Slow Afternoon Thought

Apparently I’m really bad at spotting wigs, because I’m always coming across reviews of movies or tv shows which gripe about how bad the wigs were and how they distracted from the performances, and I’m always ashamed that I hadn’t even noticed the actors were wearing wigs in the first place.

Or is this one of those things where people are so keen to shout Aha! You can’t fool me! that they end up with a bunch of false examples?

I don't tend to think about it. I did accidentally develop the ability to notice, in some contexts at least, anachronistic hair.
