I will agree I've never understood why the do such huge age differences in shows. Idk if anyone had ever seen kyle XY but 2 of the kids were real highschool age like under 18 and the others were like 24. I actually wish they had done more with the hunters arc because i believe there has to be more hunters than just the argents. I felt kinda let down the way allisons mom made it seem like at the end of season 1 i thought there was gonna be like a council. Getting back to the actual point of the post though I think they just reconned it to where the series and the actual year match up. I really dont know why they tried to make it seem earlier anyway.

We know there's more than just the argent family, there was that African American guy in season two, remember when Gerard took Allison out for her initation and she had to find her way home or something?

They didn't deliberately make it set in past. Season one was set the same year it came out, but seeing as it only spanned a few weeks, and season two picked right up where it left off even though it came out a year later, the timeline fell behind
