Just Let Go - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Jake sees Oliver's parents crying at the beginning of the episode, the same few extras walk by them twice in two different shots. Watch for the Asian-American nurse – she's the easiest to spot.
Just Let Go - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: When we see the outside of the hospital in the beginning, as the camera cranes down to see the ambulance, you can see a subtle sort of "blur/feathering" around some of the tree branches and leaves above. The background appears to be added in post, and the foreground tree just wasn't quite blended in properly.
Revealing mistake: When the fire starts, you can see a massive spark from whatever starting mechanism was used. The blunt wouldn't make a spark that big.
Continuity mistake: The distance between the Good-Guy shoes on the floor changes right before the fire starts. They go from right next to each other to a few inches apart.
Continuity mistake: When Lexy drops her blunt, it lands next to the left curtain. In the next wide shot, it appears to be sitting next to the RIGHT curtain. Then, it's back to the left curtain the next time we see it.
Continuity mistake: When Oliver is killed, at one point Chucky stabs him in the shoulder several times, creating a noticeably blood stain on his hoodie. When we see his body, the shoulder wounds and bloodstain are gone. Only the stab wounds on his back remain.
Continuity mistake: When Caroline is going to bed, the distance between her and Chucky changes instantly between shots when Chucky comes to life. He's goes from right next to her to about a foot away. Additionally, Caroline's hand is on his shoulder, then off between cuts.
Continuity mistake: When Lexy and Junior go to Caroline's room to put her to bed, the way Caroline is sitting on the bed changes between cuts. Particularly, notice she's sitting with one foot on either side of Chucky, then suddenly both feet are on the same side between cuts.
Continuity mistake: When Lexy gives Chucky back to Caroline after the kids show up to party, the way she's holding Chucky changes multiple times between cuts. (Ex. She goes from turning him to holding him still at one point, her hands move from his shoulders to sides between cuts, etc.)
Revealing mistake: When Chucky follows Lexy as she's about to open the door and let the other kids into her house, the way Chucky is moving is very unnatural. He's moving less like he's walking and more like he's on some sort of track. He's moving more like he's gliding than walking.
Continuity mistake: When Caroline hugs Lexy with Chucky in the middle, the way Lexy has her arms around Caroline changes between cuts. Specifically, her left hand goes from under Caroline's arm to over her shoulder instantly.
Continuity mistake: When Jake goes to Lexy's house and gives Caroline the doll, at the start of the scene Lexy's arms are crossed. But at a certain point, they instantly uncross and are down by her sides between shots. (You can't always see her arms crossed in shot, but you can tell from the way her shoulders/upper arms don't move that they're still in the same positions before they're instantly down by her sides.)
Other mistake: When Devon's mum goes into his room, she's carrying a basket of laundry. When she leaves, she doesn't take it with her. It just sort-of vanishes from the scene after she briefly sets it down to talk to him. (And it's not like it's his laundry she was walking PAST his room and heard something that made her go in.)
Continuity mistake: When Devon's mom tells him she wants to talk to him about Jake, you can see him put down his pen. It's back in his hand immediately in the next shot.
Continuity mistake: When Jake hands Chucky the knife, the direction the sharp side is facing switches between cuts. First it pointed towards Jake, then away from him.
Continuity mistake: When Jake is contemplating killing Lexi with the gardening machete, at one point he lifts it up so it's about parallel to his head. Immediately in the next shot it's down by his shoulder and he lifts it a second time.
Continuity mistake: Jake goes from having his backpack straps over both shoulders to only one between cuts as he talks to Devon at the beginning of the episode.
Continuity mistake: When Devon's mum is talking to Miss Fairchild, after Miss Fairchild explains that she's not comfortable talking about Jake, she goes from having both hands on her desk to only having one on her desk between cuts.
Continuity mistake: When Chucky shows Jake his hands and tells him that it's hard to strangle people with them, he puts them back behind his head. But the way the scene is cut, it doesn't quite work. He's still getting his hands into position as the shot cuts, whereas in the next shot, they're instantly in position and totally still.
Give Me Something Good to Eat - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When the woman with the cut mouth is describing Chucky to Devon's mom, she asks, "Does he sound familiar?" and removes the rag from her mouth. It cuts to an over-the-shoulder shot, and you can see that the rag is back up by her mouth.
Answer: They were blamed for the death of Jake's foster brother, which was deemed a terrible accident, and they were sent to the reform school as a punishment. Presumably, when they had to leave the reform school given what happened, they were instead given community service as punishment.
