UK was superior

The US version made me ill. First of all, the originals had incredible writing. Second, the UK actors were mostly theatrically trained and their timing was perfect. Look at some of the scene comparisons on youtube and you will see that the US version was horrible. Problem with the US is that we have run out of original ideas and it's hard to stretch the few good shows we have out over a week of viewing on all the channels we have.

I'm from the US and I did NOT like the US remake of COUPLING. I still prefer the original UK version. They are better with their timing, and they deliver the character! To take something and remake it, not to mention, butcher it...is a total no-no! I'm glad the US version did not last. It's time to find something original.
