That would be weird.Shes too old for him in the present and too young for him in the future.

And Laurence Harvey was only three years younger than Angela Lansbury, the actress who played his mother, in the original 1962 version of the Manchurian Candidate.
While the actor who was cast to play young Alec may be in his late twenties, his character was supposed to be a boy-genius teenager in season 1. In his TV interview in season three he has recently turned 20.
How old is Kiera supposed to be? Old enough to have first served in the Army, then joined the CPS, and bore a child who is about 8 years old. So, about 30, maybe 35.
There are worldly 18 year old kids, for whom a relationship with an unworldly 30 year old is not that much of a stretch. But Alec isn't one of them.
I agree that an Alec-Kiera relationship seems unlikely, even if there were four more seasons, not four more episodes.
Actors ages aside when the show started Alec was a boy genius still living at home with his mom.I'd guess his character was between 18 and 21.I couldn't say Keira's exact age.But she was old enough to have a son between 7-9 years old.Which would mean she'd been married for around 10 years.Which character wise would put their age difference somewhere in the double digits.
shareOh my, where to start?
My wife hired a young 16-yr old girl, and found out she had a 1-yr old baby. Later on, and one more baby by a different father, she graduated high school with honors, and planned to join the military. And she was married when she had the first baby, and divorced shortly after.
During the Vietnam era, draftees only served two years, 'ordinary enlistees' served four years, and specialty enlistees served six years. So, military service could be just two years.
(I heard some of the 4-yr enlisted were offered bonus money to leave early when Vietnam wound down, BTW, and there probably wasn't as much need for helicopter mechanics and pilots either.)
Also, a "boy genius" these days may be smart enough to stay living in his Mom's house, so he can buy all that expensive "tech" gear he had, easily surpassing 21 if amassing money wasn't important to him, (then). There is also the term "boomerang kids" for the ones that go out on their own too soon, and have to come back home to live after they fail, or decide to no longer stoop to doing what might pay the bills.
Their ages could be closer than you discussed.
Then too, the show was obviously set in the future, and who knows what social norms could change by then.
She's a woman, he's a man. No, it would not be weird.
