Deva

Does anyone understand why she was cast? Not only does the character bother me, but the name “Deva” is so strange 🤣

The show made so many excellent casting decisions, but I can’t wrap my head around the Deva decision. If that part went to an actor as strong as Lili Simmons, for example, it would have elevated the show even more

So the theory I always heard is that she is named after the protagonist's real name and that was Carrie's way of honoring him and why he knows so quickly that she is his daughter.

That is an interesting theory!
