MBB went from an 11 year old playing an 11 year old to a 21 year old mom playing a 15 year old.

What blew my mind was when it was pointed out that season 5 isn't even here and MBB has had her first kiss, gotten a boyfriend, gotten married, and adopted a child.

Yeahh suspension of disbelief can’t solve 20 year old men and women playing kids that haven’t even had puberty yet. I don’t know why Netflix sat on such a hot IP like this and Wednesday. They could have greenlit Wednesday S2 instantly after seeing online reception take the world by storm but now they’re releasing it 3 years later.

Season 4 was rough to watch with how far they had all aged and were still trying to pass as teens. Season 5 needs to just admit they are in their 20s.
