I saw many positive reviews for Colin From Accounts but it took me far too long to get around to watching this charming and funny show. I loved Brammall in Moody Christmas and he's perfect as a slightly jaded Generation X single who opens his heart to a special needs dog and younger medical student, beautifully played by Dyer. I'm a bit biased because I live in the inner west neighbourhood where the series is filmed. CFA finds humour in intergenerational differences and the gentrified hipster culture of the inner west (people here WOULD call their kid Berlin). I don't normally laugh at poo jokes, but CFA had me in stitches during the first episode, a flying poo scene. It's ultimately a delightful show about the sweet chaos of falling for someone unexpected. I feel like I know these people.

I was stuck at home after surgery and this show was on TV. It depicts the most vacuous, brainless, consumerist bunch of wastrels I have ever seen. I lasted one episode (S2) before I gave up. It covered such riveting topics as: getting an overpriced present for giving birth, drinking champagne and talking about nothing, boob jobs, and shopping. These women have no life's purpose other than to buy expensive stuff. They are not intelligent or charismatic enough to be entertaining. The show is an insult to hard working Aussies doing it tough during a cost of living crisis and should be euthanised. I feel sorry for their kids because they will pass their shallowness on to the next generation.
