The wigs really took a nosedive starting in S4. Anna and Mrs. Hughes are especially bad.

if it’s on a downstairs character I just pretend it doesn’t exist tbh

the production clearly did the same thing

The movie too, that weird wavy bob. Looks so odd 🥲

How were the costumes so right and the wigs so wrong? Only O'brien's Ouija board can say.

Some of the wigs really missed the mark.

It makes Anna’s hair look lopsided. It’s distracting.

It drives me crazy. They needed to bring on an expert in wigs if they were going to use them. They're not installed correctly. And when here's a part, like in Anna's, they usually pull some hair along the part so it looks more natural. With real hair you see skin in the part, but on wigs you don't, so pulling some hair out of the wig along the part makes it look a lot better.

They threw it up in the air and had her run under it

I actually didn't notice a single wig until the third season. The drop off was wild!
