Completing the comedy where the last season stops that follows the daily activity of Alex Cole, a young bachelor guy, who lives with his newly divorced sister, with whom he navigates through the world of dating, while raising her daughter. In this new season, Alex teaches Laura.
If you were there from the start, know that Casual isn't racing through story in this second season so much as it's pushing outward in a show of confidence that it's going to be around for a while.
Casual -- the let's-call-it-a-sitcom starring Michaela Watkins as a single-mom therapist -- proceeds from a place of diffidence, of setting up the mildest of jokes and seeing how softly the show can make them land.
Where Casual excels is in making the steps toward personal growth feel as real and meaningful as the setbacks, even though they unfold within the heightened world of a television dramedy.
