冤家成双对第三季剧情简介
本剧集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜(🏴)剧，创意(yì )和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担当。三(sān )男(nán )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》，因此很有不少根本没看过本剧(jù )的媒体人(㊗)士和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣(xīn )赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人(rén )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(📸)之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平(🔥)的好作品而已。当然(🔲)总体来说，英剧的(de )水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧(🌲)的创意一(yī )般也就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧(jù )根据(jù )最初的角色设定来自由发挥(🔮)，编剧队伍的构成(chéng )也是不断变化，老的走新的来，造(🖥)成美剧情节连贯性(xìng )差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺(❗)乏深(shēn )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(yōu )柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫(👶)逆(🍩)之交、举止语言(yán )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非常热中的(🐺)男士，以及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”（包括和Jeff还(hái )有Patrick）过的(🤥)Susan，Susan的(de )莫逆(🏐)、对衰老和肥胖极(🌚)度(dù )敏感的美容师Sally三位女士。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Susan的关系再(📠)进一步，却(què )被告知根本不存在什么“关系”； Susan在洗手(🥪)间碰(🤱)到匆忙出来买Durex的Steve，向(xiàng )他表示好感(gǎn )，两人订下约会(🖱)以(yǐ )后(hòu )Steve钻(zuàn )进隔间继续……(😄)。本剧(jù )的主线包括(❎)Steve和 Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来(⏺)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 )情深难舍的感情(qíng )发展，还有Jane在事(shì )业和异性关系(🎣)中的各种奇事，等等。
本剧在(👑)情节设计中所达到的精致和完美(měi )程度让人叹为观(🌺)止，而六位当时并(bìng )不算大明星的(de )青年演员(yuán )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(yáng )两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站(🛳)可以领略到其受欢迎的程度。2002年底，第3季播毕，故事情节基本告一段落。美国(🏁)NBC看到这(🎾)部“英国版(🐆)《Friends》”在英美两地均广受欢(😳)迎，觉得正好可以搬来做2004年终于要关张的《Friends》的接班人，于是2003年大(🎼)张旗鼓地决定翻拍美版《Coupling》。美(🐽)国的fans本来以(🏽)为(wéi )这是件好(hǎo )事，没(🐄)想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地采用了全台词照搬的方法，虽然个人没看过，不过也可以想象到有多恶心，结果只播出一集(jí )Pilot就因为骂声太(tài )大(dà )而整个计划搁浅（这点上美(měi )国佬是值得学习的(de )，不象中国有些搞影(yǐng )视的骂声越大越要上）。在这里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/可以看到这个计划的尸体，还有一些彻底走了味儿的剧照。
2003年底，本剧获得英国喜剧奖（BCA）最佳电视(shì )喜剧奖。BBC已经在2004年正(zhèng )式开拍并播出第4季，不过Jeff这个(🥗)人物将不再出现，而代之以新角(🐂)色——经营Sci-Fi书店的Oliver，由Richard Mylan扮演。从已经播出的(😥)几集来(➗)看，应该(🥈)说在更换主要角(jiǎo )色之一的(de )背景下，基(jī )本保持了前3季的水准，但是(😌)同时也流露出对前3季中成功情节进行拷(kǎo )贝的迹(jì )象，希望这仅仅是(shì )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?
