Colin From Accounts
The premise is a perfect sitcom engine: Ashley and Gordon, two flawed, funny strangers in Sydney, are brought together when a spontaneous car moment leads to them hitting and jointly caring for an injured dog they name Colin. The dog is the McGuffin; the show is about two people who keep choosing each other despite every sensible reason not to. Real life married couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall write and star, and the chemistry is not acted, it is just documented.

What Colin From Accounts Is About
Centred on Ashley and Gordon, two single(ish), complex humans who are brought together by a car accident and an injured dog, Colin From Accounts is about flawed, funny people choosing each other and being brave enough to show their true self, scars and all, as they navigate life together.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 30 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 24 episodes, spread across 3 seasons and it leans into its comedy/romance roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer and Emma Harvie to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer, Emma Harvie, Genevieve Hegney, Michael Logo and Helen Thomson lead the cast.
Key roles include Patrick Brammall as Gordon Crapp; Harriet Dyer as Ashley Molden; Emma Harvie as Megan; Genevieve Hegney as Chiara; Michael Logo as Brett.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy and romance have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Paramount+ / Binge’s other originals, a 7.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2022 and carried by Paramount+ / Binge with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy and romance viewers.
How Colin From Accounts Compares
If Colin From Accounts lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/romance lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Colin From Accounts is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/romance roots, It has held up since 2022 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Colin From Accounts is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and romance lane, at 24 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.9/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.9/10. Watch it if you want comedy/romance you can settle into.
