Down Down Down - S1-E3

Stupidity: The gun stolen by the villain was designed by Batman, according to Luke Fox, in case the wrong person got a hold of the batsuit, which is bulletproof. As shown in the previous episode, the suit has electronic devices like a defibrillator implanted inside, which are remote controlled (huge security hazards, but never mind) and has obvious weak points, like the jaw, that a skilled fighter like Batman himself could exploit. It is not an invincibility suit by any means. So Batman built a super-gun able to kill himself and stored it into a simple warehouse while having already a perfectly working prototype (so he basically keeps 2 of them around); he is obviously an idiot who built a devastating weapon that any villain can steal and use against him (or anyone with body armor and more) for no real reason, a weapon designed to kill and not disable, even, contradicting his MO judging by the rest of the arsenal.

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Tommy makes his unceremonious exit, and Kate spots Reagan. During the sequence with her, the same couple (she wears a reddish dress and has black hair in a ponytail) appears by the stretcher and then a few meters behind, even further behind when the camera is on Sophie reacting to her "There you are." (00:39:10)

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Jerry is playing with his mom; she handles him a note with Elaine's message. He says "I am such a jackass." His mom asks "She knows... what?" In that shot, Liz Sheridan 's hand is nowhere near her face, where it should be to match the shots before and after. (00:16:55)

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Throughout the video store scene, a golden sticker keeps switching position on the adult tape Elaine is holding; The Switch can be noticed particularly easily when they talk about the wedding; Elaine repeats "A wedding?" and the box has no sticker, but few seconds later she laughs about the combover and the sticker is showing. (00:02:50)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After the title screen, Sophie is reviewing Batwoman footage. First shot and two agents, one with a hat and one with blonde hair in a bun, walk behind her, right to left, met by another agent looking at something in her hands. Cut to the screen Sophie is looking at, and a few seconds later the same extras are doing their exact same walking routine starting from the exact spot. (00:01:25)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In Bruce's office, the museum curator turns around to ask her assistant "Margot, is that the last lens change?" She initiates that line holding the handbag with her right hand, but in the reverse shot she is using that hand to point at her, since the purse instantly went under an armpit. (00:04:10)

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: In the pilot episode "Good News, Bad News", look out when the waitress discusses the two coffee pots. She says "Trusts me George, nobody wants to see you on caffeine", and the unbuttoned top of Jerry's jumper is noticeably folded - but straightens instantly in his reaction shot. Also it should be noted that she walks away without actually pouring coffee to George - you have to assume a little amount of time elapsed between that reaction shot with Jerry and the following on George. (00:01:45)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the three-way meeting during the museum party, Sophie says "Sorry, I didn't realise you were here with anyone." A woman in a flower dress passes right behind her. Cut to Kate for awkward moments of silence, and back to Sophie, with the woman who did not make a millimeter of progress in her walk during that second. Even worse, seconds later when she says "You two have fun" the same woman is repeating the action from the beginning. (00:28:25)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the orphanage fight, Kate at one point is pushed against a pillar by a villain who holds her against it. She grabs a fire extinguisher and smashes another guy in the jaw with it. She does not drop this weapon nor hits with it the villain who is holding her, but in the next shot she is just punching and elbowing him. (00:19:05)

Stupidity: The protagonist removed a blood-stained bottle from the bloodied car where the murder takes place, and this may incriminate him. To avoid being found out by the police, he disposes of it where, he unironically comments "nobody will find it." Which is...the closet of his bedroom. It works.

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the elevator, Kate's dad is looking at the electric wires with a flashlight. His wife says "How can this city trust us to protect it", and he lowers the torch. Next shot, he has it still pointed at the circuitry, and he lowers it only a second later. (00:31:20)

Factual error: Emmanuelle Devos goes to the airport to get her husband and daughter. Their plane landed at 7 PM (18:58 to be precise) as shown by the airport monitor. They get a cab to a hotel downtown, and then there's a scene when she books a restaurant from the hotel room. She tells her husband, who just took a shower, that they need to be at the restaurant at 8 PM. Her husband says that there's no rush then, since it's only 7 PM. Of course that's impossible, the Turin airport is about 20km away from the part of the city they are driving through, which at that hour has also significant traffic; if their plane landed at 7, at 8 PM they would hardly have any time left to spare. (00:29:00)

