20 somethings playing teens

Are there no good teen actors? This series would have been much better with a different casting director. It was just too weird watching 20somethings try to be teenagers.

I just finished watching all 5 seasons on Netflix. Wasn't real good ... wasn't real bad. I like to finish when I start a season and I had time to kill.

Thats just how it is. Friday Night Lights, Happy Days, and so on.

It's much easier to work with actors 18+. They could get some young actors who appear younger though, with fewer lines across their foreheads.
