The Halcyon picture

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Factual error: Billy is called up into a specific unit of the Royal Artillery. This didn't happen. He would first have been sent to a Royal Artillery training depot and only after training would he have been assigned to a unit.

The Deuce picture

Show and Prove - S1-E2

Other mistake: The sign behind James Franco on the mirror behind the bar says, "Dinner Service Until 10pm". It's a modern paper printout and also a modern font, from a personal computer / printer which nobody would have at that time. (00:07:00 - 00:08:00)

King of Camp - S1-E5

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman picture

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The protagonist finally receives the Anmitsu, breaking his orgasmic trepidation. In the close-up, the tray is really close to the teacup, but in the following shot it's definitely further away, to the point that Kantaro in facts moves it to the right, in the same position shown in the close-up. (00:12:15)

Knight's & Magic picture

Show generally

Other mistake: You don't have to look further than the name; the title of the series is "Knight's and Magic" instead of "Knights and Magic".

Girth, Wind & Fire - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Josh is asking his dad if the cops were hot, from the side he's leaning forwards with both elbows on his knees, then from the front he's more upright with one hand on his knee, arm bent out to the side. (00:09:45)

The Good Doctor picture

Frontline, Part 2 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Andrews tells Mrs. Cross via video chat that her husband has blood in his NG tube, the clock in the top left corner of Mrs. Cross' phone says 5:09. Two shots later, it has suddenly changed to 5:01. A few moments later it changes to 5:10, then back to 5:01 and then for some reason to 4:53 at the end of the scene.

Himmel und Hölle picture

Show generally

Factual error: Johann Eck is dressed as a cardinal and Albrecht von Brandenburg addresses him as "Your Eminence" and kisses his ring. In reality, Eck was not a cardinal. Albrecht, however, was. It should be Eck showing deference to him, not vice versa. Albrecht was also only thirty, half the age of the actor playing him.
