American Primeval - Arrows everywere!
In the first big battle scene, you see countless arrows flying back and forth across the screen. Every now and then arrows hit people, but most arrows fly through smoke and dust into the void. Assuming that a rider does not carry countless arrows, these are a rare resource. Shooting arrows at random into a battle without having a target in sight is absolutely ridiculous. In addition, hand-to-hand combat has already broken out in this scene, meaning that even allies can be hit by arrows. An absolutely unrealistic depiction.
What's more, most arrows kill instantly or incapacitate those who are hit. This depiction is wrong. In most cases, arrow wounds led to sepsis and a slow death if none of the largest blood vessels, heart or upper spinal cord were hit.
This series is full of errors that have been known for a long time.

In the last scene of Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020), they had to scatter instruments to all timelines, and tell them to "play in C major", but as they start to travel to infinity, the main music on-stage temporarily modulated to E-Flat Major, before going back to C. That slip should've doomed them
