Fargo picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Most of Season 1 takes place in January of 2006, while Season 2 takes place in March of 1979. Molly mentions near the beginning of Season 1 that she's 31, and her father confirms this in episode 10 by mentioning that she was 4 years old during the events of the Sioux Falls massacre (season 2). In season 2, Molly's mother mentioned in episodes 1 and 4 that she's 6. It's also revealed in a flashback scene in episode 10 that she graduated high school in 1991 (most people are 17 or 18 when graduating high school). If you do the math, you'll see that there's an inconsistency in her age between Seasons 1 and 2. Apparently, 2 years were added to her age in Season 2.

The Assassin - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: After Coco Marchand's emergency surgery for a serious gunshot wound to the chest, she is seen recovering in bed, in a coma, on a respirator, possibly permanently brain-damaged, and in critical condition. A few hours later, when Eldridge Palmer is sitting by her bedside, Coco is suddenly without the respirator and there is no physical sign (bandages, tubes, stitches, bloodstains, etc.) whatsoever of her just having had extensive thoracic surgery for a near-fatal injury. There is only an IV line in her arm. This is before The Master arrives and revives her, and Palmer did not know if/when The Master would come, so he would not have had the respirator removed.

Re-Entry - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Molly is in space, alone, a man she knew is on The Other Side of a door that has a circular window in it. The man uses his finger to draw the words "HELP ME." When we first see the words, they are legible and about a third of the way below the top of the window, but the next time the words are much higher up and hard to read, and the third time they are now back to the original place.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In S:1 Ep.10 Maddie says she'll be 15 in a week. Season 2 picks up 6 months later. In S2ep5 Bosch uses Maddie's birthday to access a computer. Password is 01/10/01. This makes the date sometime in July of 2016. Then in S2ep6 George Irving is killed, and the end of watch broadcast lists his date of death as 7/24/2015. This error is reinforced in S2ep10 when they show a plaque being mounted to honor George.
