EW Must List: Michaela Watkins shines on Casual season 2

Casual

Whether it was going for laughs during a short-lived stint on Saturday Night Live or spicing up the recurring cast of HBO’s comedy Enlightened, Michaela Watkins has spent recent years as a key supporting character on a variety of notable programs; Thankfully she’s found a more permanent home at the center of Hulu’s Casual, which gives her comedic talents the proper space to flourish alongside fellow cast members Tommy Dewey, Tara Lynne Barr, Nyasha Hatendi, and Frances Conroy.

Casual follows a middle-aged, newly-divorced mother, Valerie, as she navigates the messy waters of single life while living with her younger brother and teenage daughter. Mixing elements of dark comedy and emotionally-charged drama, Casual has found a beautiful balance of genres as its second season charges on.

New episodes of Casual season 2 stream every Tuesday on Hulu through Aug. 23.

Jason Bourne

It’s been nine years since Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass made sweet movie magic together on 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum, and the action duo are back together for the fifth installment in the popular series. The film also sees Julia Stiles returning as Nicky Parsons alongside Bourne newcomers like Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel, and reigning Best Supporting Actress Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander, blending old and new for a refreshing entry in the 14-year old franchise.

As enjoyable as Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz made 2012’s The Bourney Legacy, with Damon and Greengrass back in control, the Bourne series finally feels like home again.

Jason Bourne opens July 29 in theaters.
