Exploring the Joys of Second-Tier Streaming with Colin From Accounts

Paramount Plus?! I’ve gotten that reaction multiple times when I mention Colin From Accounts, a super funny Australian comedy that just wrapped up its second season on a streaming service that doesn’t get as much buzz. Despite having 71.2 million subscribers, Paramount+ is considered second-tier in the world of streaming, kind of like the WB to NBC or Starz to HBO. It’s out there, you’ve heard of it, and maybe your cousin who’s a Trekkie swears by it. But trust me, you’re missing out if you’re not exploring these lesser-known streaming options.

The problem with streaming is choice overload. We often end up rewatching the same shows because there are so many options. When it comes to TV, each service offers something unique, so it’s worth checking out what’s available beyond the big players like Netflix and Disney+. I stumbled upon Colin From Accounts on Paramount+ thanks to some deal I can’t remember, but I got hooked. It’s not about office work like the name suggests; it’s a rom-com featuring a dog named Colin who brings two singles together. The banter is top-notch, the characters are relatable, and the show isn’t afraid to break out of the norm.

Colin From Accounts is refreshing because it’s not a spinoff or a big-budget spectacle. It’s down-to-earth, funny, and filled with heart. There are hidden gems like this on various streaming services waiting to be discovered. Even if a show’s ratings aren’t through the roof, like Hulu’s Extraordinary, it can still be a hidden treasure worth watching. So, don’t give up on those overlooked streaming services after watching one show. Dive into the lesser-known content and you might find your new favorite series, just like I did with Colin From Accounts. Happy streaming!
