Colin From Accounts Review

This episode of Colin from Accounts was okay although it feels like something is missing this season. By this point, Colin has become a moot point and no longer seems to matter besides the occasional joke. There doesn’t seem to be a core purpose here since the episodes have mainly focused on Gordon and Ashley arguing.

The jokes have been hit and miss with most falling into the latter category. The series remains watchable, but it really doesn’t have the same charm it had last time around. Watching these episodes just feels like we’re going through the motions just to see where things go. There is no emotional connection to the characters or the dog.

Even worse is that some of the jokes have switched from moderately clever to slightly annoying. Again, this has been watchable but I will definitely lower my expectations going forward. The episode scores a 5 out of 10. Catch up with past recaps of Colin From Accounts here.
