This Australian comedy series may be called Colin from Accounts, but it is not about a) a man named Colin, or b) someone who works in accounts.

Thank goodness, because that doesn’t sound like the most riveting premise for a TV programme – no offence to anyone named Colin, or anyone working in accounts.

Rather, Colin from Accounts is a “satisfying romantic comedy”, telling the chaotic and amusing story of two single strangers brought together by an accident, as per Mashable.

“First of all, you’ve got the signature acerbic Australian wit. Then you’ve got some serious will-they-won’t-they tension. You’ve got a couple of exes thrown in for good measure, just to add to the suspense. Plus, you’ve got an adorable dog that the characters can’t help but love.”

The show is created and written by husband-and-wife team Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, who both star as the show’s main protagonists, Gordon and Ashley.

Sounds like a riot. Here’s the trailer:

Because Ashley and Gordon are actually together in reality, their chemistry is incredibly fun to watch, not to mention how the show “avoids saccharine lovey-dovey cringe dialogue” and “doesn’t rove into corny territory”, as many rom-coms tend to, rather displaying an honest, messy and complicated love story, as they so often are in real life.

Colin from Accounts is streaming on BBC iPlayer in the UK and on Binge in Australia. VPN time.
