Chapter One: MADMAX - S2-E1

Factual error: During the police pursuit in Pittsburgh, the officers are wearing shoulder speaker/microphone handsets. The models are the Motorola Saber radio, which wasn't introduced until 1989, while the season takes place in 1984.

Other mistake: In the beginning when Kali and her gang are running from the police in Pittsburgh and she "collapses" the tunnel, her 008 tattoo is shown this way so we can read it as such, but it should in fact be read 800 to be the correct way. (00:03:15)

Revealing mistake: When Bob and Joyce have lunch, Bob pops open a can of soda (which is period appropriate). The scene cuts to Joyce, then back to Bob. It is clear from how he is holding the can, and how he pretends to drink from it, that his newly opened soda is actually empty.

Chapter One: MADMAX - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Will is in the hospital, talking about being frozen, they cut to the hallway and the lights on the suspended ceiling are 2' x 4' LED lights that didn't come out until the 2000s.

Suggested correction: There is nothing to indicate they are LED lights. They appear to be translucent panels illuminated by fluorescent lights.
