StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

simonperry-79281 Just finished the final episode on Amazon. Found myself genuinely moved, have grown to really like the characters and be interested in how things turned out. I guess the point about such polarising reviews is that you either like something or you don't. And that's ok. Just strongly suggest you give it a try and see which camp you fall into.

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.

katanaknights I'm giving it the lowest possible score, not because it's bad, but because of mislabeling. It's not a comedy. There are no jokes. You will not laugh here. There are more laughs and jokes in House, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy, Prison Break and many other dramas, that cut the tension with laughs.Think of all the laughs with Sandor Clegane, Doctor House, T. Bag, Saul Goodman, etc. You won't laugh at all here. I watched two episodes and there were no jokes. It's closer to being sad than funny, more awkward and uncomfortable than hilarious.As a comedy, it's 0/10. As a drama, it's 4/10.I don't know why they would even label this show a comedy. Maybe so that no one compares it to the excellent TV dramas and so that it gets compared to actually-comedies-with-no-story and beat them for having a story and character development.As a drama, it's weak and there are way too many great dramas on TV. As a comedy, it's zero. There is no reason for me to watch this show.In short - if you want comedy and laughs, you've come to the wrong place.

anna-danielian This is not a real review of the show because I only watched two episodes so far and it seems that a review at this point would be premature. Still, after watching the first episode, I felt compelled to comment on the comment in the show. In the first episode, when Valerie is about to dash from her office she asks her receptionist if she gets prepared when she is about to meet someone from online dating. The latter confirms that indeed she does. "I check Google, twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, OKCupid and other sites," she says. "How else would I know he is not a serial killer or... Armenian?" Now, is that supposed to be funny? I bet if "Armenian" in the comment was replaced with a Jew or Black there would have been a major outrage (and rightfully so), so why is it okay to say that about Armenians? It's bad enough that the only Armenians we see portrayed on TV are the ubiquitous Kardashians and characters that are either Uber-drivers or gang- members (see: Ray Donovan).
