So I just got done watching the first episode of the US version of Coupling. I dunno, the dialogue was pretty close to the original, even the staging was pretty close to identical. But the US actors, just didn't have it. Most of it felt forced. Sally was too prettied up, Jeff didn't have enough that weird borderline creepy guy thing, etc. The whole show just felt like it was slightly off target, and as a result it didn't work that well for me. Oh well, luckily season 2 is coming out on DVD soon.
Oh, my other question. There were something like 25 or 26 episodes of Coupling on BBC. Is this show going to follow that then try and go on and on forever like every other sitcom? Ick.
