Hm. Except for the two on the left, the American actors chosen aren't as cute as the British actors. At least, from this picture. They probably all look actor-great on the actual show.

I can't tell which one is Jeff but none of them look right for him. Jeff's saving grace as an attractive guy's that he's adorable enough looking that you can ignore the things he blurts out. But it's a boyish kind of immature look. None of these guys look like they could pull that off.

Nah, on the actual show, they're still less attractive than the original cast. (I downloaded the pilot at watched it.)

It's a real first, in some ways. US casts are almost always blandly prettier.

The one on the right, with the thick brows and very little chin, that's the one they dare to call Jeff.

I'm rather unhappy about the Jeff.

What?!

That is *so* not Jeff. That's it. The final straw. I am not watching this pseudo-Coupling. (Not that I would have, anyway, but still.)

I think I'll watch the first episode. SJut to satisfy my curiosity. I have BBC America for the rest, turns out.

Oh my god, THAT'S Jeff?!?! I was afraid of that! This is awful. He's not that cute at ALL.
