Prodigy - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Tanaka shows the picture of Jude as a newborn, the person seated nearest to Max is a blonde woman in a black suit. When Jude goes to play the piano, there is a man in a white lab coat sitting there. Max is sitting on the aisle and if someone came to switch seats they would pass in front of her; no one did. The man sticks around for a few shots, but when Lydecker sits next to Max the blonde woman is back. (00:08:50 - 00:10:00)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Logan hands Max a stack of Alina's photos including a filmstrip longer than the other photos.

Phoenix

Season 2 generally

Factual error: A major plot point for this season is that Max's genome has no "junk DNA." Instead, it's all coded for something. A standard human genome has about 95% junk DNA, with the remaining 5% coded for building proteins. However, research from the 1980s and 1990s indicates that junk DNA isn't junk at all, but rather explicit instructions to the cell on when and how to read the protein-building instructions. If Max doesn't have that, then her cells would never be able to build proteins and she would never have been born. Even though Max has extra coded DNA for an unknown purpose, there is still no way she could live without "junk DNA".

Red - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: If you watch Max's witness grab in slow motion, Bruno on the couch changes from lying head toward the door to crouching facing the other direction while the bike is spinning. (00:03:30)

Show generally

Question: This may seem a bit stupid, but I'm new to the show, and didn't start with the pilot: what is that place where Max, Cindy, Sketch, etc. hang out (Where Normal works)? Judging by the presence of lockers, I would assume it's a gym.

Answer: It's their job. They are bike messengers and have lockers to hold personal stuff.
