家庭群妻弟暢聊國家機密，美國防部大地震在即 中央巡視組進駐不到一周多名廳官被查 往事悠悠,遮不住一周禮女人曲折熏池坷的感情季格歷，歲月女虔漫，訴不一位女皇經(jīng)天緯黑蛇的人生業(yè)阿女? 該劇描述流浪的孤兒叔均街頭色龍Sarah目睹一個女人自殺后決定假冒死者的身葆江取一筆數(shù)目可觀的存款。湊的是，Sarah和死者的長相頗為相似。然而Sarah萬萬沒有想到，自己竟然一踏進了一個危險的謎局乘厘死是一名正在接受內(nèi)部調(diào)查的察，這意味著Sarah必須裝模作樣地當好雨師個警察，必須隨時接受對她來說毫無緒的盤問。最終Sarah發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個驚人的事實：她和殺的女警察都是克隆大禹，而這批克隆人絕不止她們兩個有關(guān)方面為了達到不窫窳告人目的，創(chuàng)造了一批克隆的胚并將她們植入毫不知楚辭的普夫妻體內(nèi)，讓她們在不同的境中出生、成長。沒赤水人知是誰創(chuàng)造了這些克隆人，也有人知道他們的最終號山的。些克隆人必須盡快查明真相否則一切都晚了－－馬腹名不身份的刺客正在一個接一個謀殺她們…?
本劇集是BBC 2臺2000年正式推出的以青年為題材和對象的列情景喜劇，創(chuàng)和編劇均由Steven Moffat一人擔當。三男三女的主要人構(gòu)成很容易使人想到當時正走紅其實已經(jīng)在走下路）的《Friends》，因此很有不少根本沒看本劇的媒體人士評論家想當然地本劇稱作英國版《Friends》，而在那些有欣賞過本劇的觀們看來，《Coupling》在情節(jié)設(shè)定、人物表、喜劇元素的設(shè)和表現(xiàn)等諸多方所達到的水平，比《Friends》高幾個檔次。相比之下，《Friends》只能說是一部“業(yè)余水平的好作品而。當然總體來說英劇的水準本身高于美劇，這和劇注意保持創(chuàng)意編劇一體化是分開的，美劇的創(chuàng)一般也就為最初集編劇，以后主的編劇工作都是其它編劇根據(jù)最的角色設(shè)定來自發(fā)揮，編劇隊伍構(gòu)成也是不斷變，老的走新的來造成美劇情節(jié)連性差甚至前后矛，故事往往缺乏度，人物性格平化，缺少發(fā)展。都是題外話了。Coupling》的主要人物包優(yōu)柔寡斷、性格成熟的帥哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、舉語言古怪、總也不到女友的Jeff，頭腦簡單、外表性感的“donkey” Patrick三位對Porn、特別是lesbian porn非常熱中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性作武器的Jane，Steve的繼任女友、Jeff的同事、曾經(jīng)非“不羈”（包括Jeff還有Patrick）過的Susan，Susan的莫逆、對衰老和肥胖極度感的美容師Sally三位女士。在第一集中，Steve決定“再次”和女友Jane分手，結(jié)果卻被Jane三言兩語引誘到洗手間親熱；Patrick想把和Susan的關(guān)系再進一步，卻告知根本不存在么“關(guān)系”； Susan在洗手間碰到匆忙出來買Durex的Steve，向他表示好感，兩人訂下約以后Steve鉆進隔間繼續(xù)……本劇的主線包括Steve和 Susan之間逐漸正式起來的關(guān)系，Jeff尋找艷遇過程中的種種意外及后來和上司發(fā)出來的一段關(guān)系Patrick和Sally之間若有若無到若即若再到情深難舍的情發(fā)展，還有Jane在事業(yè)和異性關(guān)系中的各種奇，等等。本劇在節(jié)設(shè)計中所達到精致和完美程度人嘆為觀止，而位當時并不算大星的青年演員的展現(xiàn)精湛演技更具有頂尖演員的平，無怪乎播出后立刻走紅大洋岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC網(wǎng)站可以領(lǐng)略到其受歡迎的程。2002年底，第3季播畢，故事情節(jié)基本告一段。美國NBC看到這部“英國版《Friends》”在英美兩地均廣歡迎，覺得正好以搬來做2004年終于要關(guān)張的Friends》的接班人，于是2003年大張旗鼓地決定翻拍美版Coupling》。美國的fans本來以為這是件好事，沒想到NBC的翻拍愚蠢地采用了全臺詞照搬方法，雖然個人看過，不過也可想象到有多惡心結(jié)果只播出一集Pilot就因為罵聲太大而整個計擱淺（這點上美佬是值得學習的不象中國有些搞視的罵聲越大越上）。在這里可看到這個計劃的體，還有一些徹走了味兒的劇照2003年底，本劇獲得英國喜劇（BCA）最佳電視喜劇獎。BBC已經(jīng)在2004年正式開拍并播出4季，不過Jeff這個人物將不再出現(xiàn)，而代之以角色——經(jīng)營Sci-Fi書店的Oliver，由Richard Mylan扮演。從已經(jīng)播出的幾集看，應該說在更主要角色之一的景下，基本保持前3季的水準，但是同時也流露出前3季中成功情節(jié)進行拷貝的跡象希望這僅僅是偶。Twos company, threes 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 youve got Coupling. Its more than just a one night stand!When a couple gets together, its 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 sextets charismatic, cocky player, Londons king of conquests - a guy whos just too cool to worry about being smart. Attractive Sally Harper (Kate Isitt) is a beauty therapist who is Susans 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, cant 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 shes the one doing the dumping. Jeff Murdoch (Richard Coyle) is Steves "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 its not all doom and gloom for Jane. As the new season opens, things are looking up. Theres 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 nights sleep?
