I really like this show, but it's not so great on casting. For example, the man who plays Nikolai is about 14 years too old for the part. If he was 16 in 1989, as Season 2 reveals, then in 2019, when we presume this story takes place, he should be 46. However, the actor who plays the part of adult Nikolai is 59 years old and while an excellent actor, looks his age.

The adult actress who plays Wesley's sister is also very much younger than Nikolai, who according to the storyline, was 7 when Nikolai was 16, making him just 9 years older. The actress could feasibly be 36, although she looks younger, making the age difference between her and Nikolai look even greater.

I'm not saying either actor is a bad choice; what I'm saying is that they should have aged Nikolai appropriately in the biographical episode.
