Rom-coms are supposed to have a sense of inevitability. It’s the journey, not the destination. Shopgirl and NY152 will always get together, even if it takes Kathleen and Joe all of “You’ve Got Mail” to do so. Someone may run through an airport, or race through the streets on New Year’s Eve, or give a rousing and personal speech, and that process is the beauty of the genre.

The winding path to the rain-soaked kiss is the whole joy of the movie “Four Weddings and a Funeral.” But the path of the TV show “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” beginning Wednesday on Hulu, is dreary and predictable. If the audience isn’t having any fun, and the characters don’t seem to be having any fun, what’s the point?

The show, which has almost nothing in common with the film except for a London setting, comes from the creators Mindy Kaling and Matt Warburton , but without any of the clever sparks they brought to “The Mindy Project.” Though it is set in England, the four main characters are American. They are allegedly best friends, but no one has anything in common nor do any of them have any chemistry, platonic or romantic. The inevitable couple seems like a bad match, and no two characters seem like they’re on the same show. Do not go to the chapel; do not get married.

Part of the draw of the film “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” released in 1994, is that it’s about the fun crowd, the viciously funny and raucous group you wish you were sitting with at weddings, rolling your eyes at the stuffy ceremony but later dancing with abandon . I would not want to sit with any of the characters in this adaptation. Everyone is either lousy or boring or both.
