Please Hold to My Hand - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Joel tries to drive through the rebel trap, the bad guy throws a big rock/brick on the pickup that creates a reasonably sized crack on its windshield - as we can see it from inside the car. However, during all the next outside shots, the windshield is intact - actually, it looks brand-new.
Visible crew/equipment: When Joel and Ellie cross the bridge, you can see crew on the left, in the overhead long shot. This show is an HBO Original, and the mistake has been edited out in the current streaming version. (00:14:35)
Factual error: In the giraffe scene, the Salt Lake LDS Temple can be seen in the background. However, this view of the temple is as it looks today. The building has been undergoing earthquake and stability renovations for a few years (as of 2024), and is completely shrouded in scaffolding. That is the view shown here, and not what the temple would have looked like when "abandoned" in 2003. Also, many of the tall downtown buildings shown in these shots did not exist in 2003.
