Sweet and sassy is a fun combination, as co-creators and stars Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall remind us in their comedy series Colin from Accounts. The second season, like the first, has an enjoyably dichotomous tone: charming and personable, yet so very catty and intemperate. Even during its quieter moments, nobody’s far from spewing obscenities or snark, albeit never in ways that sour the pleasures of the show and its cast.
Also: juxtapositions are funny – like the giddy gag that opens season two. Director Trent O’Donnell deploys blithe visions of Ashley and Gordon – Dyer and Brammall’s lovebirds – frolicking around in the park with old mate Colin, the wheelchair-using pooch whose story is entwined with the trajectory of their relationship, introduced in a meet-cute in the show’s very first episode.
