Pilot (2) - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: There are three shots of Bruno on the ground after Max knocks him down in the motel room. In the first, his tie is over his jacket, in the second shot it's under, and in the third the tie is pushed off farther to the right than it was before. (01:10:55)

Phoenix

C.R.E.A.M. - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During his meeting with Sketchy in the alley, Rafe buttons his jacket twice: once when explaining that he doesn't get upset and once after Sketchy makes his offer of free labor. (00:18:30)

Phoenix

Flushed - S1-E4

Factual error: Max breaks into the hospital dispensary by shoving a knife into the gap between the jamb and the door itself, which forces the curved latch tongue back into the mechanism and allows her to open the door. However, she opens the door outward. The curve of the latch tongue always faces inward, the way the door swings, and there is no way Max could hit this to open the door with a straight thrust as shown. (00:12:20)

Phoenix

Pilot (2) - S1-E2

Plot hole: In the hoverdrone footage, Peter goes down suddenly during the gunfight, apparently from a wound to either the head or torso. However, there is no wound or blood on him and even his bulletproof vest has no marks except for the normal studs. If he had been hit in an extremity he would not have limply collapsed instantly. Sonrisa's goons are using automatic weapons that should have no trouble hitting him many times from that range of only a few meters. (00:54:00)

Phoenix

Prodigy - S1-E7

Plot hole: Darius is fooled by Max's life size shadow walking on the projection screen into believing she is actually there. There must be a projector focused on the screen centered in the room to project on the flat surface without distortion, either in the small room behind Darius or hanging from the ceiling. If it was in the small room, Darius' shadow would appear on the screen as he was standing in the middle of the room, and Max's ruse wouldn't work because she would be behind Darius and projecting a much larger shadow. If the projector was on the ceiling, there is no way Max's shadow could walk so nonchalantly onscreen. - she'd have to be suspended just to show up on it. Either way, it would be impossible to create a life size shadow as shown here without standing between Darius and the screen. (00:37:15)

Phoenix

C.R.E.A.M. - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: While they are discussing the housekeeper's possible involvement in Herrero's disappearance, Max's arms jump from crossed to at her sides after a very quick cut to Logan, then back again a little later. (00:17:00)

Phoenix

Pilot (2) - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Bruno searches Max for weapons at Sonrisa's place, right after he declares she's clean you can see him holster his gun. After she tries to straighten up and he pushes her down again, you can see him in the background holstering it once again.

Harbor Lights - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: As the nurse hits the ground, agent Ames runs out into the rain and stands in it unprotected. A moment later he runs around a corner and his coat is clearly completely drenched, as well as his hair and face. Ames then makes a jump up a wall and climbs up on the roof. As he pulls himself up onto the roof, both he and his clothes are completely dry.

Art Attack - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Sketchy goes to the art thief for a pickup at the beginning, the thief passes the painting from his left hand to his right twice after he opens the door. (00:05:45)

Phoenix

Art Attack - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: There are a couple of times during Max and Logan's ride to the wedding that a shot on Logan shows Max's seat belt not touching her shoulder but the following shot on Max shows it flat against her. (00:09:35)

Phoenix

Red - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: At the witness protection safehouse the popcorn on the marshals' table jumps from the center to a corner. It's back in the center when Max breaks down the door. (00:03:00)

Phoenix

Blah Blah Woof Woof - S1-E9

Factual error: Max transfuses Logan from the inside of her elbow. The doctor pulls the needle out but doesn't bandage it. Neither Max or the cops are applying pressure as she is arrested. As any unlucky blood donor knows, without pressure and a bandage blood would be flowing copiously down her arm. (00:36:45)

Phoenix

Blah Blah Woof Woof - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: There's a clock on the wall behind Sung during his interrogation of Normal. The second hand is just striking the 9 o'clock position when Sung asks Normal if he is "not a man to be taken lightly". It's still at that mark when the camera comes back to Sung almost fifteen seconds later. Later when Sung tells Normal about the parking tickets, the second hand skips from 12 o'clock to the 5. (00:20:15 - 00:28:20)

Phoenix

Cold Comfort - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Sanders pulls a gun out of the freezer we can see that the shelf is empty except for the ice trays. Seconds later when Lydecker takes the gun, there are small bottles of some kind there. They weren't among the stuff on top of the freezer that Sanders knocked off, either, so they didn't fall in. (00:34:40)

Phoenix

Cold Comfort - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: During his conversation with Herbal at the beginning, Normal switches from hands at sides to hands raised to his chest as he explains the importance of June 12. (00:02:30)

Phoenix

Cold Comfort - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: While researching Lydecker, Logan first pulls up a box that says Lydecker's wife was killed in 1998; shortly afterwards, Logan says that she was killed in 1995. (00:10:15)

Phoenix

Normal: Well, well, well... so far, your moron colleagues have come up with the following excuses for why you're strolling in here at the crack of noon - you had a dental emergency, your aunt died... again, and my personal favorite from this idiot - you were detained by the sector police for practicing witchcraft. Now, would you care to further insult my intelligence?
Max Guevara: I overslept.

Trivia: When Max is leaving her apartment building you see a grafitti painting of Eyes Only. You may not notice it because the character hasn't been introduced yet.

Show generally

Question: This may seem a bit stupid, but I'm new to the show, and didn't start with the pilot: what is that place where Max, Cindy, Sketch, etc. hang out (Where Normal works)? Judging by the presence of lockers, I would assume it's a gym.

Answer: It's their job. They are bike messengers and have lockers to hold personal stuff.
