Impact - S1-E1

Other mistake: Right at the start, as they're crashing, the computer narrates their rapidly-dropping altitude in feet. But the "altitude" dial we're shown is in metres. Most noticeable as they cross the 3,000 mark, when the computer voice and the height say/show the same number at the same time, despite the different units. 3,000m would be more like 9,000 feet, or 3,000 feet would be more like 1,000m. (00:03:20)

Touch - S1-E3

The Mother-in-Law - S1-E5

Other mistake: Episodes 4 and 5 of season 1 aired noticeably out of order. In episode 4, "The Nanny," Alex's former Nanny, Rosalba, comes to work at his podcast company, and its name, "Ajana," is mentioned a few times. But episode 5, "The Mother-in-Law," starts with the company unnamed; over the course of the episode, Alex learns of the concept of "ajana," the unknown, from his mother-in-law and chooses it as his company's name.

Winter Luau - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Lucas is about to take Alexa from her friends, you can hear them re-using an audio clip from a previous episode, "But if I tell them the same thing is gonna happen to me" which would only apply if this was before Alexa tells everyone that she is the one with cancer.

Suggested correction: The mohawk was not a prop, but the actual hair of the actor they shaved off and mended together for him.

lartaker1975

That is true, it was the actor's actual hair, but in the realm of the show, Eli's hair was not long enough to style that large of a mohawk out of it.

Deep State picture

A Kind of Warfare - S1-E2

Other mistake: The shopkeeper hands Danny a Beretta 92fs/M9 handgun with a detached suppressor. To mount a suppressor to the muzzle end of the handgun the barrel needs to be threaded, and this one isn't. Sometimes barrels are threaded and when no suppressor is attached they are protected by a thread barrel cap to protect the threads from dings and bumps. There is no thread cap here either. (00:22:35)

Troy: Fall of a City picture

Black Blood - S1-E1

Other mistake: All the Greek name variants are used over the Latin ones - including even "Odysseus" over the more familiar "Ulysses" (who is the same person). However when the story of Actaeon comes up, it's suddenly the goddess "Diana" that he saw. But all the gods have their Greek names, so that should be "Artemis." (As indeed is used in episode 2). (00:39:35)

No Way Out - S3-E3

Other mistake: Higgins is asked if she can hack a security feed from an office. She replies that she can do it, but it will only be audio, no video. When she hacks it, is only video, no audio. (00:14:10 - 00:15:35)

The ABC Murders picture

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Other mistake: After the arrest of "ABC" and a brief scene with the interview to Betty's family, there's a prolonged close-up of a newspaper with the date "24 April 1933." Besides the article on the serial killer, there's a headline that says "German ministers in Rome - Uproar as Strong Arm men pack benches." The body of the article though talks about the Persian parlament, and the prime minister mentioned is "Dr. Mossadeg." Mohammad Mossadegh's public office as PM and his visit in the US mentioned in the article happened in the 50s.

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Other mistake: When the women are practicing their archery skills, one of the women says "I wonder why Lady Yun is absent today." But the captions add an extra N to the name Yun, misspelling the name as Lady Yunn. (00:15:41)

FBI (2018)

FBI picture

Undisclosed - S2-E7

Other mistake: Toward the end of the episode the perpetrator is corned by the FBI. He steps backwards from the curb and is killed instantly by a garage truck moving at a high rate of speed. In the following scene the garbage truck is shown just a few steps beyond the scene just behind a parked car. The truck was going very fast when it killed the perp and could not have stopped so quickly. Further it would not have been going that fast in a curb lane with a parked vehicle right ahead of it.

Triage - S4-E1

Other mistake: The opening scene shows a captive with a hood over his head being dragged barefoot along a long driveway by two men. His feet are dragging over the ground. He is then strung up by his hands, and when they show his feet, there is not a scratch on them.

Camelot - S1-E1

Other mistake: When the first Naranjo brother was shot, blood gets on the glass behind him, implying the bullet exited his head. But if it did, the bullet would have smashed the glass - it didn't.
