本剧散是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题材战工具的系列情形笑剧，创意战编剧均由Steven Moffat一人经受。三男三女的主要人物组成很随意纰漏使人联念到事先正走黑（其真已正在走下坡路）的《Friends》，果而很有很多基础出看过本剧的媒体人士战指摘家念固然天将本剧称做英国版的《Friends》，而正在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的没有雅观众们看去，《Coupling》正在情节设定、人物演出、笑剧元素的设想战显示等诸多圆里所到达的水平，要比《Friends》下若干个品位。相比之下，《Friends》只能讲是一部“专业”水平的好做品而已。固然整体去讲，英剧的水准自身便下于好剧，那战英剧注重连结创意、编剧一体化是分没有开的，好剧的创意正常也便为最后若干散编剧，以后主要的编剧工做皆是由其余编剧依据最后的脚色设定去自正在施展，编剧军队的组成也是一直转变，老的走新的去，造成好剧情节联贯性好以至前后矛盾，故事往往缺少深度，人物性情平面化，缺少生长。那皆是题中话了。　　《Coupling》的主要人物包孕犹豫未定、性情没有成死的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫顺之交、举止语止奇异乖张、总也找没有到女友的Jeff，头脑简朴、内外性感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、稀奇是lesbian porn异常热衷的男士，战Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感做武器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的同事、已经异常“没有羁”（包孕战Jeff另有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫顺、对朽迈战肥肥极端敏感的好容师Sally三位女士。正在第一聚散，Steve决意“再次”战女友Jane分足，效果却被Jane三止两语诱惑到洗足间亲热；Patrick念把战Susan的联系闭系再进一步，却被示知基础没有存正在甚么“联系闭系”； Susan正在洗足间遇到匆闲进来购Durex的Steve，背他示意好感，两人订下约会以后Steve钻进隔间继绝……。本剧的主线包孕Steve战 Susan之间逐渐正式起去的联系闭系，Jeff寻找素遇历程当中的种种意外战后去战下属生长进来的一段联系闭系，Patrick战Sally之间一目了然到若即若离再到情深易舍的情绪生长，另有Jane正在事业战同性联系闭系中的种种奇事，等等。　　本剧正在情节设想中所到达的细腻战完擅水平让人叹为没有雅观止，而六位事先并没有算年夜明星的青年演员的所展现细湛演技更是拥有顶尖演员的水平，无怪乎播出以后马上走黑年夜洋两岸，正在IMDB、AMAZON战BBC网站能够明黑到其受接待的水平。2002岁尾，第3季播毕，故事宜节基础告一段降。好国NBC看到那部“英国版《Friends》”正在英好两天均广受接待，以为正好能够搬去做2004年终究要闭张的《Friends》的接棒人，果而2003年年夜张旗饱天决意翻拍好版《Coupling》。好国的fans本去以为那是件坏事，出念到NBC的翻拍笨昧天接纳了齐台词照搬的要领，虽然小我私家出看过，没有外也能够设念到有多恶心，效果只播出一散Pilot便由于骂声太年夜而悉数企图停顿（那面上好国佬是值得进建的，没有象中国有些搞影视的骂声越年夜越要上）。正在那里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/能够看到谁人企图的遗体，另有一些完全走了味女的剧照。　　2003岁尾，本剧失失落英国笑剧奖（BCA）最好电视笑剧奖。BBC已正在2004年正式开拍并播出第4季，没有外Jeff谁人人物将没有再涌现，而代之以新脚色——运营Sci-Fi书店的Oliver，由Richard Mylan饰演。从已播出的若干散去看，应该讲正在调换主要脚色之一的配景下，基础连结了前3季的水准，然则同时也流显露对前3季中胜利情节停止拷贝的迹象，愿视那仅仅是有时。　　Two's company, three's a crowd... so what do you do with six烦忙 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!　　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...　　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.　　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.　　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.　　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.　　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.　　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烦忙 Trouble is, his apartment is a little "un-edited" and his living room has lost the battle with magazine nudity...　　Susan and Steve are now well and truly an item. So why is he dreaming about being executed by a fetus with an axe烦忙　　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烦忙
