简介：<p> 本剧集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为体裁和目标的系列情景喜剧，构思和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担任。三男三女的首要人物构成很简略使人联想到其时正走红（其实现已在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因而很有不少底子没看过本剧的媒体人士和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物扮演、喜剧元素的规划和体现等诸多方面所到达的水平，要比《Friends》高几个层次。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平的好著作罢了。当然整体来说，英剧的水准自身就高于美剧，这和英剧留意坚持构思、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧的构思一般也就为开始几集编剧，今后首要的编剧作业都是由其它编剧依据开始的人物设定来自由发挥，编剧部队的构成也是不断改变，老的走新的来，形成美剧情节连贯性差乃至前后矛盾，故事往往短少深度，人物性情平面化，短少开展。这都是题外话了。<br/> 《Coupling》的首要人物包含优柔寡断、性情不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的生死之交、举动言语乖僻、总也找不到女友的Jeff，脑筋简略、表面性感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbian porn十分热中的男人，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作兵器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的搭档、从前十分“不羁”（包含和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对变老和肥壮极度灵敏的美容师Sally三位女士。在榜首会集，Steve决议“再次”和女友Jane分手，成果却被Jane片言只语诱惑到洗手间亲近；Patrick想把和Susan的联系再进一步，却被奉告底子不存在什么“联系”； Susan在洗手间碰到匆忙出来买Durex的Steve，向他表明好感，两人订下约会今后Steve钻进隔间持续……。本剧的主线包含Steve和 Susan之间逐步正式起来的联系，Jeff寻觅艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来和上司开展出来的一段联系，Patrick和Sally之间若隐若现到敬而远之再到情深难舍的爱情开展，还有Jane在工作和异性联系中的各种奇事，等等。<br/> 本剧在情节规划中所到达的精致和完美程度让人拍案叫绝，而六位其时并不算大明星的青年艺人的所展示精深演技更是具有顶尖艺人的水平，无怪乎播出之后马上走红大洋两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站能够领略到其受欢迎的程度。2002年末，第3季播毕，故事情节根本告一段落。美国NBC看到这部“英国版《Friends》”在英美两地均广受欢迎，觉得正好能够搬来做2004年总算要关张的《Friends》的接班人，所以2003年声势浩大地决议翻拍美版《Coupling》。美国的fans原本认为这是件功德，没想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地采用了全台词照搬的办法，尽管个人没看过，不过也能够幻想到有多厌恶，成果只播出一集Pilot就因为骂声太大而整个方案停滞（这点上美国佬是值得学习的，不象我国有些搞影视的骂声越大越要上）。在这里<a href="https://www.douban.com/link2/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbc.com%2FCoupling%2F&link2key=6ce5181b81" target="_blank">http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/</a>能够看到这个方案的尸身，还有一些完全走了味儿的剧照。<br/> 2003年末，本剧取得英国喜剧奖（BCA）最佳电视喜剧奖。BBC现已在2004年正式开拍并播出第4季，不过Jeff这个人物将不再呈现，而代之以新人物——运营Sci-Fi书店的Oliver，由Richard Mylan扮演。从现已播出的几集来看，应该说在替换首要人物之一的布景下，根本坚持了前3季的水准，可是一起也流露出对前3季中成功情节进行复制的痕迹，期望这仅仅是偶尔。<br/> Two's company, three's a crowd... so what do you do with six? On average, men and women think about sex every six seconds. Shorten that to every second, and you've got Coupling. It's more than just a one night stand!<br/> When a couple gets together, it's never just the two of them - they also bring baggage - and Susan (Sarah Alexander) and Steve (Jack Davenport) are no exception. Their baggage is a crowd of best friends and exes who talk about all aspects of sex and relationships on their never-ending quest to find true love. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...<br/> Susan Walker is a beautiful go-getter with an uninhibited attitude who used to date Patrick Maitland (Ben Miles), the sextet's charismatic, cocky player, London's king of conquests - a guy who's just too cool to worry about being smart. Attractive Sally Harper (Kate Isitt) is a beauty therapist who is Susan's unashamedly vain best friend, who aggressively battles aging with heavy doses of moisturizer and men - including Patrick.<br/> Meanwhile, Steve Taylor, while getting together with Susan, can't seem to shake loose from his vivacious and slightly vacuous ex-girlfriend Jane Christie (Gina Bellman), a woman supremely confident in her ability to seduce anyone of either sex, and who refuses to be dumped unless she's the one doing the dumping. Jeff Murdoch (Richard Coyle) is Steve's "porn buddy" who is, in equal parts, obsessed and bewildered by actual sex; charming in his way, but with an uncanny ability to say the wrong thing at the worst possible time. He works in the same office as Susan, with whom he had a disastrous and unsuccessful one-night fling.<br/> Coupling has been honoured with the prestigious Silver Rose of Montreux, Best TV Comedy Award, and is recent winner at the 2003 British Comedy Awards.<br/> With a new guy on the scene, a baby on the way, commitment in the air, and love on the horizon, the dynamics of the six friends are definitely changing.<br/> At the end of last season Susan and Steve discovered they were pregnant (well, mostly Susan), confirmed bachelor Patrick and Sally finally admitted their true feelings for each other, and poor Jane was left on her own, once again.<br/> But it's not all doom and gloom for Jane. As the new season opens, things are looking up. There's this guy called Oliver, who has his eye on her. Is it possible that lifetime loser in love Oliver might just get somewhere with lifetime loser in love Jane? Trouble is, his apartment is a little "un-edited" and his living room has lost the battle with magazine nudity...<br/> Susan and Steve are now well and truly an item. So why is he dreaming about being executed by a fetus with an axe?<br/> Meanwhile Sally and Patrick are settling into their new relationship. But since the dawn of time, men and women have been falling in love - and men have been trying to get home straight afterwards. Can fallen playboy Patrick ever find his way back from the enchanted glade of his one true love and get a decent night's sleep?</p>…
