冤家成双对第三季剧情简介
本剧(jù )集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题(tí )材和对象的系列情(🍖)景喜剧，创意(yì )和编剧(jù )均由Steven Moffat一(🕔)人(rén )担(dān )当。三男三女的主要人物构(🔲)成很容易使人联想到当时(shí )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(❔)本剧的媒(méi )体人士(shì )和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那(nà )些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设(shè )计和(🌹)表现等诸多方面(miàn )所达到的水(shuǐ )平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比(bǐ )之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余(🖍)”水平的好作品(⏳)而已(yǐ )。当然总体(tǐ )来说，英剧的水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意(yì )保持创意(yì )、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧的创意一(🐌)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根据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(jù )情节连贯性差甚至前后矛盾(📳)，故事(🧔)往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面化，缺少发展。这都是题外话了(😕)。
《Coupling》的主要人物(😎)包括优柔寡(guǎ )断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫逆(nì )之交、(Ⓜ)举止语言古怪、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(qián )女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作武器的Jane，Steve的(de )继(jì )任女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对(☔)衰老和肥胖(👎)极度敏感的美容师Sally三位女士。在(🔔)第(dì )一集中，Steve决定(dìng )“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，却被告(🙊)知根本不存在什么“关系”； Susan在洗手间(🐕)碰到匆(cōng )忙(máng )出来买Durex的Steve，向他表示(🍁)好感，两人订下约会以后Steve钻进隔间(📫)继续……。本剧的主线包(bāo )括Steve和 Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇(✝)过程中的(de )种种(zhǒng )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情深难舍的感情发展(zhǎn )(🌼)，还有Jane在(zài )事业和异性关系中的(🗑)各种奇(🍛)事，等等。
本剧在情节设计中所达到的精致和(hé )完美程度让人叹为观止，而六位当时并不算大明星的青年演员的所展(💛)现精湛演技更(gèng )是(⛴)具有(⛑)顶(dǐng )尖演员(📆)的水平，无(wú )怪乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，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(guó )版《Friends》”在英美两地(dì )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本来以为这是(shì )件好事，没想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地(dì )采用了全台词照搬的方法，虽然个(gè )人没看(kàn )过，不(🦃)过(guò )也(🌕)可以想象到(♊)有多(🏳)恶(💵)心，结果只(🚲)播出一集Pilot就因为骂声太大而整个计划搁浅（这点上美国佬是值得学习的，不象中国有些搞影视的骂声越(🌯)大越要上）。在这里http://www.nbc.com/Coupling/可以看到这个(gè )计划的尸体(tǐ )，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年正式开拍并播出(chū )第(🖨)4季，不过Jeff这个人物将不(bú )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色之一的背景下，基本保持了前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贝的迹象，希望(wàng )这(zhè )仅仅是(🤦)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?
