Away with the Fairies - S1-E8

Factual error: When Miss Charlesworth asks where everybody has gone and Letitia answers, you can get a good view of her desk, sporting above it amongst many photos also an illustration surely out of place in 1928: the "We can do it!" girl created by J. Howard Miller in 1942 and more or less apocryphally identified with Rosie the Riveter, a feminist icon that is quite specific to WW2. (00:22:10)

Chapter 5 - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Assane gives his boy a gift, look at Claire's necklace when she starts getting defensive about the 'doctor's appointment'. The chain is caught on the collar and tucked all the way up next to her shoulder in some shots and normally down in a V in the rest. (00:07:40)

Morton's Fork - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Greta sits down with the shotgun, it is pointing directly at Lou, horizontally angled. However, after a cut, the gun is suddenly pointing diagonally, at an angle. It is also strange that Lou, a former police officer, doesn't caution his novice granddaughter against pointing a loaded gun at him. (00:40:15)

Ashes, Ashes - S1-E6

The Cat Who Cried Wolf - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: Magnum gives chase to the person who escaped from the house with the dead body.

The Con Is On - S1-E1

Partners, Am I Right? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Kate goes to see the LARPers at the park to track down the trick arrows, her cross-body leather strap changes direction repeatedly. At first, it hangs from Kate's right shoulder to her left hip, but when Kate asks about the cop in their group, the strap hangs from her left shoulder. Then the leather strap reverts to the original way, only to switch yet again after the fist bump. None of the shots are flipped. (00:20:10)
