Party Lines - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: Agent Wells is wearing a green jacket with a black bag. In the next shot, she is wearing an orange jacket with a red bag on her back. (00:36:50)

The Ninth Seat - S1-E17

Factual error: In the opening scene, Abe Leonard meets with a terrorist leader in what is supposed to be Iraq. However, during their conversation, their breath can be seen, even though Iraq has a hot, dry climate. Even at night, the temperature rarely drops low enough for your breath to condensate, let alone in an urban area during daytime.

The First Day - S1-E2

Tom Kirkman: D.C. police called the White House switchboard, wanted to confirm that you worked here. What happened this morning?
Seth Wright: What happened in Michigan. What always happens. When people don't know who their enemy is, they start with people who look like me.

Answer: It's a recurring theme on the show. Characters come and go depending on the storyline. General Cochrane, Tyler Richmond, Abe Leonard, etc.

Answer: Apparently the characters were eliminated due to cost-cutting measures by Netflix and after salary negotiations with the actors failed.
