10 Recent TV Show Mistakes You Won't Believe

3. The Flipping Envelope - The Bear

Hulu's recent dramedy masterclass known as The Bear tells the story of award-winning chef Carmy Berzatto returning home to Chicago to run his deceased brother's sandwich shop.

But while that chef de cuisine focuses so much on detail and things being absolutely perfect before they're sent out to customers, the same sadly couldn't be said for the folks behind the camera when it came to one blink-and-you'll-miss-it continuity blunder.

Keep an eye on the envelope that contains a letter to Carmy from that aforementioned brother, Mikey, as Rich decides whether to give the thing over to his cousin during the first season's second episode (via Reddit).

As the camera initially clocks the paper, said envelope is very much vertical, hidden behind the The Original Beef lockers. However, as the shot changes when Rich goes to grab it, the letter suddenly shifts to being horizontal before the explosive best friend of Michael eventually returns the letter to where the audience originally found it in a vertical position.

Again, the magically shifting letter doesn't exactly take anything away from the scene, but you can bet that Carmy himself would not be happy with this lack of consistency!
