Episode #4.2 - S4-E2
Revealing mistake: Camille puts the name of the victim and "Watergate" as search terms, and manages to find the relevant news item from the past. The URL of the website though is just the one of the (fictitious) homepage (watergatenews.org), and not of a specific article. Moreover, the article is half relevant info, and half generic guide about surfing with a brisk cut from one to the other. (00:21:50)

9th Apr 2020
Episode #4.1 - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey sets the popcorn for Harry, Harry in the last shot is closer than in the previous - which could make sense if we assume he scuttled closer during the split cut to Kris Marshall, but the light on the couch changes between shots as well. (00:51:15)

(00:20:50)
