So after watching I'm Alan Partridge, I was recommended to watch another BBC comedy, Coupling. The best way I can describe it, is that it's the same format as Friends (3 guys, 3 girls and the relationship tomfoolery that goes along with it). Except, it has the humor of something like Arrested Development, where the comedy from a few different jokes comes together and makes something incredibly funny at least once an episode. The first 3 seasons are amazing and the 4th one is pretty good but they replaced one of the characters (the best one, IMO) and replaced him with a pretty weak character. It also has hints of M*A*S*H, where the early episodes are very comedy heavy, while the later episodes have more drama and seriousness.

There are only 28 episodes all together and they're all on Hulu if you wanted to watch them without waiting for a torrent. Overall, it's pretty damn funny and worth watching.
