Nanatsu no Taizai - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth starts weeping, her bodysuit is torn above her left breast with a single tear. Post-credits Meliodas asks her to join him; now that torn spot is split in two - the first time the bit of fabric that separates the two spaces was already severed. (00:17:40 - 00:22:30)

Joan of Arcadia picture

P.O.V. - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Adam gets angry at Joan in the art room because of the camera, his half-made sculpture is sitting on the desk. When he grabs his bag toward the end of the scene, he accidentally knocks it over, unbalancing it. But in the next shot it's balanced again, then suddenly it's unbalanced. This happens several times between shots, and can even be seen in one shot before he knocks it over.

Lidsville picture

Show generally

Revealing mistake: During the opening theme, when the children are watching the magician, you can tell they were not actually filmed together. The magician scenes are filmed more professionally using a sharper tape or film image, whereas the children scenes look more like a standard fuzzier film-type such as on a projector (primarily used at that time).

The Queen Must Die - S2-E12

Factual error: In the last minutes, the show looks forward to future challenges, in effect a preview of the never-made 3rd series. The oracle says they must find "the golden fleece, woven long ago by the Stygian witches." But the golden fleece, or indeed any fleece, is not a woven fabric. (Today's fleece is a modern invention).

El doble - S1-E5

Other mistake: Jesus leaves his home with a double barrel break-action shotgun and an ammunition belt holding extra shot-shells. In the next scene Jesus is walking in the street with the shotgun and no ammunition belt, it magically vanished. The shotgun only has a capacity for 2 shot-shells, then it needs to be reloaded, or it can be reloaded after one is only fired, that procedure is called a top-off. He fires 1 round at the mayor and two inside Elena's home which makes three. He never reloads. (00:32:50 - 00:34:40)

Home Groan - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: In episode 3-10, Gary's mother Lois is the victim of fraud. He mistakes his mother as a shooter of the conman. The headline specifically states the shooter is an Illinois woman. However in this episode convicts escape to Gary's hometown of Hickory, Indiana. The episode depicts his parents residing there, as though they have always been there.

Moonlight picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When we see Coraline in Mick's vision of when he was taking her dress off at a party, her tattoo is under one of her shoulders (I think it was her left one) but later on in the series we see Morgan/Coraline wipe off the make-up on where her tattoo is...on the opposite side.

Castle Rock picture

Harvest - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Ruth Deaver is helping Alan Pangborn put on his tie. The camera is facing Ruth's back and we see Alan's face in the mirror. The camera then switches angles to face Alan's back and Ruth's face. Alan's collar which was popped straight up from the first angle is now perfectly down over his newly tied tie from the second angle. (00:24:55)

Dune picture

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Other mistake: The very first word of the opening title contains an embarrassing typo, considering it's the name of the main character: It reads "Maud'Dib", instead of "Muad'Dib".
