10 Recent TV Moments That Made No Sense
3. The Noticeably Aged Cast - Sex Education
Sex Education is a wonderful comedy series which had an, er, less-than-wonderful conclusion earlier this year.
Though the primary issues were creative ones, many fans also couldn't help but point out the distractingly large chasm between the ages of the central characters and the actors playing them.
This isn't a new issue for any TV show centered around school or college-age characters, yet given that Sex Education's four seasons were released over almost five years and yet covered just two years of narrative time, it's little surprise the actors' ages began to lose credibility.
The most egregious examples among the cast are 30-year-old Ncuti Gatwa, 29-year-old Aimee Lou Wood, 28-year-old Kedar Williams-Stirling, 27-year-old Emma Mackey and Connor Swindells, and 25-year-old Mimi Keene.
It simply wasn't easy to accept that these performers were still playing teenagers in 2023, and while there's little practically that can really be done about it - horrid digital de-aging be-damned - it is nevertheless something that ultimately became tough to ignore.
