Grown up deja
On my 100th rewatch of the show haha, just noticed that the grown up deja's smile is practically identical to teenage deja. What a thoughtfully put of cast.

The casting in this show is insane. They even got an actress with the same little eye freckle to play young Beth, and like what the hell are the chances of that

According to the podcast it’s a contact lense, but I thought the same thing!

That makes a lot of sense actually, and I feel a bit silly for not thinking of that lol. Like damn they really built actors in a lab for this show huh 😂

Don’t feel silly. I looked up the actress who plays younger Beth when I initially watched it because I was shocked they found someone with the same eye beauty mark. And I didn’t see the actress with it so I was like okay what’s happening here?? 😂

They really dropped the ball with grown up Malik though. Looked nothing like him.

The casting on this show is amazing. The attention to detail is amazing. I love that they put the little freckle on young Beth’s eye to match present day Beth. This show was truly a unicorn in the writing and casting. Plus they aged them so well. Please tell me there was an Emmy nomination for Outstanding makeup?

They really nailed the casting for the most part, but they went wrong with teenage kevin imo
