Chapter 1 - S1-E1

Plot hole: The protagonist gets in the exclusive, multi-millionaire, invites-only auction because the invitation is on a printed letter that he faked. This means that the guards at the entrance don't have a guest list to check, and since nobody knows who this person is, the staff does run a background check on his identity when he makes the first outrageous bid...by looking his name up on Wikipedia. That's mighty low standards of security, especially for an auction that was supposed to be for a selected audience and the most important in France.

In Seldon's Shadow - S2-E1

Factual error: Season 2, Episode 1: Cleon is fighting some "ninja" warriors. One of them slices part of an android's head clean off, below the right eye. When the android is next seen - with part of its head cut off - the slice is above the right eye. The right eye is fine.

Country Dean - S1-E14

Factual error: Bessie says she was going to study veterinary medicine at Texas A and M. That would have been approximately 1940. Neither women nor people of colour were admitted to TAMU until 1963 so she could not have even been able to apply.

Battle Scars - S1-E7

4400 picture

Great Expectations - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: One of the 4400 now has an apartment and shows off her new darkroom to a friend. It has a sliding door at the entrance. In a later scene she is in the darkroom and her friend enters. But this time the door is a regular one that swings. In truth, neither of these are typical of a darkroom, as darkrooms have a light lock entry. Either double doors or a U-turn entry to prevent light from getting in.

Enter Number Two - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Mare and the Chief of Police are outside talking in the rain under umbrellas. They put away their umbrellas, although there is still the sound of rain, but neither Mare nor the Chief of Police is getting wet. (00:54:37 - 00:57:07)

Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Factual error: The navigation software "What3Words" is featured. Apparently the words "flop, sponge, knee" point to a storage facility in London. In reality, they actually point to somewhere near the city of McGrath, Alaska. "Hunch, bumpy, strut" are also mentioned, which actually point to somewhere near Paraburdoo, a town in Western Australia, definitely not a forest in London as depicted in the episode.

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Character mistake: Richie Gulliver is referred to as Rory Gulliver on the newspaper headline. As he's supposedly a very well-known Member of the Scottish Parliament, it's unlikely a newspaper would make a mistake like this.
