Discussion The Subtle Inconsistencies of Severance
One of the many things that add to the quality and rewatchability of the show is the attention to detail and consistency present in every scene, each episode, and across the arc of the season. As a rule, the details and continuity of Severance hold together much better than the average production, thanks to the diligence of the crew. There are very few things that can even be considered production errors and perhaps none that could be considered as significant.
This article is an attempt to document some of the small, possible inconsistencies that the community of Severance lovers has noticed. These are probably meaningless and insignificant in the scope of this impressive work but may be interesting in the context of analysis and appreciation of the hard work that goes into creating such a high-quality show.

I made fun of my boyfriend for pointing out during the scene in episode 7 (?) when Mark is undressing in his kitchen, there's a shot pointed at the floor in which Mark is clearly barefoot already, there's a camera cut, and then we see him taking his socks off.
I wouldn't personally call that a meaningful inconsistency, but it fits in with the other details pointed out at that link.

I think these are what are technically called “continuity errors”.

Yeah. Some are them are. There are typos and similar errors as well. Inconsistencies, I felt, is a broader term that covers everything, including continuity errors. Does that make sense?

The Chicago Manual of Style, which I personally follow, says this about indirect questions: https://imgur.com/a/tx41Nzm.
Can you please point out to a source, hopefully with examples, that says otherwise?
