The Fall picture

The Gates of Light - S3-E3

Other mistake: When Spector is sitting up with the help of his nurse, the subtitles say [Spencer groans]; I think they mean "Spector", and he was the only man in that scene. It makes sense that he was grunting while sitting up.

Other mistake: In the ship the guy who wanted to kill Jane stops bleeding from his shoulder. And there wasn't any sign of blood on his jumpsuit when he was fighting with Jane either.

The ABC Murders picture

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Other mistake: After the arrest of "ABC" and a brief scene with the interview to Betty's family, there's a prolonged close-up of a newspaper with the date "24 April 1933." Besides the article on the serial killer, there's a headline that says "German ministers in Rome - Uproar as Strong Arm men pack benches." The body of the article though talks about the Persian parlament, and the prime minister mentioned is "Dr. Mossadeg." Mohammad Mossadegh's public office as PM and his visit in the US mentioned in the article happened in the 50s.

Other mistake: Angela keeps watching by rewinding the same scenes of the news of the data storage facilities collapsing from the explosions which targeted 71 facilities. The explosions look controlled like the demo of the old Las Vegas hotels and casinos. Data storage facilities are concrete/metal buildings with very few windows. The building she's watching collapse appears to be an apartment building with hundreds of large apartment style windows. (00:25:00 - 00:27:00)

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)
