Well not sure if they have good editing either. I saw the first episode of Tehran the other day, two noticeable errors. Passengers are on a commercial airline, but on the first outside shot it looks like a smaller corporate jet. Later when it lands it looks like a commercial jet.

Later the same plane takes off from Tehran and there is a Southwest airlines jet in the background, like its supposed to be Tehran, not Phoenix. One hardly needs to be an aviation expert to notice these things. How could a well funded production miss two thing in the first episode of a show?

I don't think they were involved with the content of Tehran at all, only they acquired the rights to distribute it worldwide later on. You can also tell because there's no Apple hardware shown.

However, in Servant, there's a continuity error where an Audi is shown without the emblem in one scene and then with it in another scene. This is especially surprising because Servant probably has the best Apple TV+ cinematography.

ah, thanks for the clarification, that make more sense. I guess that can somewhat excuse the Southwest airlines goof if not American makers, but doesn't excuse showing different jets as the same plane

Tehran was made by Israeli KAN 11, a public TV channel roughly equivalent to a BBC channel.
