Advantages: Some funny scenes Disadvantages: Some scenes dragged on for too long without producing the laughs
...TV, I really enjoyed the coupling expierience. Somehow, I managed to miss the fourth series and decided that I couldn't miss out on it altogther. I ordered it off Amazon a few months ago for around £7 which was a good price for a relatively new DVD.
The DVD contains 6 episodes. They are: "9 1/2 minutes", "Nighlines", "Bed time", "Circle of Edidurals", "The naked living room", "and " 9 1/2 months."
The episodes essentially centre around Susan (Sarah ... ...in their own unique style. Coupling has been likened to friends by many and I agree although I feel that it is a bit more fast-paced on the whole.
Steven Moffat was rumoured to be considering not making this fourth series but decided to push ahead with it anyway. It seems that he has lost that spark that made the other series so brilliant. Whereas in previous series, you were moving on from one side-splitting joke to another, this is not quite up ...

Advantages: Who doesn't want to see more Coupling? Disadvantages: Geoff free and a program winding down.
Coupling has been billed as the British equivalent to Friends, but that by no means does the program justice. True, it's about 3 guys and 3 girls, and deals with their relationship successes and failures, butit's far funnier and more insightful than it's american cousin.
I feely admit that I loved the first 3 series of Coupling and was very excited about the fourth when it came out. I was disappointed to discover that the character Geoff, was pretty ... ...laughs even though not present) which made some of the surrealler comedy far more clumsy. Oliver, the replacement, is a good character, but I found him less likeable, and hence cared less.
The writing at times was at it's brilliant best. The very first episode "9 1/2 minutes", shows the same period from 3 different perspectives, and all intricately interwoven. It's this kind of storytelling that made the earlier couplings so popular. Similarly, ...

Advantages: Another funny season Disadvantages: Kinda clumsy with introducing the new character
...guys and 3 girls like Coupling does, you'd have to replace Jeff with another guy. That's just math. And after watching the series, try to watch the older ones again. Oliver doesn't act like Jeff at all if you are really watching. How they introduced him was a little clumsy (considering that the action that played Jeff just up and left), but i think it all worked out in the end. I quite like Oliver now. In short, give it a chance and have no expectations. ...
