Coupling is a British television sitcom created by Steven Moffat that originally aired on BBC Two from 2000 to 2004. Often described as Britain's answer to Friends, the series revolves around the romantic and sexual misadventures, neuroses, and miscommunications of six twenty-something and thirty-something friends who regularly hang out at a local pub. The central dynamic of the show explores the differences between men and women in dating, sex, and relationships, highlighted by the on-again, off-again relationship between commitment-phobic Jeff and the neurotic Susan. Alongside them are the emotionally fragile Steve, the innocent and prudish Sally, the man-eater Jane, and the hopelessly naive Patrick, creating a hilarious ensemble that dissects the modern dating world with razor-sharp wit and explicit dialogue.
