Episode #4.3 - S4-E3

Character mistake: On the website of the Saint Marie Heritage Society, there's an ample mention of Catherine's bar where the society gathers. However, it mentions the lovely "Catherine Duval" serving drinks - Catherine is Camille's mother, and their last name, as also present in the credits, is Bordey, not Duval. (00:20:45)

Character mistake: In the pep talk Elaine gives on the pier at the end of chapter 6, she says "In two years, you've done for them more than any real Loren in centuries." Each chapter lasts two months; a year passed, not two.

Character mistake: Before the fourth and final world, President Donald Trump exclaims "It's you!", to which Bernie Sanders replies "Not me, us." It's a cool comeback and all but 'you' applies to both cases, 'me' and 'us'.

Sammo ★

Character mistake: The tour guide inside the "Degenerate art" exhibition ridicules the 'child-like' paintings of the likes of Mondrian and Kandinsky. In particular he stands in front of Kandinsky "Upward." The German name of the work is "Empor", but the tag says "Empore." (00:03:40)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Character mistake: After a long day of various inquiries around the island and a lot of roaming and chit-chatting, DS Camille Bordey and DI Humphrey Goodman go back to the station wondering "if the photographs from Matthew Webster's camera have finished downloading." (00:23:50)

Episode #3.5 - S3-E5

Character mistake: Fidel says that the victim "removed" the hard drive of his laptop, even pointing out an empty slot where the HD would be. During his massive overacting when he figures out of the solution of the case, Humphrey says that Jacob "wiped" the hard drive. (00:21:40 - 00:41:00)

Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Character mistake: When Camille and Humphrey browse the writers' message board, the post done by Arnold Finch under the pen name of "Grumpywriter" contains a variety of spelling mistakes unbecoming of a writer (but that often happen in this show's prop department) such as "unnecasary" "tallentless imbecel." Earlier (hard to catch it without slo-mo in this case) in his mail we see him ask about puffer fish poison and "it's toxicity" and sign the mail with "Sincerly." The subject of another mail in the inbox is "Updated Shedule." (00:22:30)

Episode #2.6 - S2-E6

Character mistake: DI Richard Poole does not correct Officer Fidel Best properly; he says that the case he has in mind is "Makin v Attorney General for New South Wales, 1894", but it's actually 1893. (00:07:10)

Episode #2.3 - S2-E3

Character mistake: Richard makes it sound really special and important that the tea in the box is Camelia Sinensis...but that tells absolutely nothing, since it's simply the name of the tea plant, not a specific, precious variety of it. Your standard tea you buy at the supermarket is just as Camelia Sinensis as any other type of tea. (00:08:40)

Episode #2.2 - S2-E2

Character mistake: The prescription pills are labeled "Sister Therese", but Therese is not a nun yet (in the credits of the episode itself she is the one not labeled as such, but just by her name). (00:44:50)

Sammo ★

Episode #2.2 - S2-E2

Character mistake: Throughout the episode, multiple times members of the clergy themselves talk about Therese not having yet received "holy orders." She would never have, considering that nuns only take "vows", the former are just for men.

Episode #2.1 - S2-E1

Character mistake: The clinic who ran the tests for Roger Seymour's brain tumor surely does not employ just brain surgeons, because the spelling in the official report is simply atrocious ("apetite" (twice), "consistant"). (00:21:00)

Sammo ★

Episode #1.7 - S1-E7

Character mistake: When Dwayne speaks with the record bootlegger, he asks him about a recording from "last night" 'show, when it was instead the show from two nights before. He correctly mentions a few lines later what happened "the other night." (00:39:50)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Character mistake: The Grim Reaper is at the party to grab the paper copy of the will - however, after Magnum is incapacitated turtle-style, the guy never bothers to actually retrieve it from the mantle he put it on, nor Magnum checks out what the piece of paper is. (00:35:05)

Sammo ★

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Character mistake: Carlton's favourite gun is a Colt "Bisley Model", rare and produced starting 1894. When he introduced it to Magnum in the cabinet he called it a "Colt 45, vintage 1860" (or sixty-something, as Magnum started his line when he might have not finished). (00:16:50)

Bad Day to Be a Hero - S1-E10

Character mistake: Magnum and Higgins never retrieve the large and conspicuous device they used to hack the 'top level firewall' of the hotel database - and they even put it in a frontal USB port.

Episode #2.2 - S2-E2

Character mistake: Dwayne takes only the thumbprint of Sister Marguerite before she leaves. (00:12:50)

Sammo ★

Six Paintings, One Frame - S1-E4

Character mistake: The art expert says that lapis is a rare gemstone and was used in painting only up to the Victorian Era, after which became too expensive. That's quite misleading; it's not that lapis became more rare or expensive, it's just that adequate artificial substitutes became available.

Ki'is Don't Lie - S3-E2

Character mistake: Higgins boasts about playing chemin de fer with Ferdinand II at the resort, but there has not been any sovereign by that name in the 20th century. (00:20:40)

Sammo ★

Character mistake: During an intermission following Dmitri's revenge after the attempted hit on him, the Chief of staff discusses the data with Dr. Updale. There's a pie chart in the screen in the background, and the segments are; 5%, 25%, 16%, 14% and 50%, which add to...110%. It's not a pie chart, it's a pie and a slice. (00:50:15)
