mekjd Characters are very well portrayed and interestingly all the more enjoyable for having all their flaws front and center. A great rejoinder to hippies and yuppies who did not let having children interfere with their drugging and promiscuity, and yet who seemed to maintain their wealth and pomposity with nary a touch of shame. Son and daughter try to make some sense of life, with mixed results. Mostly looking for love in...you know the rest.The problem that I have with this show is that the characters do not grow. They act out their hidden needs again and again. I mean, give us a break! Let someone emerge from existential hell and catch a breath of fresh air. It would make the show much better.

bruce-129 I was hunting around for something to watch and happened upon "Casual" on Hulu. After watching a bit of it I was perplexed and the first episodes of the first season are comparatively tame.Seriously, I have the freshness and uniqueness of the show and the real and sometimes very uncomfortable feelings this show can elicit."Casual" is the story of a brother(Alex) and a sister(Valerie) and their often too close relationship, and messed up boundaries, in their dysfunctional family, including some very peculiar parents. Valerie's irritating daughter, Laura, also adds suspense and uncertainty to the show.Other characters such a Jack (Valerie's sex addict BF), Leon ( Alex's best friend), Leia (Leon's delightful GF and Rae (Alex's room renting occasional hookup.The show tends to focus on the things people do to drive themselves and others crazy ... it's hilarious ... I love it. Even though there are times when it kind of makes me mad or turns my stomach.This last season, so far, season 3, has really gone out there, and I am wondering if anyone is left watching? I see very few to no comments on this show in the chat boards.All three of the main characters have let their bad sides show, so maybe this show is a test if you can do that and maintain a fan base to a show that can turn fairly negative fairly quickly. I'll keep watching if only to see where these new writers will head next. Until then I will continue to rate "Casual" at 10/10 because they are working in new territory and doing a great job.So, love the show and while I hope they keep it up for as long as they can, I would appreciate if just maybe they would tone it down so as to not alienate possible fans ... this is good stuff if you do not get put off and are a bit persistent.

reconix Randomly went through Amazon prime video looking for something to watch, didn't really care much for what it was, just background noise per say, but actually this show was surprisingly good. Show starts out interesting with really funny socially awkward moments throughout. The characters actually progress with a story and back story of a tale why some of them are borderline crazy in their little world, if you don't see it at the start, you will towards the end.I'd say give the show a try, you'll ether really like it or hate it, fun humour, great acting and nice story.Do be warned it sort of starts off slow but give the show a chance you might be surprised like me when normally you wouldn't.

mauro volvox if humans behave like these characters, I want to move to Mars.....Is this what modern society is converging to? In the show we have a bunch of overly sexed morons, who only think about, you guessed, sex!!!This was supposed to be a funny take on relationships, but the type of relationships shown in this "show" have the depth, displayed by baboons in heat during their mating season.Characters are obnoxious, with some sort of borderline psychological disorder.I did not even giggle once...
