Former Home and Away star Tai Hara has revealed the secret to Colin From Accounts’ success.
The romantic comedy, produced by Binge and Foxtel, has become an international hit, with rave reviews in both the UK and US.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, Hara, who plays James opposite leads and co-creators Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, claimed it is the uniquely Australian sense of humour that gives the show its edge.
‘Now more than ever, our sense of humour is more accepted and understood in all different territories, especially in the States.’
‘But it’s the very Australian quirks that I think tickle everyone now and it’s something that’s just super relatable,’ he added.

The series has become a hit in over 100 countries since its first season premiered in 2022.
Following season one, Brammall and Dyer took home an AACTA award for Best Narrative Comedy Series and two Logies for Most Outstanding Actor and Most Outstanding Actress.
It has also cleaned up at the Venice TV Awards, the European Broadcasting Union’s Rose d’Or awards, and London’s C21 International Awards.

The romantic comedy drama was passed over by the ABC after the national broadcaster had concerns about the race of the main characters.
‘Ultimately, the feedback was, “Sorry, but you’re two straight white people,” co-creator Brammall told The Weekend Australian Magazine recently.
Binge last week dropped the first episode of the second season of the hilarious Australian comedy.
