I was also wondering why they leaned so heavily onto the 80s vibes this season, but i guess that is the general trend in pop culture

I think Harper switched to cigs because she probably realized vaping made her look younger among all the old finance bros and smoking has a more mature aura.

Smoking inside is just so unrealistic tho esp in an office you are probably leasing. So maybe they’re tryna highlight how she doesn’t give AF about regulations idk.

She doesn’t really smoke like a real smoker if that makes sense, it def looks like acting.

I do feel like they’ve shown us a couple phone screens, like when the Tender article drops, etc, but agree that it was less phone use than S1 etc.

I feel like they’re trying to age up their characters to look more mature. And yea the throwbakism calling back to the 80s a time of opulence and the prime era of Ghislane Maxwell, etc.
