Colin from Accounts

One of the best and brightest comedies I've seen in years. The characters are flawed yet sweet and the writing is as sharp as anything. Patrick Brammall is wonderful as Gordon; I see a lot of Gervais in his delivery. Harriet Dyer is quick and funny as Ashley and her timing is just perfect.

There's always crazy mother in these shows and Helen Thomson is the perfect, sleazy, narcissistic, well to do mother to Ashley with a creepy father in law, played wonderfully by Darren Gilshenan.

I so enjoyed this show and just hope there's a second series I can binge.

'A sip from the furry cup' is my new favourite line.

Must say that I'm pleasantly surprised by this well written Australian comedy. No it's not at the "all time favourite" level like Friends or Seinfeld, but it is witty, it's sweet, it's laugh out loud and it has heart.

The writing is clever and very "now" (borrowed from episode 3:"it's now"). The acting is great, including most of the support actors. Two lead characters have good chemistry, which is absolutely essential in such series.

If you like romantic comedy, looking for some "comfort tv", something light and fun, I definitely recommend this little hidden gem. I think I was the first viewer who gave it a rating on IMDB. Come on. This series is too good to be this "hidden".

Just watch it. The name of it is deceiving really. I thought it was like an office kind of thing. It's not. It's laugh out loud funny. It's brilliantly written. Loved every single second if it.

Watched it on my own then watched it all again in one go with 4 friends.

Whoever directed it was genius. So many small funny things especially noticeable in watch 2.

Brilliant. Sharing this with the world.

The characters are excellent. The small funny things made us belly laugh.

The mom... well she is just excellent.

This show does not need a season 2. It's perfect.

Thanks for making this. This is the best Australian show I have ever seen.

Nice one.

Thought this was gonna be a dull office thing trying to be funny. I was far off and never happier to be wrong.

Casting was perfect. Comedy timing spot on, but also very real and touching.

Really hoping for a second series. Want to see Berlin cry. Ha ha. Very happy to have taken time to watch this little gem. It proves that Australians can do comedy and do it well.

Even my hubby enjoyed it. Plenty belly laughs and a lot of cringe moments.

Support cast were also perfect and made the thing work as a whole.

If your looking for a binge show then this is definitely for you. And let's not forget Colin the hero.

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.
