Other mistake: Magnum is shown in Captain Greene's office in uniform. He is wearing a US Navy Parachuteist Badge, his SEAL trident, and has the rank of Lieutenant. In the show intro section, he is always shown wearing just the trident, and has the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Was he demoted? (00:03:15)

Magnum P.I. (2018)
20th Nov 2019
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
Ne'e aku, ne'e mai ke one o Punahoa - S10-E8
Other mistake: When a helicopter encounters a problem and declares an emergency, the pilot declares a Mayday and says the craft is N-9128R. This is false. The registration on the helicopter is shown as N-437MY. (00:01:28)
29th Jul 2019
Rim of the World (2019)
Other mistake: The girl turns on all generators in the basement of the JPL building. Yet there is no power to the basement where she is. Just flashes of light, highlighting the suspense. There is power everywhere else. (01:23:10)
Suggested correction: The building is severely damaged. There could be several reasons why the power in the basement isn't working.
You have a point. Thanks.

Dimension 404 (2017)
Other mistake: There is a countdown on the movie screen. It is then reflected in Dusty's glasses. But the numbers are not reversed in the glasses. (00:41:00)
21st Jun 2019
Designated Survivor (2016)
Other mistake: There is a shot of the NIH building. The lintel says The National Institutes of Health, the correct name. Cut to a shot supposedly inside the building, where a wall hanging says National Institute of Health. So does a brochure given to an actor. (00:17:00)
18th Jun 2019
Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation (2019)
Other mistake: A Mexican pilot based in Ensenada is interviewed. He owns a 1983 Cessna 172 aircraft. When they show it in the air, it is a 2005 Cessna 182 based in San Antonio per the FAA database. A US registry aircraft would not be based in Mexico, owned by a Mexican pilot. (00:11:20)
4th Apr 2019
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
Other mistake: Lou Grover is searching an apartment when he comes across five silver-topped drug vials in a bag. He reaches in and takes four of them, and then declares he has found the drug dealer's inventory. Why did he leave one behind? (00:27:10)
4th Apr 2019
The Enemy Within (2019)
Eye of Horus - S1-E6
Other mistake: A bomber leisurely throws a backpack into a trashcan, which explodes moments later. It does not seem to weigh much, and is easily handled by one hand without effort. Later, we learn that the bomb used about 100 pounds of ammonium nitrate. There could not have been 100 pounds of ammonium nitrate in that backpack considering how easily it was handled. (00:01:30)
29th Mar 2019
Magnum P.I. (2018)
Other mistake: A mayday call is received. It is shown on the moving map display as originating to starboard of the boat Magnum and Higgins are on. They promise to go help but turn to port. (00:01:50)
1st Mar 2019
MacGyver (2016)
Lidar + Rogues + Duty - S3-E16
Other mistake: MacGyver arrives at an airplane crash site. It is smoking. Yet this is supposedly days after the crash. And there is no evidence of fire anywhere. (00:11:25)
22nd Feb 2019
Project Blue Book (2019)
Other mistake: A woman drops a camera and retrieves it after talking to two people. She then takes 15 steps to get back to where she was on a level path. If you drop a camera on a level path it will not roll that distance unless it is thrown down the path. (00:12:20)
25th Jan 2019
Supergirl (2015)
Other mistake: J'onn J'onzz starts a private Investigation company. He is shown looking at the new PI license he just placed on the wall. But the certificate says it is a renewal. (00:05:30)
21st Jan 2019
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
Ke iho mai nei ko luna - S9-E13
Other mistake: A Five-0 member makes an atmosphere check of the Neptune 1 air. It shows 0.7% oxygen, 80% helium, and 16% nitrogen. A previous check had shown these were the only gases present. So what happened to the other 2.3% of the air? Helium and Nitrogen should have been proportionately higher so as to add up to 100%. (00:29:45)
16th Jan 2019
Project Blue Book (2019)
Other mistake: The West Virginia News publishes a headline about the Flatwood Monster dated October 18, 1952. The incident took place on September 12, which was 36 days before. It does not make sense that a newspaper would print a headline story 36 days after it happened. (00:25:20)
14th Jan 2019
SEAL Team (2017)
Other mistake: Sonny discovers Lisa's training manual, and it says "Officer Candidates School." It should be "Officer Candidate School." It even says so on the seal right there on the same cover. (00:11:20)
15th Nov 2018
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
Pua a'e la ka uwahi o ka moe - S9-E7
Other mistake: This episode shows a newspaper article about a Rolls Royce Phantom involved in an accident/murder. The article specifies it is a black car with a red interior. When the car is dug up, it has a black interior. (00:37:45)
5th Nov 2018
MacGyver (2016)
Dia de Muertos + Sicarios + Family - S3-E5
Other mistake: A caption is misspelled towards the end - it says "cementario" when it should be "cementerio". (00:36:20)
11th Oct 2018
The Man in the High Castle (2015)
Other mistake: John is promoted to Oberst Gruppenfeuhrer and assumes the uniform of such. He is soon after promoted to interim Reich Marshal. And then he is subsequently fully promoted to Reich Marshal. But he continues to wear the rank insignia of an Oberst Gruppenfeuhrer.
Suggested correction: John does eventually put on the insignia befitting a Reichsmarschall. It's safe to assume he didn't immediately put it on, either because it took a short time to produce new insignia and send it to him (they wouldn't stock insignia for a rank only a few people hold), or because he was still only acting Reichsmarschall.
10th May 2018
Timeless (2016)
The King of the Delta Blues - S2-E6
Other mistake: We see a character get shot and falling forward with back arched, as if the shot came from behind. Moments later we see the shooter and the shot came from the front. (00:31:25)
