All of Us Are Dead picture

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: Throughout season 1: The emergency workers are sometimes seen wearing a black jacket with an English spelling mistake on it. It reads "FIRE EMS RESOUE." Obviously the last word should be "RESCUE."

Luther picture

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Other mistake: Ian is pointing a gun at Luther in the hotel. The maid starts to open the door from an adjoining room (roughly 4 meters away). Ian starts firing at the door, and Luther falls over on the spot he is standing on. Half a second later, Luther is through the door pushing the maid to the floor. What about the hail of bullets he must have had to go through to get to the door? (00:47:00)

The L Word picture

Season 3 generally

Other mistake: Given that Alice only stole some of Dana's ashes to scatter at the camp ground, the amount of ashes seen poured into the waterfall by all of the characters is totally unrealistic; much more, in fact, than what would equate to an entire cremated corpse.

Dracula picture

The Dark Compass - S1-E3

Other mistake: At the end, when the reflection of burned Lucy still shows her beautiful, Dracula's reflection shows him as he is seen; not old and ugly as in his usual mirror reflections.

Star Trek: Picard picture

Remembrance - S1-E1

Other mistake: Picard gives the mysterious girl some Earl Grey. She has it in hand only in one shot, the faraway one when the two Romulan servants are leaving. The way the scene goes, at no point during the whole scene does she have time to even take a sip. (00:19:05)

The Wonder Years picture

Heart of Darkness - S2-E1

Other mistake: During the 3-nightmare sequences, there are 25 students, with all desks full. However, 1 desk should have been left open as Kevin appears in the dreams, meaning there should only be 24 students.

The Flash picture

Things You Can't Outrun - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Cisco and Cailtin call Barry to tell him about the man with the gun, Cailtin says he has a gun. Cut to the cops pursuing him, the perp shoots at the cops, and one of them seems surprised that he has a gun. There's no way Caitlin could have known about the gun without the cop knowing (which would presumably have been relayed over police communications).

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka picture

Show generally

Other mistake: During the first dozen or so episodes, during the opening credits, Onizuka is shown spray-painting a picture of a woman on a wall, with the words "Love" and "Piece" written next to her. Obviously, "piece" is a mistranslation, and the wrong spelling. The correct text should read "Love" and "PEACE."

Mr. Robot picture

shutdown -r - S3-E10

Other mistake: In one of the previous episodes of season 3, Elliot threw out his garbage along with his Mr. Robot jacket at an inner city dump where people burn the trash in large dumpsters on the spot. The jacket was thrown into the flames. Now Whiterose's men home invaded Elliot's apartment looking for him, and they found the same jacket in his closet. Yes he could have had more than one but when he threw it out it symbolized him getting rid of the entire Mr. Robot idea. Why toss one and leave the others? (00:01:30 - 00:03:00)

Suggested correction: When Elliott is walking up to his apartment after he threw the jacket out the illegal trash workers dump the trash in front of his apartment and the jacket falls out. He was talking about deletion around this time.
