Added DiffLines:

* FiftiesHair: Betty's mother Bertha Pomeroy wears her hair in a curly pageboy of the 1950s, highlighting her age and that she lives in a rural area.
* TheSeventies: The series starts in 1978 with Candy listening to disco music, even hitting a disco bar with Sherry, kitchens decorated in warm colors or avocado green, Candy and Pat take the kids to watch ''Film/{{Grease}}''.
* SeventiesHair: The men wear their hair in the conservative albeit light on product "Dry Look" and long sideburns with the women wearing relaxed versions of SixtiesHair, pageboys, the Farrah Fawcett do, or long simple hair.
* TheEighties: The event of the murder and court trial occur in the early 1980s, while downplayed, fashion gives way to the trends of this decade with the women wearing their hair a bit teased, brighter colors, and pants slimming in the leg.


Added DiffLines:

* ChattyHairdresser: Candy's supportive yet gossipy friend Sherry Cleckler works at a salon she may possibly own.


Added DiffLines:

* GoodParents: Pat, who despite struggling with the revelation of his dissatisfied wife cheating on him (much less her murdering another parishioner), never wavers from his duties as a father and comforts his children about why their mother is away.
* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Across the show
** Candy Montgomery was noted to be very attractive, but even her looks aren't up to the standards set by Creator/ElizabethOlsen.
** Zig-zagged with Betty Gore, while she was noted to be the prettiest girl in her high school and no less attractive as an adult, she did dress and wear her hair in dowdy styles and put on some weight. This is in contrast to Creator/LilyRabe who wears a simple pageboy and is stylish and slimmer.
* HistoricalUglinessUpdate: Allan Gore was noted to be an average looking man with a fading hairline but Creator/JessePlemons inverts his good looks to portray Allan as a pudgy and frumpish businessman.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: Betty when it comes to Pastor Ron, Candy states that Betty isn't welcoming to the man but as we can see he makes no move to ingratiate himself with the congregation, he looks down on the things they do (from singing a rock song in choir, homemade ornaments for the Christmas tree, and Pat using Literature/PeterRabbit for a Sunday School puppet show) and Betty is merely voicing the discontent felt by her fellow churchgoers.


Added DiffLines:

* ParentsArePeople: Explored with the young parents and couples of Wylie where Candy loves her children but wants something more than the domestic routine she settled into and makes a series of questionable choices, Allan loves his daughter but is dissatisfied with his marriage and sleeps with another wife from church, Pat is a devoted father who adores spending time with his children (more than most fathers of his age group then) but isn't attentive to his wife, and Betty who loves her family but struggles with mental health and isn't regarded as pleasant.
* RaceLift: Pastor Jackie in RealLife was noted as being not only a woman pastor in 1970s small-town Texas, but also African-American leading a congregation that included white people, she is instead portrayed by the European-American Elizabeth Marvel.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Sherry wonders this out loud to Candy when the latter tells her she is considering an affair with Allan Gore.
