Are the characters in the British version as unlikable as the American version? I found it unwatchable.

The British cast is likeable, have good chemistry and somehow the script works. There's something about American producers taking a good idea and putting it into the hands of actors who aren't likeable, have no chemistry and make it as boring as hell. Coupling would have done better if they had toned it down and not used the original source material. When you adapt a foreign show, its NOT necessary to repeat the original material word for word. It shows not only a lack of creativity but also a contempt for the intelligence of your viewing audience.
