✅ NOT A WOKE TRAP

Colin from Accounts is a relationship dramedy about two flawed adults navigating romance, aging parents, and a disabled dog. It is what it appears to be from the first scene. There is no hidden ideological content, no mid-season turn into political messaging. The show's occasional progressive markers (the gay best friend, the diversity of Sydney's dating scene) are background texture, not platform.
