Colin from Accounts

Colin from Accounts is a charming Aussie comedy created and featuring real-life couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammel as Ashley and Gordon.

Brought together by an injured dog, Ash and Gordon navigate the messiness of work, friendship and dating despite different lives and an age gap.

Dyer and Brammel have created characters with nuanced personalities. The awkwardness and attraction the characters experience is palpable and relateable, and the humour woven throughout.

The characters and suburban setting feels universal while recognisably Australian.

Eight episodes feels way too short and leaves the viewer expecting more and a little disappointed with the end point. Season two seems inevitable - we all need to see Berlin cry.

I enjoyed this show it is funny , and quirky .

I enjoy the characters and the dog .

Two people with good hearts brought together by a furry friend .

One is older but will the age gap matter? Maybe but they will work it out .

The dog maybe the real star , definitely a Center piece bring the two protagonists together .

It's light , cheerful , well written and funny .

I think anyone who needs a laugh and something light and romantic this is definitely worth the watch .

Flashing a nipple leads to love , and an expensive trip to the vet .

The small things we do lead to bigger things we must face in life .

Brilliant and relatable.

Laugh out loud and awkward at times which makes it even funnier.

Colin steals every scene that he's in as well as Brett the Kiwi Barmen. Brett adds a bookend to Gordons manic outbursts.

A refreshing comedy that gives a great insight to modern day dating.

Great mix of characters of situations that don't need to be explained to be funny.

Unlike American comedy's that need laugh tracks to remind the audience when it's time to laugh, this one lets the comedy do all the work.

Subtle use of expletives is also subtle and timed to perfection.

There is a mother / daughter dynamic that everyone can either relate to or know of. Helen Thomson as mum, Lynelle, needs special mention as she also steals all of her scenes.

Now that I think of it, everyone seems to steal their scenes.

Can't wait for for the next episode!

What started off as a fun, pleasant watch quickly became a highlight in a year of fantastic tv.

Dyer and Brammall have wonderful chemistry (which may or may not be obvious), perfect timing but also both deliver on the emotional heart of the show which elevates it to something great. The rest of the cast are all hilarious, delightful in their quirks and help balance things from ever getting too heavy. Notably, the relationship between mother and daughter is superbly cynical.

The writing is sharp and plays between clever, crude and painfully awkward humour. It never misses and is regularly laugh out loud funny. The story is refreshing and relatable.

Here's hoping this isn't the last of Colin.

I thought it would be a Office spinoff. Pleasantly surprised to find it's a romantic comedy. Real life comedy, not the canned laughter type. All the characters are brilliant, from Berlin to the bar staff, Ashley's friends to her mum. The main characters develop well. They are very believable, and act superbly.

The writing is top notch, up there with Rake and other great Australian programmes. And that's coming from a kiwi.

I think people will see a little of themselves in the characters.

Please tell me there will be a second series, we binged watched this and need to see what happens to Ashley and Flash.
