I absolutely loved every episode of Coupling UK(except for parts of the 4th season where Jeff wasn't in the plot anymore) and read all the negative reviews for the US adaptation. I downloaded all of them and let me tell you that the US version is TERRIBLE. The casting is much worse and the only thing worth laughing at is how horrible the US version is. I still think the UK version is incredible but could only get past two episodes before i deleted all of them. don't even bother. I can't think of one good adaptation of character. Jane is not supposed to be completely ditzy like she is in the American version. Jeff is much deeper in the British version. Even the Israeli girl in "The Woman with Two Breasts" is cast better in the UK version as the one in "A Foreign Affair" in the US version comes off as a slutty girl who speaks so fast you can't even attempt to figure out what she had in mind before the translation comes up. It is clear that they were trying to get from the 30 minute UK episode to the US 22 minute standard. Characters aren't developed at all!!!!
