Lethal Weapon picture

Legends of Tomorrow picture

Left Behind - S1-E9

Factual error: Ray, Sara, and Kendra are Left Behind in 1958. However, 10 weeks later Sara and Kendra are playing the board game "The Game of Life." The modern version, as seen, didn't come out until 1960 (previously it was called The Checkered Game of Life and doesn't resemble the modern version).

Queen of the South picture

Billete de Magia - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When James is taking pictures from a car as men are entering a hotel, in the shots of him head on he is using a Canon EOS camera with a 70-200mm white lens. In shots from the side he is using a Nikon camera with an older Nikon lens. (00:27:35)

Luke Cage picture

Take It Personal - S1-E10

Plot hole: They only take out the shrapnel from the gut shot - they never deal with the shrapnel in his shoulder at all. (00:04:25 - 00:05:00)

MacGyver picture

Seeds + Permafrost + Feather - S3-E17

Factual error: Bozer and for that matter I would assume all of the team went to a spycraft academy. A basic subject in any of such academies is surveillance, including proper techniques to follow and stake out someone. Bozer being so inept at tracking MacGyver's father is inconceivable given their training.

Continuity mistake: When Dmitri and the doctor first try to get Vanessa to feed on human blood, the blood bag keeps switching from full to half-empty from one shot to the next. (00:16:05)

Exfil - S1-E2

Other mistake: Issac is on the phone with his boss and he is holding his phone upside down, noticeable because his otter box case is upside down. (00:14:41)

SS-GB picture

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Other mistake: The German officer in the pub is described in the credits as an unteroffizier (corporal or, generically, NCO). He actually wears the uniform of an oberleutnant (lieutenant), a commissioned officer.

Colony picture

A Brave New World - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Will tackles Andrew, his shirt is lifted up exposing a blue undershirt that's tucked in, which is also behind his gun. There's two shots of this, but in the next shot, right before Will punches Andrew, we don't see the undershirt.
