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".

Perfect casting makes this comedy series a delight, with hilarious awkward situations and the best use of Australian humor. You will cringe and squirm as you relive all the silly moments and painful relationship hardships for our modern times. Most of all, you will find yourself laughing out loud!

Creators, Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, have poured out their hearts and laid all to bear in their true 12-year-age-gap relationship for our pure enjoyment. Bonus being that they also played the leading roles of Gordon and Ashley, allowing more depth to the characters.

Harriet Dyer proves to be an unique comedic actor, with impeccable timing and mannerisms. While Brammall has the somewhat straight role, holding up a mirror to our stressful and unfulfilling lives. It is here that the uncomfortable laughs and nervous giggles creep into the comedy, balancing perfectly with that of the bumbling Ashley and her hectic messy life.

One of the few Australian comedy series' that understands the visual language of comedic storytelling, combining that with the hilarious use of everyday rambling dialogue and banter.

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.
