Season 1 Reviews
The Playlist
Charles Bramesco
Beyond genetic markers, the three core members of the show's central clan are united by their extremely comfortable attitude towards sex and equally extreme discomfort in their own skin.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
The comic situations and commentary on how difficult it is to find love in the era of Twitter and texting feels organic to the three people at the center of this remarkably well-crafted and well-acted piece.
NPR
Eric Deggans
"Casual" slowly reveals unique characters searching for connection when the rhythms of modern life often alienate us.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
Casual's start is a promising one. Even if Watkins's performance was the only reason to tune in, it would be reason enough -- but any show willing to pull back on the throttle and get a little weary deserves a shot.
Los Angeles Times
Mary McNamara
Casual is for "mature audiences." But the "mature" also refers to show's ability to be ruthless, but not brutal, humane but not sentimental.
AV Club
Joshua Alston
In theory, every not-quite-right project gets Watkins ever closer to the exactly right one, so Casual is to be appreciated for that reason alone.
Observer
Orly Greenberg
Casual falls into the more indie-dramedy category of television than anything else, so viewers looking for a neatly packaged, shiny family comedy can look elsewhere. But those seeking a bolder, fresher take can direct themselves to Casual.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Margaret Lyons
There's just not quite enough happening, either in depth or in breadth or in originality or in hilarity or tragedy or musicality or in the dazzle department.
TheWrap
Tim Grierson
Casual also seems to be a mandate for the cast and creative crew behind this laid-back but thoughtful and well-observed comedy about love and family in the modern age.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Casual, which features salty language, is a smart, grown-up show for grown-ups who know the sexiest organ humans possess is the brain.
NPR
Linda Holmes
But in the writing and in the performances, there's bottomless compassion for this family and its awkward efforts at healing itself.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
Casual is in many ways an anthology of first-world problems... but like a good therapist, this show knows that among family, even a squabble over takeout carries the weight of history.
HitFix
Alan Sepinwall
The season as a whole is terrific, and comes very satisfyingly full circle with all of its stories, but you might want to... loop back later to watch the rest in a smaller window.
Salon.com
Sonia Saraiya
The show is perplexing, but as evidenced by the care it shows for Laura's fragile relationship with her father, or the siblings' devotion to each other in the face of their egotistical, manipulative mother (Frances Conroy)-it has a poetry to it, too.
Vox
Emily St. James
Once the show taps into its questions of just why we continue to adhere to the same social structures we have for millennia when we ostensibly have other ones we could be trying, it becomes something much more special.
indieWire
Liz Shannon Miller
In general, there's a solid cast on display here.
Entertainment Weekly
Melissa Maerz
While they struggle through bad dates, the pilot's take on these lovable downers is a bit of a downer itself, but the second half hour sharpens its wit, promising better episodes to come.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Casual is enjoyable in an unseemly way, with characters who do and say things that a viewer can only hope are aberrations rather than reflective of the social norm.
Variety
Brian Lowry
Edgy doesn't equal interesting in Casual, a Hulu series that hews close to pay-TV territory in terms of language and sex, but winds up feeling like a racier rehash of the short-lived Fox comedy Ben and Kate.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
Bleakness has never been as funny as it is in Hulu's savvy new comedy Casual.
