    All the characters seem synthetic, written, and fake. Really Hulu? Take a note from Amazon and go after great material instead of this regurgitated drivel.

    Okay, I admit there are some funny dialogues at time but not nearly enough to justify watching these absolutely horrid characters interact with each other and then be subjected to the gratuitous sex scenes. Literally, those scenes are like 'hey look at us, Hulu we can show sex and cuss on camera...yeahhhh'. I watched 4 episodes and will never watch another.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Im sorry. I watched it for 10 minutes and its absolute crap. You see, im more of "what its about" type of person rather than a "whos in it" and "how great they did" kind of person. To me all i see is an inappropriate relationship amongst family members. Its kind of disturbing if you ask me. An uncle watching his niece have sex? A brother and sister who are way too involved in each others sex life?
    Oh, and did i mention the niece/daughter is comfortable having sex around the mother and uncle? Is this supposed to be funny? Rubbish. Gave my tv syphilis.    … Expand

    Casual is more wry than funny, but it has some sharp observations and moments. It's also got a secret weapon in Watkins.... Casual definitely gets better as it goes along.

    Every once in a while, the writing of Casual falls into an utterly predictable trap. Too many times, it's easy to guess who's walking in on or waking up next to who. Fortunately, many of those moments are then maneuvered into a plot development that proves pretty intriguing.

    Valerie and Alex are both oblivious and self-involved, but they also love each other, and Watkins and Dewey save them from stereotype with strong sibling chemistry and a surprisingly natural inclination for truth. This emerges slowly, in bits and pieces, often camouflaged by one-liners and set pieces (adjacent blind dates! the first one-night stand! Mom comes to town!), but it is truth nonetheless, hilarious, heartbreaking and miraculously resilient.
