Episode #7.1 - S7-E1

Character mistake: After Zammo has walked Jackie to Brookdale he is chased off by Gluxo. During the chase Gluxo falls over he calls out "you wait, I'll have you Mcguire."

Factual error: When someone is burying a dead body, one person alone digs a hole big enough to bury a fully grown adult with a garden spade usually in about five minutes. There is also no sign of the earth that has been displaced by the body.

Common mistakes

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Generally, people aren't thinking too forwardly or rationally when someone they're pursuing is about to get away. Their lizard-brain just thinks "getting away -> chase," not considering how unlikely (though not impossible) it is for them to either catch up with the car before it fully accelerates or when it makes a turn, then either pull the driver out of the car or jump on the car.

The person acts on instinct. Many people would do the same in real life.
