Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Factual error: Ada is watching a movie and when asked "tell me the man's name" says "Rudolph Valentino." Valentino was largely unknown in 1919, only appearing in bit parts. She is also eating popcorn. This was not done in movie theaters until the 1930, unless you brought your own. Only street vendors sold popcorn.
Suggested correction: This is from episodes #1.2 and two separate mistakes. But being "largely unknown" doesn't mean she couldn't know his name. And who's to say she didn't buy the popcorn from a street vendor? You don't see others eating popcorn, so there's no suggestion she bought it there.
He used the name Rudolph Valentino for the first time in 1921.
That's not true since he was credited as Rudolph as early as 1917.
