The Lost Soul of Herman Lester - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: Ray Lester is sitting at a table wearing a white hoodie, chatting with his mother and Detective Valens. Ray's empty right hand is lying on the table, with a closed bottle of water on the floor beside his chair. It cuts for exactly 2 seconds to Detective Rush signaling Valens to bring the mom into the next room. When it turns back to the three, Ray Lester is now holding the open Poland Spring water bottle in his right hand, on the table. Much too quick to lift and open in 2 seconds. (00:28:03)

The Promise - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode the date "October 23, 2003" appears onscreen, which is the night of the party where Laurie Dunne died. However, shortly after, we see the officer typing up the accidental death report and the year of death reads as "2004" and also later when Laurie's father shows the laptop to Stillman and Lilly, we see the date stamp "2004:10:23" on the image that Laurie had emailed.

Super Grover

8 Years - S3-E11

Factual error: The opening scene is identified as taking place in 1980, yet the characters are singing along to "No Surrender" which wasn't released until 1984.
