Ashley and Gordon are two single(ish), complex humans who are brought together by fate, a car accident, and an injured dog. The warm-hearted rom-com is about flawed, funny people choosing each other and being brave enough to show their true selves, scars and all, as they navigate life together.

The Telegraph by Jasper Rees
Why does it work? Yes, the comedy of embarrassment is supremely well-oiled. More than that, you simply root for the protagonists as they ironise their anxieties and awkwardness. .... Is certain to leave Colinophiles hankering for a third.
The Observer (UK) by Barbara Ellen
The second season of Colin from Accounts is that rare follow-up that isn’t just as good as the first – it’s better.
TVLine by Dave Nemetz
Brammall and Dyer both rise to the occasion as actors, lending Gordon and Ashley’s relationship a poignant complexity. A show like Colin From Accounts really is something to be treasured. It’s one of those small, lovely gems that almost feels too good to be true in today’s TV landscape.
Rolling Stone by Alan Sepinwall
As romance, as comedy, as hangout show, and occasionally as drama, Colin from Accounts is excellent. Gordon and Ashley should probably not be together, except it’s hard to imagine anyone else who would, or should, have them. Which is what makes it all so fun.
Collider by Carly Lane
Colin from Accounts might very well be the best show that few are watching over here in the States, but that also means there's no better time for viewers to catch up and familiarize themselves with this absolutely charming show.
The A.V. Club by Danette Chavez
Reconciling expectations with reality is a key part of any relationship, and it’s at the core of Colin From Accounts‘ exceedingly charming second season. Dyer and Brammall, in addition to having the kind of natural chemistry most romantic leads can only dream of, are keen observers of humanity.
The Guardian by Luke Buckmaster
It almost felt as though the creators had lured audiences inside the door with unpresuming situational comedy, then shaped it into meaningful drama when nobody was looking. The appealing chemistry between Dyer and Brammall is a big part of this.
i by Emily Watkins
Charming, compelling, and comedically convincing to boot, the first episode of Colin from Accounts not only sidestepped tired romcom conventions but set its own tempo altogether.
Variety by Mike McCahill
The show is so economical in setting up its characters – and not just for a fall – that halfway through this first run you realize Brammall and Dyer have achieved what it took Ricky Gervais and Quinta Brunson two seasons to master: get us caring for these stumblebums, and acknowledge that even bemused affection must count for something.
