Also, Kaley seems to be the same age.
It's a bit of a stretch, but I also feel like Season 5 of Breaking Baddid a good job of doing the same thing.

I think Mike's character has been pretty consistent, and his backstory has been built well enough to be believable.
He has the connections, capabilities, intelligence, and foresight. He is also extremely cautious and detail oriented. He found ways to survive the police force in Philadelphia, amidst the corruption/justice duality, until his son's ethics challenged his own.
However, I did have to wonder why Kaylee seems, at youngest, 8 although it is set 6 years before BB and she is 10 in that series.
