New Amsterdam

Show generally

Factual error: This series uses a beautifully-rendered CGI sequence of New Amsterdam C. 1650 morphing into New York City of the present day. The Native American tribe we see at the start of the sequence, however, never inhabited the New England area. They look more like the Lakota plains tribes seen in Dances With Wolves. The North-Eastern tribes didn't build teepees as seen here, either. The dwellings should be longhouse wigwams made of wood.

Continuity mistake: At the end, Amsterdam is sitting in a restaurant/bar smoking a hookah. When the shot cuts to a different angle, the hookah has vanished altogether and he's holding a glass of wine instead.
