As a admitted fan of "Seinfeld" and (sometimes) "Sex and the City," I was a little apprehensive about this series when I first saw it on my local PBS station. I initially felt that this was a bootleg attempt at what many times we as an American audience have borne witness to . . . a trans-Atlantic version of a successful sitcom from the home country.But over a period of watching the show, I was pleased with the wittiness of the dialogue and the chemsitry between the characters. So yes, this may borrow some elements from successful American shows (like the ones I mentioned above), but it has a uniqueness all its own.P.S. I read that they will attempt to make an American version of "Coupling" in 2003. My advice: leave it alone!
