Editorial Reviews
Everyone seems to have a one-track mind in the six first-season episodes of Coupling, the clever and overtly sex-obsessed BBC sitcom. The show's simple premise has six 30-somethings -- three guys and three girls -- spending most of their time hanging out together, which gives Coupling an obvious similarity to the long-running Friends, albeit with a more libidinous slant. The series' sexual themes are universal, but the details are often quite British, as in "The Cupboard of Patrick's Love," wherein the three male leads fantasize about the frequent screen nudity of the likes of Helen Mirren, Jenny Agutter, and Britt Ekland. British TV prides itself on the prominence of the writer-auteur, in this case Stephan Moffat, who pens all the episodes and receives top billing. And Moffat clearly succeeds in conjuring conversations about sex that ring true, as in "Inferno," which includes a quaint dinner-table discussion about the merits of porn versus erotica. But the most ingenious bits in Coupling revolve around simple phrases like "giggle loop," "sock gap," and "nudity buffer," the definition and discussion of which create an atmosphere more reminiscent of Seinfeld than of Friends. Ultimately, although the subject of sex is ever-present in Coupling, the shows aren't particularly sexy and don't really try to be. Comedy, not conjugation, is Coupling's game, and it plays it to the hilt. Gregory Baird, Barnes & Noble
