The British actress, with her recognizable facial expressions, brings as much sparkling humor as she does a poignant sensitivity to her character as Carrie Bradshaw, who is at times as annoying as she is brilliant and relevant. It must be said that the Uncoupled series is a new creation of Darren Star – in collaboration with Geoffrey Richman – to whom we owe Sex & the City, but also Emily in Paris.
It’s more on the side of the first series that Uncoupled’s tone lies, and that’s a good thing. Although it does not avoid some stereotypes and jokes BoomersUncoupled slyly dissects the new codes of modern dating, the suffocating social pressures that weigh down single people, and the frustrations faced by newly single fortysomethings.
The supporting characters are also delicious and the chemistry between each character works perfectly, as does the duo of Neil Patrick Harris and Tisha Campbell who play his best friend and his colleague.
Refreshing and bubbly, Uncoupled is a bittersweet romantic comedy that offers another look at the chaotic love lives of gay men. If you love Sex and the City and Emily in Paris, stylish and tender romantic comedies and Neil Patrick Harris, then Uncoupled is the perfect watch for you.
