I despise casting older actors to play teens, it sexualises teenagers far more than they should. Bare in mind that the SJA characters were ALL teenagers, I would assume that most people who watched SJA who were adults did NOT view those characters as sex appeal. Why is it acceptable, therefore, to portray CHARACTER's of the same age as having sex appeal by casting older actors?
Just stick with casting correctly aged people and stop trying to make it sexy, it's damn right icky.
I'm still remarkably un-enthused. I'm not going to condemn it yet, but Spooks: Code 9 is still nestling at the back of my mind...
I will watch, but am not going to hold my breath.
The trouble is, unless this does well, I don't foresee any other spin offs for a while. Which is a shame, because - DAMN IT - I want my realistic and gritty UNIT spin off that's filmed in the style of a contemporary Band of Brothers or suchlike.