Down Down Down - S1-E3

Plot hole: The demented villain is not keeping tabs on the elevators! The rescue teams can move freely around the tower, the elevator doors can be pried open with ease like Sophie and her husband do, so his threat is completely empty and ineffective, somewhat surpassed in idiocy only by Batwoman's response, who during the ultimatum gets back home and keeps busy spraypanting the suit and finding a wig for her date with the crazy guy at the top of the hour rather than taking 10 minutes or so to free the people trapped in the 7 elevators first, unopposed as she is, and go challenge the idiot later when he has no more hostages. It shoud also be noted that the villain made the "hostage" situation and the "one hour" ultimatum known only to Kate! The police and the Crows have no reason at all not to intervene with full force to check out who the crazy bomber guy is, but the police does not swarm the building and nobody finds odd to see a madman on top of the building under terrorist attack.

The Robbery - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Jerry has just won the contested deed for The Apartment beating George. Look at The Jacket on the counter. When Kramer makes his trademark entrance, The Jacket is placed differently. (00:16:40)

The Murder of Sherlock Holmes - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Episode 1-0, "The Murder of Sherlock Holmes"; Mr. Giles opens the door of the antechamber of his office, finally putting an end to Jessica's long wait. Grady right away at the first click of the lock takes his hands off his pockets and tidies up his sleeves. But in the next shot when Grady actually enters and talks to the secretary, Grady is still with his hands on his pockets repeating the gesture. (00:10:10)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Stupidity: Magpie in theory has the exploding pearls as diversion for her escape, but the pearls explode all too soon and in a room that she already emptied with the false alarm. Reality is that she has to face already zero security without the pearls being a factor, the moment she presses the alarm button. That's because for some reason every single Crow armed guard went to the exit to help the guests leave (in a most unprofessional way as they further crowd up the exit standing right in the way) and nobody remained behind to remotely keep an eye on the jewels. Also of course there is no alarm whatsoever on the jewelry cases, that can be opened at will. That is a serious joke of a security, and supposedly made by professionals, former navy seals, green berets etc.

Sammo ★

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Other mistake: Magpie is surprised by the guard at the beginning of the episode; the guard is running in the room, hand going for the gun. After a cut to her with close-up on her elaborate fetching of the bombs with her awkward nails, the man is standing still, hand down his leg, only then going for the weapon. Two bombs fall at his feet, one per foot, touching the feet directly. Obviously he just looks at what they are instead of jumping back, and they explode in a single mushroom cloud CGI explosion, to his left. (00:01:10)

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Reagan and Kate have the break-up talk, Reagan catches her in a lie and says "You just said you were on a call." Behind her, a man with a conspicuous shirt (black with red drawings on it) walks off, and is in a following shot walking down the street, leaving for good. Right before she says "All I ask for is a little honesty", several seconds later, the funny shirted man is back behind her. (00:34:05)

Sammo ★

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Plot hole: Analyzing the remains of the explosion on the bridge does not lead to the retrieval and identification of the detonator who triggered the bomb, but Sophie deduces that it must be unreleased technology from Hamilton's, because of the extreme precision with a convoy that had 7 vehicles. The vehicles in the bridge scene in episode 2 were proceeding in a line and several meters apart. There was nothing unique in the detonation as shown, any stooge pushing a button on a remote control could have hit with the same 'precision' without breaking a sweat. (00:12:30)

Sammo ★

Who Are You? - S1-E4

Plot hole: The whole pearl necklace situation is a scene choke-full of mistakes. What we witness is Batwoman 'protecting' people from explosions of terrible superimposed CGI who look absolutely harmless, don't hurt anybody, are generally tiny and at great distance from everyone. The culmination happens when to thwart the threat of the single pearl left (the pearls all explode at different times, must have super high tech nano-detonators) Batwoman throws the batarang with millimetre precision at the small hand of a little girl, somehow knocking away the object, somehow not making it explode (how could she know hitting it violently wouldn't?) and leaps on the girl to shield her eyes from the explosion. Explosion which should be very distant since it comes from a single tiny pearl violently knocked away by a metal batarang before Kate' sprint, but somehow is still so big and devastating to horrify the crowd, larger than anything seen in the museum with dozens more and close by.
