Rolling StoneAlan SepinwallSep 26, 2024
Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

TVLineDave NemetzSep 23, 2024
Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

The Observer (UK)Barbara EllenSep 18, 2024
Season 2 Review: The second season of Colin from Accounts is that rare follow-up that isn’t just as good as the first – it’s better. Read full review

The TelegraphJasper ReesSep 3, 2024
Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

The A.V. ClubDanette ChavezSep 26, 2024
Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

The Daily BeastJon O'BrienSep 26, 2024
Season 2 Review: Although the show is never quite as compelling when our heroes aren’t the center of attention, the second season does draw plenty of comic mileage elsewhere. Read full review

The TimesJames JacksonSep 11, 2024
Season 2 Review: Colin from Accounts isn’t immune to rom-com conventions — there is an eventful wedding, as in so many other series. But really, who’s to split hairs? It’s funny. Read full review

The GuardianLuke BuckmasterSep 3, 2024
Season 2 Review: Colin from Accounts is a high point; they’re quite delightful, and have a knack for playfully stretching out moments that in other hands might have felt long and laboured. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Success may change some people but – one admirably restrained celebrity cameo aside – this show still feels like the gem it did the first time around. Read full review

Radio TimesJames HibbsSep 3, 2024
Season 2 Review: As we get to know the characters on a deeper level with each episode, it feels this show will just go from strength to strength - and long may it continue. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerNov 9, 2023
Season 1 Review: The chemistry between Dyer and Brammall is the key to Colin From Accounts; they show how these two comically flawed people can foster a relationship, even if the only thing they have in common is a disabled dog neither of them owns. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergNov 8, 2023
Season 1 Review: It’s a show that very swiftly establishes a wide emotional range, as well as a capable and deep ensemble around its two leads. Read full review

The GuardianLuke BuckmasterSep 19, 2023
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

iEmily WatkinsSep 19, 2023
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

VarietyMike McCahillSep 19, 2023
Season 1 Review: 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.

DeciderJoel KellerSep 27, 2024
Season 2 Review: We’re not sure how much more juice there is left to squeeze from the lemon that is Ashley and Gordon’s odd relationship, but Colin From Accounts tries its best to do just that, while expanding what we know about the world around them. Read full review

The Observer (UK)Barbara EllenSep 10, 2024
Season 1 Review: At times the writing needs to be sharper, and not quite so lavatorial, but this is winningly silly, lo-fi, character-led comedy with absurdist panache. Read full review
