There's a man, a woman and a dog. But don't call 'Colin From Accounts' wacky

A glance, a flash and a crash start “Colin From Accounts” off on all the wrong feet. An attractive woman walking and an attractive man in his car catch each other’s attention, and as she crosses in front of him, she cheekily flashes a breast. He’s so distracted he then hits a dog.

(Spoiler alert: The dog will be OK.) It might not sound like it from the description, but as these three rather stray individuals intersect, the series metes out comedy and dysfunctional romance with a sure hand. The two human characters, Ashley and Gordon, are played by the show’s married creators and executive producers, Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall.

“Colin From Accounts” (what the characters name the dog) is set in Australia, whence they hail; the Australian-U.S. co-production airs here on Paramount+.

The couple moved to Los Angeles several years ago because Brammall was adapting his improvised Australian series “No Activity” for CBS All Access. “To be honest, I don’t think the script would have been written if we never moved, because it was actually born of me sitting here bored, not used to not working,” Dyer says, as she and Brammall sit at a Los Feliz cafe with their dog Walter. “I’d only been here a month, and Patty was like, ‘You’re going crazy, go and write something,’” she recalls.

“I’ve got a bit of a seedy mind. I try to look for the underbelly of life a little.” Brammall agrees.

“She’s sus.” “I’m suspicious of people,” she elab.
