La Gran Mentira - S1-E8

Factual error: When the news reporter Valeria comes to Pablo to say that Pacho did it, she arrives in an E39 BMW 5 series from 1995. Gustavo was killed in 1990.

The Palace in Flames - S1-E4

Audio problem: Escobar and his family climb into a helicopter. From the sound effects, the rotor is spinning full speed, but you can see from the shadow on ground the blades are not turning at all. (00:20:40)

The Sword of Simón Bolivar - S1-E2

Factual error: Murphy is traveling with his wife by plane to Colombia from Miami. The aircraft belongs to US Airways, an airline that has never flown commercially to Colombia. Later in the same scene Murphy tells his wife that they must be flying over the Amazon. That region is at the extreme south of the country bordering Peru and Brazil. Some scenes later the couple is at immigration at Eldorado (the name is visible in a window), the main airport of Bogota, the capital city which is located at the center of the country. The Amazon is a couple of flight hours away due southeast so it would be ridiculous to overfly the river or region to land in Bogota. (00:02:00 - 00:03:00)

Suggested correction: Murphy is no expert on Colombian geography. At this point he has never been to the country, much less understand if he was flying over the Amazon.

Descenso - S1-E1

Factual error: They go bowling in episode 1 and it shows USBC approved bowling pins. USBC wasn't established until 2005. (00:19:50)
