The arc where Ben interviews to be an adjunct professor is almost comically incorrect. Adjuncts are the lowest-paid, lowest-status faculty at a university. Adjunct faculty are paid $2k - $5k per course (around $20 - $50 an hour per course for the amount of work involved) depending on the university. They are hired directly by the Department Chair/Head to fill a vacancy, often at the last minute, and with no other oversight. The dean is rarely if ever involved, and there would never be a faculty committee or a guest lecture to see how he teaches. Accreditation requirement mean that the overwhelming majority of adjuncts teach General Education or remedial courses. This is the same from community colleges to the Ivy League.
The process shown in this episode would be more like the process for a Visiting Assistant Professor, which might even carry some status depending on the university and the position.

In season 1 Ben mentions that he remembered an empty seat next to Saanvi on the plane, but in S2E3 Saanvi OKs her seat-mate's husband to fill the seat next to her.
This was clearly the flight to Jamaica, not the flight back to New York where Saanvi's seat was empty.
But there is no obvious reason why the company running an international flight with 190 people would leave the very seat next to Saanvi vacant. There seems to be some mix up in the script.
Once Saanvi tells that she had told about the vials to only one person, her psychiatrist, it was not made clear why Ben and Vance chose to show her a list of Army's female Majors to identify the psychiatrist. They should rather have shown a list of all city psychiatrists to find out whether Saanvi's psychiatrist is in there. There is no obvious clue at that point that could connect a city psychiatrist, fake or real, to Army's female Majors.
