushable Jane Christie (Gina Bellman). His best friend is the strange and disturbing Jeff Murdock (Richard Coyle). Jeff works with Susan Walker (Sarah Alexander). Susan breaks up her casual relationship with the womanizing tripod Patrick Maitland (Ben Miles). Her best friend is the bitter, skin-elasticity-obsessed Sally Harper (Kate Isitt).This is Friends with more explicit sex talk and it is hilarious. Jeff is probably the funniest characters. There are some gut busting laughs. The interconnected story telling is used exceptional well. Basically, it has 3 series or 22 good episodes before Richard Coyle didn't return for the fourth series. At its best, this is a hilarious sex romp comedy.

Six Brits, three men and three women are in a kind of circular, sex fueled relationship. Some have slept with each other, some have slept with several of the others. This leads to some very funny and interesting scenarios. This series plays off of the sexual tensions and mores of the single, sexual obsessions and insecurities of both sexes. Women thinking one way about the men and the men thinking not the same way but hoping for a happy ending. Jeff is the odd man out in more ways than one. He is generally a loser with women and he has some very strange ideas about the interactions between men and women, very strange indeed. Jeff is absent for some reason for the last six episodes and I miss his character. He is replaced by a man named Oliver and he is not a good replacement for Jeff. All six actors do admirable jobs in portraying their characters. This is an extremely well written and acted series and I love it.

So sad I only just saw it for the first time now (13 years late). The characters are so real you feel that you are part of the 'family'. I wish I could go to the wine bar to meet them but then I realize it was just a show. I'm ordering the DVD collection so I can keep watching them. The antics and situations they get themselves into is almost like a Brian Rix farce. The show is very clever in changing the plot line around like in the "Girl with Two Breasts" where "Jeff meets and tries to "chat up" an Israeli girl who doesn't speak English. Also where they replay various segments so to see them from different viewpoints very well done. As Jeff would say "brilliant!". If you haven't seen it it's worth the risk to see it . You will be hooked if you like Brit humour or situations for late 20's early 30's types.

this 'Brit Com' gets an easy 10/10 from me.the Brits really know how to make a great sitcom.the writing easily rivals that of any North American show of this genre or any genre.the show is more risqué than many shows we have here,though things have changed in the that regard in the last few years.this is due mainly to the proliferation of specially channels.anyway,back to "Coupling".the writing is superb as are the performances.i would probably say that this show is equal to "Friends" in quality writing and performances,but that is just my opinion.if you have fairly conservative tastes,this show is not for you,as it could be considered offensive or worse.everybody has their own opinions.for me,nothing beats "Coupling" for pure hysterics and misunderstandings.as i said,an easy 10/10 for me
