Dummy - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Ned and Chuck are making a pie, Ned picks up the unfinished pie crust off the counter so Chuck can put more flour down. After she sifts the large pile of flour on to the counter, Ned moves to put the crust back down and now it is easily twice the size it was when he picked it up. There is no way for him to have rolled the crust larger off camera because Chuck was in the way and that was the whole reason he picked the crust up.

Continuity mistake: In Episode 5, "Live Hard, Die Young and Leave A Good Looking Corpse": As Lillie is preparing to cut Zane's throat with her fingernail, she stands with her hand raised above her head for a while. When seen from the front, her hand is balled into a fist with the index finger extended, but when seen from the back all her fingers are extended. The view alternates like this several times, and each time the hand varies between fist and outstretched fingers.
