This series about a couple bonding over an injured dog maintains the perfect blend of hard-edged laughs and genuine emotion. It’s an absolute joy to watch
In my review of the first season of Colin from Accounts, the comedy creation of the married couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, I called it unfailingly funny, honest, acute, kind and really rather wonderful. I cannot tell you with what trepidation I approached the second season, or how delighted I am to tell you that everything that made it great is back – and that the new batch of episodes is shaping up to be better than ever.
It opens just a few weeks after we left Ash (Dyer) and Gordon (Brammall) having given Colin to a new family then regretted it an hour later, only to find the new family refusing to return him. They are now effectively stalking “Peppy” (“Stupidest fucking name”) while the family loudly advises them that “possession is nine-tenths of the law!” and to “grow up and have a baby!”
