Fleabag picture

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Belinda and Fleabag are having a drink, Fleabag's hairstyle keeps changing in every shot: sometimes she has a bang of hair falling over her forehead, others not, others it's loose, others it's protruding slightly.

Palimpsest - S1-E6

Other mistake: During the credits, it lists Gloria Mundy as the actress who played Alison Araya. However, Araya is the actress's real name and Mundy is the character's name.

Shooter picture

Exfil - S1-E2

Other mistake: Issac is on the phone with his boss and he is holding his phone upside down, noticeable because his otter box case is upside down. (00:14:41)

More Shooter mistakes
Doctor Thorne picture

Show generally

Factual error: The story is set in the 1850s, but when Greshambury Manor is shown at night, it is obvious that the front of the building is illuminated by electric lights.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the original show we are led to believe that Lorelei lost her virginity to Christopher. But in this, during the late night gathering outside after the funeral, Lorelei's story about her father was about her losing her virginity to someone who wasn't Christopher. She got pregnant at the age of 16. We are to assume that she did not sleep with anyone immediately after Christopher. If the above is true, she didn't get pregnant when she lost her virginity. If she didn't get pregnant then she should've been safe with Christopher. What did the above were true, we would have heard about it. She would have told her daughter about how she lost her virginity.

American Crime Story picture

Alone - S2-E9

Factual error: You can see the Unicredit Tower on the Milan skyline - the episode should be set in 1997 but the unicredit tower was built in 2012. (00:31:00)

More Shades of Blue mistakes
Slasher picture

Show generally

Revealing mistake: As Sgt. Cain and Chief Lain stand by Marjorie's dead body lying on the hotel bed, discussing her death from an overdose, you can see her stomach rise and fall slightly, though she's supposed to be dead. (00:18:00 - 00:20:00)

Colony picture

A Brave New World - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Will tackles Andrew, his shirt is lifted up exposing a blue undershirt that's tucked in, which is also behind his gun. There's two shots of this, but in the next shot, right before Will punches Andrew, we don't see the undershirt.

Bull picture

Free Fall - S1-E16

Factual error: Almost all the people being shown skydiving have no experience doing it, but the instructor allows them to jump out of the plane unassisted after only giving a theoretic introduction into the subject. First time skydivers are always assisted in some fashion, usually through a tandem-jump or a parachute opened by a line attached to the plane.

SS-GB picture

Show generally

Factual error: The constables working at Scotland Yard are wearing the divisional letter 'S'. 'S' Division covered North West London, including Hampstead, Hendon and Golders Green. Its men wouldn't have been anywhere near Scotland Yard.

Apple Tree Yard picture

Show generally

Factual error: The judge requires £100,000 to be paid to the court in bail and Yvonne's husband later says he had to cash in bonds to get the money. In Britain, bail is not paid in advance. It is sufficient to prove that it is available if necessary and it is only required to be paid if the defendant later absconds.

Conviction picture

Enemy Combatant - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: Right after the scene in Wallace's office where the DHS tries to shut down Hayes' investigation, the scene shifts to a montage. Towards the end of it there's a loop: in the bottom left corner you can see someone on a scooter appear from the left, only to disappear a second later and reappear from where they'd come the first time. (00:20:00)

Thirteen picture

Show generally

Factual error: The Metropolitan Police isn't a national police force (except for close protection and anti-terrorist matters). It has no authority over other police forces. It doesn't take over criminal cases from other police forces. It hasn't even provided investigation teams on request for decades. Every force handles its own investigations. A Met chief superintendent and his team coming in, as depicted here, and taking over an Avon and Somerset investigation just wouldn't happen.
