Oh, sorry, no I wasn’t commenting on their acting skills. It’s more about just not often liking ‘youth characters’ over the past couple of decades. A few have been compelling and interesting, but I very often just get annoyed, especially when they fall into the standard tropes.

[B]Wednesday[/B] is an example that comes to mind, though it’s an extreme/caricature/cartoon, in a way. That could have been a fun show, but I hated how she was ‘a song with one note.’ That angry teen who thinks she’s smarter and deeper than everyone…. That example isn’t really related to Wayward, just one more annoyance. Maybe just a sign that I’m old and can’t relate to the yutes of today, but I think it’s objective to suggest that previous generations had far more interesting actors in the younger ranks. I struggle to think of anyone now who is interesting enough to be anything twenty years from now, or even roles played now that will be considered classic later. Timothy Chalamet comes to mind. Decent/good actor, I guess, but….

The last generation for me that held my interest was Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, and I often question a lot of the roles the Natalie has chosen.

Sorry this went off the rails, but I’d be interested to hear other opinions on the (expanded!) concept.
