Suggested correction: Rabies is curable if you are infected, as long as you don't show symptoms. You can get treatment - the sooner, the better. Also, the further away the wound that infected you is from your brain, the longer time you have until symptoms show.

All In - S3-E1

Factual error: This episode reveals that Winston is colorblind, seeing green as brown. But later in the series, Winston becomes a cop, working for the LAPD. This wouldn't have happened because candidates for the LAPD are put through a color blindness test where they are required to quickly and accurately identify colors. Winston would have failed and would not have been allowed to join the LAPD.
