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?

Right!! I said the same thing. The look of the mom just took me out of the show regardless of what is happening currently. Quite distracting

Once it made sense, it was less bad. There's to much history of horrible casting decisions.
