Mia supposed to be 16???


That's totally ridiculous!!!

reply

IMO she's perfectly cast.

And yes, she absolutely looks way older than 16. But the fact that she does, makes Hank's character so much more sympathetic. IMO If her she looked anything like 16, the audience would tend view Hank as unforgivably depraved, rather than as the forgivably depraved and lovable character that he is.

She did look older than her age and that's why Hank had sex with her. He had no idea at that time how young she was. Once he found out he never crossed that line again. Lew Ashby knew how young she was and still was with her sexually

in england 16 is the legal age of consent so she'd have been more than welcome this way

'it never occurred to me that skin could determine identity'

reply

Yes, I know that about England but they were in the USA

reply

It's 16 in many parts of the USA as well. Just an fyi, not an encouragement to the would-be cradle robbers out there. I would add that it's 17 in New York where Hank Moody is from.



If you had used proper grammar, I wouldn't have had to correct you.

reply

In wild, free-spirited uninhibited, non-Bible Belt California, where the show is set, the age of consent is 18

She was legally of age by that time. Still young, but legal.

There was this fire, and I had to save it from a baby...

reply

No, it wasn't legal since she was 17 when Lew had sex with her. Karen clearly states this in S2E8, when she's having an argument with him about it. He says he thought she was 19.
