Colin from Accounts is a dog that brings Ashley and Gordon together when he's struck by a car. It's a fairly flimsy premise to bring a couple together and the dog barely features in the plot other than as a device forcing Ashley and Gordon to interact. After the initial premise has served its purpose, the story quickly develops into a romantic comedy.
Ashley "Ash" is a med student in her late 20s, trying to balance career with a chaotic family life, while Gordon "Flash" ('Flash Gordon' get it?) is in his early 40s and runs a brewery & bar. It's a very awkward relationship that has lots of comedic moments mixed with some serious dramatic subjects like health, death, age-gap relationships, and more.
The story doesn't drag its heels like some streaming series' do, but the story loses a little bit of steam in the middle of the season, there is also a bit of forced conflict during Ash's birthday episodes that hits and misses. However, the performances are generally well acted, the humour is light and mostly situational comedy and the characters are slightly quirky which lightens the tone (which can get a bit serious at times). It's not a comedy masterpiece or must-see viewing, but it's not a bad little story and the runtime feels just right at 8 episodes. It ends with some closure, but leaves things open enough for a potential second season.
