Where the theatrical romcom seems to be undergoing a moment of crisis – struggling to honor the patented formulas of yore while meeting the demands of the modern multiplex crowd – TV looks to have adapted more rapidly and skilfully to the recent remapping of gender relations and personal boundaries.
One creative response has been to engineer intentionally cringier, Larry David-influenced variations on the romcom theme: shows reliant upon the acquired taste of foot-in-mouth, where far from star-crossed lovers make altogether unsmooth progress towards happiness, traversing an ever-shifting minefield of social mores.
Eight-part Aussie comedy “Colin From Accounts” – currently wooing BBC viewers after debuting on Antipodean streaming service Binge late last year – follows in the footsteps of the much-adored Sharon Horgan/Rob Delaney vehicle “Catastrophe.”

The editors behind Nitram, I Met A Girl, The Furnace and June Again will compete for this year’s Ellie Award for Best Editing in Feature Drama, while the television drama category will be a contest between those who cut Wakefield, The Tailings, Jack Irish, Eden and Bump.
The annual awards of the Australian Screen Editors (Ase) will be held in early February with the hope that travel restrictions between states will have eased.
“It’s been a tough two years and we think we all deserve to be together in person to celebrate these fine achievements in editing, and the results of everybody’s hard work during such difficult times,” Ase president Danielle Boesenberg tells If.
In addition to the feature film prize, I Met A Girl editor Melanie Annan will also be in contention for Best Editing in Documentary and Series for Three Songs for Benazir, shared with Christoph Wermke.

Netflix has put a call out for two entry-level post-production attachments on the upcoming Heartbreak High reboot.
Based in Sydney, the two attachment roles – post coordinator and assistant editor – offer the chance to work with Blue Post on the Fremantle Australia/NewBe series.
Blue Post managing director Peter Millington welcomed the prospect of new talent in post-production.
“Post-production can be very difficult to break into, so creating an attachment program is a perfect way to open doors to anyone who has a passion for this sometimes forgotten area of the screen craft industry,” he said.
“Australia has some amazing practitioners in screen editing, colour grading, picture finishing, sound mixing, and visual effects but there is no doubt that with the current boom in production, we need some fresh faces to build the next generation of post professionals.
“We are very excited to be working with Netflix and Fremantle Australia to...

Danielle Boesenberg.
With five shorts she has worked on screening this week at the Flickerfest International Short Film Festival screen editor Danielle Boesenberg must have a good shot at success at the festival.
She knew Ritual and Dust Devil were having their world premieres because she had a heads-up from the filmmakers. When the program came out she was pleasantly surprised to find Birdie, Black Lips and I F*cked A Mermaid and No One Believes Me were also selected.
“What I love about the five is they are all very different: two dramas, a comedy, a documentary and a queer film,” she tells If.
After working on more than 30 shorts she is looking to take the next step into features and long-form TV dramas, noting: “It’s just a matter of finding the right project.”
Most ambitiously, she and her partner, screenwriter Sam Meikle, hope to co-direct a movie...
