'Coupling' is awesome and fully justified my netflix this month
I'm sure this is old news to most, but I finally got around to watching it, and I love it!
All four seasons of Coupling are available to stream straight to a pc to any one with a netflix account via their 'watch instantly' service, and the wife and I took advantage of that this past weekend and basically watched the whole run of the show continuously.
It was (and is) the most consistently funny show (a few very minor bobbles in season four due to casting changes excepted) that I've ever watched--my wife agrees, and our tastes don't always coincide, so this is saying something.
I read it accurately described as the sharp writing, comedic timing and clever back-and-forth dialog of Seinfeld added to the relational dynamics of Friends, with the subject matter and frank sexual attitudes that evoke Sex and the City.
I've laughed harder at a few of their setups and plotlines than I have at any other show ever, I think. Their ability to take a single gag or concept and drive a whole laugh packed episode with it is unrivaled, as is their ability to craft unpredictable plots that come together for glorious win in the final moments.
Any other fans?
