Plot hole: In the very first episode, the Wu Assassin (who hasn't even been properly trained yet) is fast enough to dodge bullets, that appear slowed down to him, leaving a trail behind them. At no other point in the series does the assassin exhibit that sort of speed and reflexes - in the penultimate episode he definitely can't dodge bullets, although the villains use automatic weapons so the comparison is in part unfair. It sure seems that he has been 'nerfed', or that he was accidentally written too overpowered in the first episode.

Suggested correction: I watched the scene and there's nothing to indicate he's seeing the bullets appear slowed down for him and he's not dodging bullets from his incredible speed. He's just zig zagging in a narrow hallway as he approaches the shooter, causing the shooter to miss because he doesn't know where to fire at (not that he was a skilled shooter in the first place.) He didn't dodge the first shot, he just reacts to a bullet going by him so closely. The bullet trail was a visual effect for the audience.
He's literally following the first bullet with his eyes, turning: the trails are there for the audience but it's a fact that he turns his head to the first bullet and dodges the second moving out of the way once it has been fired already, and he moves out of the way of the third once the shot has been fired as well, I call that incredible speed! That scene looks way more matrix-y than it had reasons to be compared to the rest of the show, imo. And he has not been trained yet. Valid point that the guy was most likely a terrible shooter and the last couple of shots are bad misses to begin with, but the bullet speed is the same anyway once a bullet has been fired, regardles of who fired it. I upvoted your comment though because I appreciate feedback and if your different perception of the scene is important.

Plot hole: The whole timeline of the episode is plagued with inconsistencies: the main timeline supposedly starts after 1 AM, but CG gets arrested for stealing a car in broad daylight. Unless the cops took her for a panoramic 4-5 hours ride of the bay before bringing her to the precinct, it does not add up.

Plot hole: The captain's wife tells him that she's taking his daughter with her, not giving him a chance to even say goodbye. During the episode it turns out that she's angry because he missed lunch with them, and when the Metal Wu texts the boss, it also turns out that all this just happens at 1:11 AM! It does not make much sense: she waited over 12 hours to complain to her husband, and she's driving her kid in the middle of the night.

Continuity mistake: In one shot (the one where the racist waitress slowly puts her hands on her hips), the sausage platter is turned differently than in the rest of the scene. The same mistake pops back later when father and son are confronted by the couple of white knights. (00:18:10)

Continuity mistake: Kai's knife, once he inflicts the deadly stab, bears just a single streak of blood in one shot, and appears soaked in it in the following. And in the overhead shot immediately following him pulling out, the knife is missing from his hand entirely. (00:45:00)

Continuity mistake: Christine's timeline starts "12 hours ago", so around noon, and it is taken from the ending of episode 1x06: Gu Assassins. But that scene happened early in the morning (Kai takes off for his trip, and after seeing them together, Zan goes to Alec, being even greeted with "Good morning Zan, you're up early").

Fire Chicken - S1-E3
Plot hole: Unable to locate "the bald chef", Uncle Six orders his men to bring him all the bald chefs of Chinatown. And they do! His goons round them all up, in a single sweep. They fit in a little van. So...in the whole San Francisco Chinatown, over 30,000 inhabitants, there are only literally a dozen bald (or balding or shaven, when you look at who they got) guys working in a kitchen.

Gu Assassins - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When we see the outcome of the fight between Jenny and Zan, Zan's very last move is a low spinning sweep kick. When Jenny lands, we see she has a cut above her left eyebrow, but nothing particularly significant. However in her next shot she's a crimson mask with that wound wider, blood that gushed down that cheek. (00:34:40)

Gu Assassins - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: Lu Xin is downstairs playing with his lighter. The first shot ends with the lighter held still with the decorated side towards him, while the following one has the the solid gold side face him. Moreover, when Jenny sits down he goes from having both hands on the lighter, to one hand on his bicep. (00:18:30)

Continuity mistake: When the desk sarge checks out of the content of CG's bag, he lies down the brown bag twice, and the milk carton next to it is never visible from the reverse shot even when it appears to be right next to it. (00:13:50)

Gu Assassins - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When at the end of the episode Zan meets McCullough, he has the fingers of both hands entwined when shot from the front, but always just a solitary resting left hand in the reverse angle. (00:43:00)

Gu Assassins - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: As Uncle Six is beginning to have seizures from taking the poison, Zan puts a hand on his shoulder. When his seizures calm down, her hand is alternatively on his shoulder, off, on again. (00:27:00)

Other mistake: When Tommy gets arrested, the (mirrored) clock in the store does not point anywhere near 9:13, which is the time when he makes the call (s) to Jenny. Instead it points at 8 sharp. (00:04:40)

Codladh Sámh - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: Kai is explaining to the gang the whole Wu story. When CG says "He's telling the truth" she is leaning against the table grabbing the edge in the back view, but leaning on it with her flat palms in the other shots. (00:13:00)

Codladh Sámh - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: In the swordfight set in 1519, Ying Ying offers the Monk Piece to her adversary. Depending on the shot, she is simply holding it in front of his face, or also pinning his arm down with her own. (00:10:10)

Plot hole: CG is worried that if Kai phones her, he might blow her cover. Kai is no suspicious character and it's established that they know each other after the windshield errand. On the other hand, she engaged in a fight with several thugs and the very boss of the Triad who all have seen her, her cover should be pretty much blown already at that point. It's also quite funny how she made sure to meet with the Captain in secluded locations during long jogs, but then kept in her desk police files about the suspects! Some undercover cop.
