Shouldn't they be in their mid-teens by now? Season 1 was a pretty long time ago, and I thought they were preteens then. Is it gross because most teenagers on TV who date and make out are played by adults, so these characters seem younger than they are?

Yeah the characters are 14 or 15, I think.

1) I think most people perceive 14 to be significantly closer to childhood than 16.

2) We've watched these kids grow up a bit, so that makes it feel weirder.

3) What you said. If they were played by young looking 18-year-olds I don't think it would feel nearly as...whatever, as it does feel.

For the record, I like Mike/Eleven, and I didn't have much of a problem with seeing them making out. But I was definitely aware that it felt very different from watching the characters of most teen shows make out. To me it felt voyeuristic in a way that watching characters make out usually doesn't. I was a lot more aware of myself, an adult, watching it, than I usually am.
