Kindred: The Embraced picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In Episode 5, "Live Hard, Die Young and Leave A Good Looking Corpse": As Lillie is preparing to cut Zane's throat with her fingernail, she stands with her hand raised above her head for a while. When seen from the front, her hand is balled into a fist with the index finger extended, but when seen from the back all her fingers are extended. The view alternates like this several times, and each time the hand varies between fist and outstretched fingers.

Blood Drive - S2-E6

Character mistake: Zayday makes incorrect statements about blood types. She mentions that, since Chanel #5 is type O-, her parents must also be O-; in actuality, they could each be type A or B (genotypes AO or BO, respectively) and could also have Rh+ blood as long as they also carry the recessive Rh- allele. Zayday also says that the child of two O+ parents must be O+, but actually the child could also be O- (again, if the parents carry the Rh- allele).

Neverland - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Captain Morrow welds the door to lock Zevari out of the Mother room, the computer screen reads "Crew Status?.. Crew Dead." In the next angle, this same text is reflected on Morrow's head, but it still reads the same way. The text should be flipped like a mirror since it's a reflection off his skin. (00:27:35)

The Sandman picture

The Doll's House - S1-E7

Character mistake: When Rose and her friend board the plane, the stewardess offers them champagne. When she hands them their glasses, it is evident that the wine is a non-sparkling white wine, as there are no bubbles rising in the glasses. This is possibly a mistake by the stewardess, but not one that a professional would be likely to make.

The Exorcist picture

Chapter Four: The Moveable Feast - S1-E4

Audio problem: When Father Keane is speaking with Mother Bernadette outside, when Mother Bernadette says "The gift doesn't reside in you or me", and "Where you coerce and compel, we use compassion, forgiveness, and patience", her lips do not match what she is saying.

The Cold - S2-E1

Audio problem: The zombie chasing the man gets tangled on a wire fence and gets shot in the head. When the bullet impacts his skull he makes a grunting pain noise just like everybody else who gets shots in movies makes the same grunt. First of all zombies don't feel, so how can he express pain, and secondly when people get shot and die they don't grunt, they drop dead. (00:09:30 - 00:10:00)

The Addams Family Goes to School - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: After Mr. Hilliard goes through gate and nears the house, it's really at the real house. A second later, he's approaching the now-familiar front porch on the studio set. This is easy to tell because the layout of the two porches are radically different.

Pilot - S1-E1

Factual error: There is no way cops would just walk up and open fire on a suspect unannounced, not knowing if he is armed or not, and with an innocent bystander so close.

Being Human picture

The Pack - S3-E4

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Mitchell first visits McNair's van, Mitchell's reflection is visible in the window on the left side of the screen during the shot where he first opens the van door. The vampire lore of the show informs the viewer many, many times that vampires (such as Mitchell) and ghosts cannot be seen in reflections, pictures, or videos (their image "cannot be captured"). The reflection can be seen for roughly 20 seconds. (00:23:20)

Scarlet Cinema - S2-E16

Character mistake: Ryan tells Jack that Darius turned into a werewolf right in front of his and Micki's eyes. Ryan and Micki never witnessed Darius' transformation into a werewolf at all.

Dead Set picture

Episode 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Whenever the Big Brother eye is shown, it is grey and white. But there is a shot of a woman leaving the house in the first episode in which you can see the eye from Big Brother 9 (which is shattered with one red shard) on a platform at the bottom of the stairs.

More Dead Set mistakes
Dracula picture

The Dark Compass - S1-E3

Other mistake: At the end, when the reflection of burned Lucy still shows her beautiful, Dracula's reflection shows him as he is seen; not old and ugly as in his usual mirror reflections.

Lovecraft Country picture

Show generally

Factual error: In Massachusetts, Atticus, Leti and George are attacked by the local sheriff and his deputies, who are patrolling the county roads. In Massachusetts, sheriffs run the county jails, but they do not (and did not) handle routine policing, which is the responsibility only of municipal police departments.
