The fun new series Colin from Accounts is part raunchy comedy, part romantic comedy,

part friendship story, and part very cute dog.

It begins with two strangers having a terrible day that winds up tangling them together

no matter how hard they sometimes try to get untangled.

I'm Gwen Weldon.

And I'm Linda Holmes, and today we're talking about Colin from

accounts on pop culture happy hour from NPR.

Here with me and Glenn today is Margaret H. Willison, faculty with Not Sorry Productions. Welcome

back Margaret.

Hi you guys, I'm so excited to be here.

We are always excited to have you.

Colin from Accounts is an Australian comedy series created by Anne Starring, the real life married

couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammel. They play Ashley and Gordon. She's about to turn 30 and is in

medical school. He's a little older and runs a brewery and one day a chance

meeting results in an injury to an adorable little dog for whom they reluctantly decide to take joint responsibility.

Their friends and family are around to be alternately intrigued and concerned about their

strange bond and their little dog is

depending on them to keep it together. Colin from accounts is streaming now on

Paramount Plus. Glenn you were one of two friends of mine who told me within about a 24-hour period to watch this show

So I know that you enjoyed it tell me about why this hit for you. Yeah, it was odd because it's a rom com and that's usually not my bag.

But then I realized I wasn't watching it as a rom com.

I was watching it as a calm, as a hang, as a vibe.
