The Fall - S3-E10

Factual error: Even at the distance they were stood, all of our intrepid heroes, including Dr. Goodweather, would have been blinded, looking at the flash from the nuclear explosion.

Tainted Love - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Near the start of the episode when Quinlan is talking to Roman while they load up the truck, Roman puts a green bag next to a black case with the case on the right. He then puts a black bag on top of the black case. After Quinlan passes him another black bag, the green bag and black case have swapped positions and the first black bag has vanished.

Runaways - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Setrakian was born in 1921 and taken to Treblinka when he is 18-years old, that should be in 1939. The episode timeline states that he's taken to Treblinka's in 1944, which would make him 24/25 years old in this scene. (00:08:00 - 00:09:00)

Runaways - S1-E5

Factual error: Abraham's family is taken to the concentration camp Treblinka in 1944, but Treblinka's camp only operated until October 1943. (00:07:50 - 00:09:00)

Night Zero - S1-E1

Factual error: They're handling The Box/coffin in the warehouse. Eph says it's 2.7m (9 ft) tall and from the looks it has about 1x1m base. So volume is around 2.7 cubic meters. The coffin is filled with soil which has density of ~1200 kg/m3. So in real life the coffin with its contents would weigh around 3200 kg or 3.2 metric tons, making it impossible to handle by hand. The wooden coffin would also break very easily if tried to lift with that amount of soil in it. The antique hinges, and that lone latch on the inside, are the obvious weak points of the construction and would break/give in on the real life. Also later on the episode when "The Box" goes missing Eph is mentioning it weighs only 500 lbs (~225 kg). (00:34:15)
