Watching: Coupling

Finished up the final season off of Netflix Instant Streaming. I really liked this series. It's essentially Friends, but without the overhead of having to fill twenty-two episode a season so things move a bit faster.

The writers are also more interested with the actual "being together" part of the story than the "will they won't they" part. That made a big difference as they could cut out all the back and forth episodes that spend time pretending a viewer can't tell from the start where all this is headed. I've always been skeptical of that argument that getting characters together is the most interesting part and that they get "boring" afterwards. If the writers have any talent at all, they should be able to make any situation interesting. Coupling pretty much proves me right.
