Shonda Rhimes' hit Netflix series 'Bridgerton' has attracted a huge audience, which is great but also means that ever more watchful eyes are trained on production for mistakes. But who would have thought they'd find some in the premiere episode? That's right, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the Regency-era drama had a splash of modernity in it. The episode begins with a scene showing the town square, spotted with horse-drawn buggies and elaborate costumes, but one shot reveals a yellow traffic line atop the cobblestone street, which didn't originate until the 1940s, according to CNN.

Incredible mistakes in film and TV

Fans notice 'Emily in Paris' scene with two Eiffel Towers!

CELEBRITY Gaffes

Historical films and TV shows have consistently messed up through the years, with tons of historical errors and mistakes making it to the screen. An incredibly glaring error made it into the final cut of an episode of the most recent season of 'Emily in Paris.' In episode three of the third season, Emily (played by Lily Collins) walks around a hotel room in Paris and fans noticed that the one and only Eiffel Tower can be seen out two different windows! The show already includes the iconic landmark in as many scenes as possible, and TikTok users were quick to make fun of the mistake. "Fun fact: the Eiffel Tower exists outside of space-time and can appear within eyesight of anyone in Paris no matter which direction they're facing," one user joked.
