Revealing mistake: When Brad and Caroline are running off in the taxi, across the border to PA, it is obvious that the lighting inside the cab are studio lights from the traveling crew, as natural moonlight would not reflect so strongly inside or out of the cab, at that speed.

Episode #1.65 - S1-E65

Revealing mistake: For a prison governor/warden, Mrs. Davidson (Erica) would presumably earn a modest upper middle class salary. Yet here she is on the phone, in the foyer of her home, wearing an elaborate house dress, surrounded by very stellar furnishings. But then she answers a knock at the door, and opens it to reveal a very ugly vertical striped wall mere feet behind her visitor. Obviously indicating that she either lives in a dim-tenant or low-scale apartment, or this scene was shot in-studio.
