Colin from Accounts S1-2
Rotten Tomatoes’ second-best romance series of last year, and third-best returning series overall, Season 2 of Australian comedy series Colin from Accounts picks up with Ashley and Gordon needing to work out whether they want a relationship … or if they just wanted a dog.
With Season 2, real-life couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall (who created, wrote and star in the show) have cracked a rare 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes for a second time, with the critics’ consensus saying it’s “as cranky, funny, and delightful as ever.”
In their 5/5-star review, The Guardian calls the show “an absolute joy to watch,” praising its “perfect blend of hard-edged laughs and genuine emotion,“ reiterating their Season 1 review that called it “unfailingly funny, honest, acute, kind and really rather wonderful”, adding that it’s “better than ever” in Season 2.
The hit series has already won three Logie Awards – Most Outstanding Comedy, and both Most Outstanding Actress and Actor for its leads – as well as the 2024 Australian Writers' Guild Comedy Award.
