簡介：本剧集是BBC 2台(🥖)2000年正式推(tuī )出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜(🍚)剧，创意(🔊)和编剧均由(📭)Steven Moffat一人担当(🏳)。三男三女的主要人物构(🏍)成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（(🖍)其实已经在走下(❗)坡路）的《Friends》，因此(cǐ )很有不少根本(běn )没看过本剧的(de )媒(👫)体人士和评论家想当然地将本剧称(🙆)作英国版的(de )《Friends》，而(🥇)在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设计和表现等诸多方面(🈹)所达到的水平(🗻)，要比《Friends》高几个(🖼)档次。相比(bǐ )之下，《Friends》只能(📮)说是一部“业(yè )余”水平的好作(zuò )品(🥥)而已。当然总(🥒)(zǒng )体来说，英剧的水准本(🤐)身就高于美剧，这和英(yīng )剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分(🈁)不开的，美剧的创意一(👻)般也就为(🤠)最初几集编剧，以后(😙)主要(🤥)的编剧(jù )工(🦂)作都是由其它编剧根据最初的角色设(🤖)定来(🌋)自由发(😉)挥，编剧队(💞)伍的构成也是不断变化，老的走新的来，造成美剧(🏏)情节连贯性(🍵)差甚至前后矛盾(👽)，故事往往(🔟)缺乏深度，人物性格平(😂)面化，缺少发展。这都是题外话了。 《Coupling》的(🐋)主要(🖐)人物包括(🗳)优柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫(🌜)逆之交、举止语言古怪(🐈)、总也找不到女友的(♿)Jeff，头脑简单、外表性(🌬)感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbian porn非常热(rè )中的男(🍏)士，以(yǐ )及(🖖)Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感(🏷)作武器的(🖼)Jane，Steve的继(🍈)任女友、Jeff的同事、(🏍)曾经非常“不羁”（包括(🥑)(kuò )和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆(🏯)、对衰老和肥胖(🌲)极度敏感的美容师(📧)Sally三位女士(shì )。在第(🥃)一集中，Steve决定“再次”和女友Jane分手，结果却被Jane三言两语(🛬)引诱(🐴)到洗手间(🚦)亲热；Patrick想(🛏)把和(hé )Susan的关系再进一步，却被告知根本不存在什(〽)(shí )么“关系(xì )”； Susan在(🕥)洗(👐)手间(🛒)碰到匆忙出来买Durex的Steve，向他表示好感，两人订下约会以后(🎂)Steve钻进隔间继续……。本剧的主线包括Steve和 Susan之间(🍋)逐渐正式(🌌)起来(lái )的关系，Jeff寻找(🚳)艳遇过(guò )程中的种(🍯)种意外(wà(🛢)i )以及后来和上司发(📻)展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之间若有若无到若即若离再到(dào )情(qíng )深难(nán )舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中的(de )各种奇(qí )事，等等。 本剧在情(qíng )节(🤰)设(shè )计(🥘)中所达到的精致和完美程度让人叹为观止(😞)，而六位(🛐)当时并不算大明星的青年演员的(🧔)所展现精湛演(✖)技更是(📤)具有顶尖演(🅱)员的水平(😢)，无怪乎播出之后立(💿)刻走红大洋两岸，在(🦇)IMDB、AMAZON和(🐟)BBC网站可以领略到其(qí )受欢迎的程度。2002年底，第3季(🍷)播毕，故事情节基(jī )本告(gào )一段落。美国NBC看(🔐)到这部“英国版《Friends》”在英美两地均(jun1 )广受欢(🚾)迎，觉得正(👿)好可以搬来(🧕)做2004年终于要(yào )关张的《Friends》的接班人，于(yú )是2003年(nián )大张旗鼓地(🛀)决定翻拍美版《Coupling》。美国的fans本(běn )来以为这是件好事，没想到NBC的(🤞)翻拍愚蠢地采用了全(quá(🍳)n )台词(💚)照搬的(👈)方法，虽然(rán )个人没看过，不(⏮)过也可以想象到有多恶心，结(✊)果(😸)只播出一集(🍹)Pilot就(🕞)因为骂声太大而整个计(💺)划(huá )搁浅(qiǎn )（这点上美国(💀)佬是值得(🎁)学习(xí(🔭) )的，不象中国有些搞(gǎo )影视的骂(🌃)声越大越要(📓)上）。在这(🚿)里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/可以看(kà(🐟)n )到这个计划(huá )的尸体，还有一些彻底走了(♒)(le )味儿的剧照。 2003年(nián )底，本剧获得英国喜剧奖（BCA）最佳电视喜剧奖。BBC已经在2004年(🍶)正式开拍并播出第4季，不过Jeff这个(🚗)人物将不再出现，而(ér )代之以新(🧡)角色——经(💑)营Sci-Fi书店的Oliver，由Richard Mylan扮演。从已经播出的几集来(lái )看，应该说在更换主要角色之一的背景下，基本(👎)保持了(♋)前3季(jì )的水(⛷)准，但是同时也流露出对前3季中成功(gōng )情节进行拷贝的迹象(🗾)，希望这仅仅是偶然。 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! 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? 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? 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?
