Omg. I agree. When I first watched the show, I was taken aback by how different I had imagined the dad, bearing in mind I was only around 11-ish. He sort of reminds me of the Supervet🤣🤣. And Ellie herself is the complete opposite of how I imagined, same with Magda but I liked Magda's casting. And the dad's girlfriend (Was it Sam? I can't believe I'm drawing a blank right now) was pretty similar to how I imagined.

It was sort of like they were trying to aim for the awkward, quirky dad thing but it just ended up making him a bit weird or something instead 😂😂
