an inherent problem with a TV series
Yes, I know, this is for the movie, but there doesn't appear to be a page yet for the series, so here I am.
Kids age. I know time moves funny in this series, which is probably how they'll get away with it. But whoever plays Jake is likely to age faster than they can produce the entire series. So unless they start with a kid who's like, 5, which also wouldn't work for its own reasons, whoever plays Jake is going to be, say, mid-20s by the time they wrap up. Eddie age basically.
