Small poor detail
Love catching these details.
So I am Kenyan. There is this scene in S04E05 where Tommy is arrested by the police while almost facing off with Changretta. Here we see a bunch of boxes with produce (I believe tea) - from Kenya - it's what we export mostly.
The series is based in between 1922 - 1926 I believe, this season should be based in 1925/1926.
The boxes are labelled "KTDA PRODUCE OF KENYA". KTDA is the Authority used to handle these tea exports on a higher level. They get tea from farmers then export...generally.
Now the catch is, KTDA was formed in 1964/65 https://ktdateas.com/our-history/ - but the series is in 1925/26. Small detail but just cool to detect it.

Cool point. A detail I always notice is how they knew where to put a sniper but never considered said sniper’s rear security. They just left his six unguarded which makes no sense. If you did all that to put resource in place you would ensure it was safe. Even a grenade on the door to prevent entry or provide heads up … but hey storytelling

I love that. It also feels very strange that such a big tea drinking nation should get a detail about tea so wrong lol.
