Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, the preacher is walking around with the donation mug. The first kid to put a few bucks in does it across two shots and has a very notable yellow hand-held device when he puts the money in that was not there in the first shot. (00:02:00)

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The fake preacher runs away leaving all the money behind: in the overhead shot Lucifer says "I'm here till, well, the end of times actually" turning around past a guy (big hair, big sideburns, black and blue shirt) that he already passed in the shot before as he thanked the crowd. (00:03:20)

Continuity mistake: Chloe is being debriefed by her ex about the crime scene. There's a close-up of the photographer who will be the key of the case, being physically pushed away by a policeman. The scene goes on with him in the background in many shots, all on his own, snapping away as if nothing happened. (00:08:55)

Factual error: The apple scene (as it often happens with Amenadiel's scenes) does not make much sense: ignoring the fact that the liquid in the glass suffers no slowdown (we can assume that being in Lucifer's hand somehow protects it), the apple is already on its descending arc when the two are talking by the piano, but is still up there well after a minute. By the speed it moves, it should already have fallen. Also, why would it drop vertically and not continue its trajectory? (00:13:50 - 00:15:50)

Other mistake: The dynamic of the scene with the paparazzi outside the party is quite absurd: forgetting the fact that the paparazzo just happened to have amazing parking privileges (the only sedan in the street, allowed somehow right by the red carpet!) the timing is all wrong, as he "just" made his escape a minute later, witnessed by Chloe walking away just then from the paparazzi brawl. She had walked past their lot already over 30 seconds before, while Lucifer stayed behind forcing the comical confession out of 'Friar Tuck'. (00:26:00 - 00:26:35)

Other mistake: We are shown several times the first person perspective of a paparazzi camera, with the HUD. From a diegetic point of view though, it is used in a way that lacks coherence. For instance, in the red carpet scene the photo count goes down by one every time the shutter clicks, while in the car scene it does not go down at all. And it really could not have been Josh's camera in the red carpet scene, because it photographed Chloe once he already escaped and from behind.

Other mistake: Despite the presence of multiple paparazzi on site while a civilian opens a police car, drags the main murder suspect out of it for some rough questioning and generally creates a suspicious scene, nothing about it leaks in the news (one guy even takes picture of the other side of the road!).

Dan: I don't know whether to laugh or to shoot you.
Lucifer: Surprise me.

Save Lucifer - S4-E9

Question: This is a question about when Maze walks into the room when Linda is giving birth. Is this what it would look like in real life in a hospital? It looks like Linda is giving birth in her hospital room (even though the sign says birthing room, the room looks set up for guests), there's only 1 hospital staff, and Amenadiel is in his regular clothes, no sterile or protective coverings. And, ignoring the fact that Maze would go wherever she wants, wouldn't a staff member at least try to stop her from going in or try to prep her for entry? Maybe the 1 staff member was prepping her, but it seemed like they added baby crying sounds to indicate she was in the process of giving birth.

Answer: At least as far as clothing goes, I was in regular clothes when my wife gave birth, only changing into scrubs when they thought we'd have to move to an operating room (but ended up not needing to), otherwise I'd just have stayed in them. The room was also pretty much a regular hospital room, but no doubt there were some birth-specific differences I wasn't aware of!
