An Affair to Dismember - S1-E8

Audio problem: When Kyle says "That's a good freaking question! But we need to kill ALL of them", her line is obviously dubbed in. It's a little too loud and has a completely different sound to it compared to all her other dialogue in the scene.

Pay in Pain - S1-E7

Audio problem: When Mackey is interrogating Leon the camera is pointed at Mackey as he asks Leon "why are you and the other shop owners all telling the same lie?" The camera then switches over Mackey's right shoulder so we can see Leon's reaction to Mackey's question. Look closely at Mackey's mouth in this shot, you can see him mouthing the exact words that he just spoke.

Presumed Innocent - S2-E7

Audio problem: After Deputy Lin drops the line "we'll get the results back fast," Sheriff Alex Romero responds with "I'm not sure how much nail clippings are gonna tell us." As he sits down, his mouth movement matches the audio, but when the angle changes, his mouth isn't moving at all. (00:09:55)

Episode #3.3 - S3-E3

Audio problem: In a conversation with Colin, Zoƫ says "What is the point of it being able to do all this stuff if we can't see the results?" The camera then cuts away from her face, she continues "We need to find out who [name I won't embarrass myself by misspelling] is talking to." This line has been dubbed in, as it is said while the actress' face is off-screen and in a completely different tone of voice. (00:35:30)

Natalie Luca (No. 184) - S4-E12

Audio problem: At the end of the episode when Reddington goes to see Natalie Luca (behind glass), he tells her that the woman she killed at the massage parlour was an associate of his. When Natalie says "She said if I didn't kill him, she would tell Hawthorne where to find us", her lips don't match what she's saying in the reflection of the glass.

Perfect School (1) - S3-E11

Audio problem: When Brian escapes his room and the headmaster with security is checking the rooms, if you look very carefully while the camera is going to Brian's room, you can see the headmaster hitting the door with his hand out, but the sound sounds like it would if he were hitting it with his fist.

Line of Duty picture

Season 4 generally

Audio problem: The mechanical Simplex door locks make electronic bleeping noises when the buttons are pressed. As these are mechanical locks with no electronic components, the most you should hear is a click as each button is pressed.

Lie to Me picture

Fold Equity - S2-E9

Audio problem: When Loker receives a video file from Lightman, the shot changes to face Loker and Ria. There are about nine more "dings" that indicate a new item has arrived, but after the final ding is heard, the shot goes back to face the monitor and there are only five items on the screen, with more coming in.

Absolute Zero (Pilot) - S1-E1

Audio problem: The scene where Tom goes to his home, to be confronted by his wife, the dog, and another man holding a shotgun. The other man has just told Tom that either he walks away or he gets shot in the leg. There is then the sound of the dog growling for several seconds, but the dog's mouth/muzzle isn't moving, and it isn't growling.

A Dark Knight: A Beautiful Darkness - S4-E13

Audio problem: Near the start, as Gordon tells the crook "how about you exercise your right to remain silent", the shot cuts and we can hear the audio from the different take which hasn't been spliced in properly. As a result the line actually is heard as "right to remain silent-silent."

Suggested correction: That was Jim's car starting first so it could back up. The second car starting was that of Mr Williams after he was in the car.
