No Quarter - S1-E4

Other mistake: In this episode one of the characters is seen to be driving a VW Golf. The scene is set in Geneva Switzerland. However an American spec VW Golf is used. Also in backround shots, American vehicles not avalible in Europe are seen. Another scene shows the police race past in two Skoda Rapides. This car has not been made since the early 90's and it is highly unlikely that the Swiss Police would be using these cars still. The shot is an old video that appears to have been shot in an Eastern European country.

Rock 'n' Roll Suicide - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Annie is in Russia, she walks to the diner and has a scarf around her neck. When we see her walking in the diner, she has no scarf and a newspaper under her arm. When she leaves, she no longer has the paper, and there is now a purse/bag on her shoulder with the scarf hanging out.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode Annie shoots Lena and the tea is whistling from boiling. At the start of this one it goes back to Annie aiming the gun but the tea is not whistling. (00:00:01 - 00:42:52)

Horse to Water - S2-E14

Factual error: At the bar when Annie is sending a text to Auggie, her cell phone is shown and the cell service provider is "Rogers." Rogers is a Canadian service provider and wouldn't be available in Washington, DC. (00:26:50)

Horse to Water - S2-E14

Factual error: When Annie sends the text message to Auggie, you can hear the sound that is played when a message is sent, but you can see that it still says "Sending..." at the top of the screen, and the sound doesn't play until the progress bar fills up completely.

Factual error: Annie and Jacklyn are leaving the museum out the side exit (to try and avoid the bad guys), and Jacklyn uses her key card to open the door, just as the bad guys show up. They run through the door, and the door closes. The bad guys give chase, and open the door without using a pass key card.
