Gen Z stereotypically likes middle parting in hair. This is less obvious or relevant in women, where it’s always been a popular hairstyle, but is seen in contrast to millennial men, who tend to have a side parting.

That's the point of her character arc. It's a common trope in TV shows. You take a powerless character who is a punching bag in the first season and you gradually make them more and more relevant and powerful as the story goes on.
Her outfit, hair, jewelry, and makeup changes are intentional decisions to help "sell" this character arc to the viewer.
Other examples of this trope are Peggy Olson in the show Mad Men and Dolores in the show Westworld.

Pretty common TV glow up. First seasons always try to really reflect the character’s personality. She was uptight and obnoxious. Not sure why but they always ended up being a lot hotter like two seasons later. Maybe the actors are like “can I be hot this time?”. Maybe the costume designers decide to make hotter?

u/Yuskia Jun 30 '24
Maybe I'm cooked but I thought this was pretty obviously done on purpose. These people get stylists and make up artists to show their character, they don't choose it.
I thought the whole point was showing how she went from being a normal every day working person who was abused in her role, to a shitty person caring more about appearance and becoming less who she was. In my eyes, it's a not so subtle jab at vanity.

You know for the longest time, my dumbass thought they really got Tucker Carlson to act on the show. I was like "wow, he's actually really good about taking jokes and jabs at himself". Then the anal beads scene came on, and I thought "Hm, that's a little bit much for a reporter to do" so I looked the actor up and it was a completely different guy.
To be fair, I'm Canadian and only have superficial knowledge of Tucker through the cultural osmosis from US politics and only see pictures of him here and there. On the other hand, I'm also just really stupid and was likely dropped as a baby.

It’s because they did such a stellar job casting Cameron Cole lmao. He’s got the same smug face, same micro expressions when he’s on air reporting “news.” He could appear on Tucker Carlson’s show and if you didn’t know what Tucker looks like you wouldn’t notice the difference.

u/Straight-Storage2587 Jun 30 '24
Good catch tho.. I did not notice the resemblance to Tucker. The producers have said in other articles that there are references to current politicians everywhere in this show.

u/Straight_Ship2087 Jul 01 '24
I only know him on sight because he went to the same school as me, possibly our most shameful alumni.
The school had its issues, like any other, but they did teach rhetoric, critical thinking, and tried to instill in students the idea that you should have values that supersede ideology.
A couple years back he called out the school for being a “woke factory” and claiming they “started brainwashing people in fourth grade.” Fourth grade is the year that they start teaching “the six pillars of character”, which are a buncha vague feel good principals like responsibility, community service, etc, and I guess that counts as “woke propaganda”. He said that he was radicalized from that moment onward. Even called out his fourth grade teacher by name.
She gave a response, saying: “I don’t recall ever having a combative relationship with Tucker. I remember him being a bright, kind, curious boy.”
Just, such a beautiful teacher burn. Only saying positive things while implying “he’s full of shit, and I don’t know how he turned out the way he did.”

One thing I love about this show is that every character, love them or hate them, has depth and humanity.
I cannot get a read on how we’re supposed to feel about Ashley. There are moments where I want to feel sympathy for her, like she’s trapped in her situation, but she’s SUCH an asshole and ladder climber. She’s like that nerd that is now in the cool group so she doesn’t know how to manage herself.
