Drunken Watermelon - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When CG is done talking with Lu Xin at the diner, she grabs a glass and drinks from it. During this action, Lu Xin is eating a fry in the first shot, but in the second he's waiting on her with the left hand on his clenched fist. (00:26:20)

Misspent Youth - S1-E2

Factual error: Kai checks out his phone repeatedly and the date indicated is "Wed, Aug 22." Just a scene after, Jenny is shown with an August 2019 calendar in the background. August 22 2019 was a Thursday, not a Wednesday. (00:06:00)

Misspent Youth - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Agent CG is having her morning jog and there's a sizeable sweat spot on her top. That is, until she gets to the park for her scene with Mr. Master of disguise himself captain Fletcher: at that point her sweat stain reduces size considerably. (00:09:45)

Fire Chicken - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Opening her last stand against Uncle Six's henchwoman, Jenny tosses her a bottle of oil. On the wooden chopping board there's a big knife, that disappears once Jenny waves the frying pan around, re-appears a moment after, and so on. (00:32:00)

Fire Chicken - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When CG pours a drink to the retired agent saying "C'mon, Jack", Jack keeps his hands off the table in the close-up, while he's holding the glass as she pours in the shot right after. (00:36:20)

Fire Chicken - S1-E3

Plot hole: Unable to locate "the bald chef", Uncle Six orders his men to bring him all the bald chefs of Chinatown. And they do! His goons round them all up, in a single sweep. They fit in a little van. So...in the whole San Francisco Chinatown, over 30,000 inhabitants, there are only literally a dozen bald (or balding or shaven, when you look at who they got) guys working in a kitchen.

A Twisting Snake - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When the protagonist and Uncle Six battle on top of the escalator, Six gets thrown off, landing downstairs. Very much like a pro wrestling Irish whip, it's quite noticeable how the victim is running towards the move before he gets pulled, with a cut to try to hide the lack of any push from the other hand or forceful twist. (00:12:15)

A Twisting Snake - S1-E4

Plot hole: CG is worried that if Kai phones her, he might blow her cover. Kai is no suspicious character and it's established that they know each other after the windshield errand. On the other hand, she engaged in a fight with several thugs and the very boss of the Triad who all have seen her, her cover should be pretty much blown already at that point. It's also quite funny how she made sure to meet with the Captain in secluded locations during long jogs, but then kept in her desk police files about the suspects! Some undercover cop.

Codladh Sámh - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In the swordfight set in 1519, Ying Ying offers the Monk Piece to her adversary. Depending on the shot, she is simply holding it in front of his face, or also pinning his arm down with her own. (00:10:10)

Sammo

Codladh Sámh - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Kai is explaining to the gang the whole Wu story. When CG says "He's telling the truth" she is leaning against the table grabbing the edge in the back view, but leaning on it with her flat palms in the other shots. (00:13:00)

Sammo

Gu Assassins - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Lu Xin is downstairs playing with his lighter. The first shot ends with the lighter held still with the decorated side towards him, while the following one has the the solid gold side face him. Moreover, when Jenny sits down he goes from having both hands on the lighter, to one hand on his bicep. (00:18:30)
