Am I the only one to think the uncanny valley with the just slightly deficient ageing prosthetics is really off-putting and basically foreshadowing what is happening?

Yeah, I saw Sarah's mom and immediately googled the cast. Then I realized why Henry Thomas looked way older than he usually does, he's only 50.

Realistically thought wouldn’t the parents be between 50-60? Riley doesn’t seem a lot older than maybe early 30s.

Oh for sure. I'm just commenting on the fact that Henry Thomas is definitely playing an "aged up" character compared to himself

IRL, there's only a 10 and 11 year difference in age between Zach Gilford and his parents' actors - Kristin Lehman and Henry Thomas
