Six 30-somethings live in Chicago and are either involved, formerly involved or looking to become intimately involved with one another. Susan is a beautiful and sexy go-getter with an uninhibited attitude who used to date Patrick, the cocky, good-looking guy of the group. Sally is Susan's attractive and unspeakably vain best friend and beauty therapist who is desperate for a man and now dates Patrick. Steve wants to date Susan but can't seem to shake his clingy ex-girlfriend, Jane, who is completely in love with Steve and refuses to be dumped by him. Jeff is Steve's "porn buddy," who, unknown to his friends, is terrified of sex or the prospect of it. He works in the same office as Susan and had a forgettable fling with her.
Coupling — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

With its overemphasis on raunchy humor and cast of unlikeable characters, Coupling pales in comparison to its UK counterpart.

"Clever" and "witty" are not terms I would use to describe this show. Go to Full Review James Poniewozik TIME Magazine 01/14/2020
At times you see, as on a disappointing date, the sophisticated adult Coupling could have become. Instead, it sidles up to us in its pleated Dockers, asking lamely, "Do you come here often?" Oh, yes. Once too often. Go to Full Review Alessandra Stanley New York Times 01/14/2020
The American ''Coupling'' is just a pale imitation. American actors were cast, some jokes were rewritten, and the laugh track is far more manic, but there is little evidence of homemade wit, even the jaunty title music is the same. Go to Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal 01/14/2020

Will it play in Peoria? Have you seen all the sex in the ads? Let that be your guide. It's about six friends who fall in and out of love. Hmmm. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
