Coupling (2000), Season 1 is a six-episode British sitcom you can watch online on iFILM. Written by Steven Moffat, it opens on a perfectly awkward problem: Steve is trying to dump one girlfriend at the exact moment he's falling for another.
The whole setup is six Londoners in their thirties talking, far too honestly, about sex and dating. Steve and Susan are only just starting out, but his ex Jane refuses to take the hint, while neurotic Jeff, blunt Sally and the impossibly smug Patrick turn every trip to the bar into a farce. Six episodes to learn who these people are.
Sharp, talky comedy that earns the Friends comparisons without copying them. Watch Coupling Season 1 online on iFILM.
6 episodes
S1·E1Flushed
Jeff reckons Steve is still in 'The Zone' with Jane: the time after the breakup when there can still be sex, but he wants to date Susan instead. When he has a meal in a restaurant with Jane, Susan walks in.
S1·E2Size Matters
Susan invites Steve for a date at home, and offers to cook. Jeff warns him about 'The Sock Gap', and Patrick alerts him to her collection of remote controls. Somehow everyone's conversation seems to revolve around Patrick's size, and Jeff is asked by several people to accompany him to the toilet to check.
S1·E3Sex, Death & Nudity
Jeff explains to the guys about 'The Giggle Loop': the danger that the more you try to suppress laughter in important silences, the harder you want to laugh. Jane's aunt has died, and she wants Steve to come to the funeral, pretending to be her boyfriend still. Susan invites herself, and so Patrick must come as her 'boyfriend', and all six end up going.
S1·E4Inferno
Steve is plunged into total panic when he suspects that Susan has found one of his porn videos. To fill the embarrassing silence, he tells her he loves her, but Susan is well-aware that he was merely panicking. Susan invites all the friends over for a dinner party. Jane brings her therapist, Jill, who everyone assumes is there as Jane's date. In front of everyone, Susan insists that Steve justify his passion for the offending porn film, Lesbian Spank Inferno.
S1·E5The Girl with Two Breasts
Jeff and co. can't take their eyes of a beautiful stranger in their local bar. And the girl can't take her eyes off Jeff. Jeff goes over to talk to her, only to discover that she doesn't speak a word of English, which to Jeff of course is quite a relief. Her interpreter, Alice, tells Jeff she's Israeli, then whisks her away. The next day the girl is back and Jeff attempts to chat her up. With neither speaking a word of the other's language, it is an utter disaster.
S1·E6The Cupboard of Patrick's Love
Patrick has a cupboard of video tapes of his former girlfriends, not to mention Britt Ekland in The Wicker Man. Jeff is excited, but Steve is appalled, when he realizes that Susan must be amongst them. Susan is also horrified when she realizes this in the company of the other girls. Later on, she arrives at Patrick's, and is outraged at what she finds going on there.
