ThiefHott Too much of everything

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

mbartesaghi In the show, the female lead just turned 40. Really? I think the actress herself is 46 (and looks it, as she should). She also looks like a woman with a regular body, hips, a belly, and so on, GREAT! Why can't characters be the age of the actors? Why do we instead have to believe that hooking up in middle age when one is smart and relatively plain but funny and offbeat attractive is so easy? Could we not relate to Valerie better, especially considering the fact that she has just gotten divorced and is now back to dating? As a woman, this annoys me to no end. So, I love the show. I love the way it deals with the sibling relationship and Valerie's issues with dating...in a misogynist world which includes her Peter-Pan syndrome narcissist of a brother and her annoying daughter, but I am tired of having to buy into the fact that 40 is the limit (see also Girlfriend's Guide...where the actress is 48 playing 40). It is obvious that men are still in charge here, and certainly in the way plots go. It bothers me so much I find it hard to watch.

fredfaice I *really* want to like and support alternative programming - really, I do. But this ain't it. You mean: out of all the talented, out of work writers and actors out there, THIS is the best Hulu can come up with? It's horrid - the mother is supposed to be 39, she looks & acts 55. The main character guy is so unbelievable you can't get past it - it's like if you took a bad cast and tried to make a farce out of old 90210 story-line. And the, the daughter, who is supposed to be 16, looks 30, and acts like some entitled sister that never left home - instead of a child, in school. We all know that the world revolves around the kids now, don't we. And perhaps the most insulting part of it all: they try to repackage it all as 'innovative'. NOT. Sorry, not sorry, TOTAL FAIL.

Johnny Soory Aseel What is the biggest reason why people would be disappointed in a series? Well wrongful categorization of course. When a series is labeled as comedy, people would expect laughs, and they get disappointed when they do not find them. That is one of the main reasons why 'Shameless' is one of the most underrated shows ever. My point is, just because a series has a few funny moments, it does not mean it should be labeled or categorized as comedy.'Casual' is one of the best drama series I have encountered within the past few years. It is very well written and acted. The story develops slowly but steadily, and towards the end of the season, you become hooked.It portrays the characters' struggle with life and change in a very real manner. The recently divorced mother's struggle to fit in the world as a divorcée, who had missed on life because she got married and had a kid at an early age. The successful yet unhappy man who created an algorithm for people to find their perfect matches, yet his own system fails to find him a match when he creates a profile as his real self. The sexually active teenager girl who would do anything to get the attention of the older teacher she is in love with.The lead actors Michaela Watkins and Tommy Dewey deliver raw and brilliant performances. When Eliza Coupe joined the cast, I felt she had completed the brilliance trinity. I really, really hope she comes back for the second season and becomes a regular on the show. She is one of the actresses that I really enjoy watching. I can say the same thing about Michaela and Tommy now that I have seen them in casual.To sum up, 'Casual' is my favorite kind of drama that tingles your emotions.

columbusbuck The reviews for this show have been really good and I like to give shows that are well reviewed a chance before deciding not to watch. So, I watched the first episode. The banter between the three family members, as well as the dreadful behind the back talk about everyone else, was actually pretty funny - - truly a guilty pleasure. My favorite was the scene outside the restaurant's ladies room.Ultimately, though, it was the chemistry between the two leads, Alex and Valerie. There is so much of it that you feel like they should be together. And that's extremely ICKY because they are siblings. And I can't help but feel that this show is leading to that destination. Will 'Casual' be the first show ever to feature a romance between brother and sister? It feels like that and that's a total deal breaker for me. Yuck. I'm out.
