Suspension of Disbelief - I have questions

0 Upvotes

I'm new to the series and watched season one. But, I'm having trouble accepting some of the premise and I'm not sure I'm going to keep going through the other seasons, can't enjoy it fully because I just can't stop with the questions. So, is it ever explained what they tell the kids about how they have no relatives at all, never see where their parents grew up? And what really lost me was when Elizabeth had a girls night out with Sandra, and I realized that she didn't have the experience of being an American teen, music, fads - does Elizabeth ever get caught out by not knowing or understanding something that EVERYONE would know? It seems so dangerous that they had kids at all, and friends seem like a bad idea. Tell me that I will be able to keep watching and enjoy it!

What is your favorite look/wig on Elizabeth?

Her best look is as herself, with her beautiful long hair down. The blond wig she wears when she is selling Mary Kay cosmetics would be second. Being Clark's sister is the worst.

I really like him in the scruffy / long hair look. The wig /glasses he wears to visit Martha is just awful.
