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.
