Farewell My Beloved Witch - S1-E3
Other mistake: In the first part of the episode, the Third Sun is purple when in the hand of the characters in close-up, and pink in the field. Different shades of pink, some quite dark, but never the same shade as the close-ups or even close.

The Man They Called a Magician - S1-E2
Other mistake: In his training at the end, Jigen shoots over a dozen times with his revolver without reloading. (00:21:20)
25th Mar 2022
The Man They Called a Magician - S1-E2
Other mistake: Despite falling unconscious at the bottom of the sea in his car and being rescued by Jigen, with Pycal within range since he got out of the car at the last moment, somehow Lupin gets to Pycal's home before he does, setting up a bunch of tricks in advance too.
25th Mar 2022
The Man They Called a Magician - S1-E2
Other mistake: Lupin uses the three projectors to show Pycal the formula. To work, the projectors must carry one slide each, but then it turns out that Lupin had all three in hand the whole time.
24th Mar 2022
Other mistake: In Abby's scene when she is required to bring refreshments to the meeting room, all the drama happens because there's a chair blocking her way to the left of the table. Any sane person would just walk to the right of the table. She has all the space in the world to do that, but the plot to work she appears to be unironically too stupid to even consider the possibility. She also has room to put the tray down without moving a step. (also, as a bonus, the hand of one of the guests is embedded inside the table, just the thumb sticking out).
24th Mar 2022
Other mistake: When Mr. Bianchetti gives the approval to Brigitte's plan, he replies "can be done", with no capitalization (it's like a line or a few words are missing).
24th Mar 2022
Other mistake: The scenes inside Brigitte's office happen in the span of 10 days, but the clothes on the floor remain the same throughout them.

Is Lupin Burning... ?! - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Lupin spins out of the oil patch, the "4" on the front of his car (on the arrow) disappears. The number changes also font and position several times throughout the episode. (00:09:40)
24th Mar 2022
Is Lupin Burning... ?! - S1-E1
Other mistake: Jackie Stewart's car has a nice "DNLOP" logo (it's not a copyright issue, there are plenty other "Dunlop" logos with the correct spelling throughout the episode). (00:07:00)
24th Mar 2022
Is Lupin Burning... ?! - S1-E1
Other mistake: When the race begins, Lupin goes past two number 10 cars. (00:06:05)
24th Mar 2022
Other mistake: Lady Westholme leaves the room to take a call from England from her husband, Lord Westholme. When she gets back to Poirot, she mentions with outrage the call from Colonel Carbury. It can't be both, it's not even where she lives or works.
24th Mar 2022
Other mistake: Poirot enters the office of the Royal Commission at 10 to 11. We see and hear the interactions between him and the other people, and barely five minutes pass, but the clock is a minute past 11 when Lady Westholme comes back. (00:53:00 - 00:58:00)
23rd Mar 2022
Other mistake: Poirot realises that the champagne was poisoned because he happens to notice two cockroaches sipping the spilled champagne instantly died, in fact FIVE are dead when he looks again. This is quite cartoonish; besides the fact that roaches wouldn't die that quickly for that (if they would), we are in the middle of the ballroom/party hall of a luxury cruiser; if the moment something vaguely edible happens to fall on the floor there's half a dozen ravenous cockroaches jumping on it, people have better things to do than dance; that's one massive infestation.
23rd Mar 2022
Other mistake: In Trieste, Carol comments that someone should be with their mother; it seems to be a comment to the fact that she just tripped as it is shown in a wide angle. However, a conversation ensues and Ginevra at the end of it sees through the telescope...her mother trip, again. To make the event even more baffling, Ginny couldn't have witnessed the event from the promenade viewer, the angle is completely wrong. (00:08:45 - 00:09:10)

23rd Mar 2022
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Other mistake: Everyone present in the scene reacts to Kenmochi popping the police inspector badge out of his jacket pocket. That includes the female crewmember who is peeking from the corner behind Kenmochi and that can't see it at all. (00:18:00)
22nd Mar 2022
Other mistake: The spider scene is wildly different when Poirot narrates it at the dinner table (Miss Quinton immediately replies "Oh yes, spiders don't frighten me") compared to the actual scene (she said that replying to a different line). (01:12:20 - 01:33:40)
21st Mar 2022
Other mistake: The flashback that shows when the culprit is able to inform the accomplice that Mrs. Ottenbourne is about to expose them differs in many small details from the original; when she enters the room, Ustinov by the door fixes his jacket with one hand, and in the original scene he did it with two, when Simon urges her to tell the story from the beginning she has her hand on her chest in the flashback and not in the original. And her last words are "I saw that it was" vs "I saw it." This is no subjective, hypothetical flashback. (01:48:05 - 02:10:05)
21st Mar 2022
Other mistake: In the origin story of Poirot's facial hair, we see the damage on his cheek is massive, well into the cheekbone. His girlfriend says he'll grow a moustache to cover it, and surprisingly, it works - nevermind the fact that scar tissue wouldn't grow hair. When we see the scar without the moustache, while smaller than the initial damage, it still extends into the cheek at the level of the nostrils in a way that the 'stache couldn't seamlessly cover like in the rest of the movie and its prequel.
19th Mar 2022
Other mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Ginevra is reading the magazine but is interrupted by the outbreak of a thunderstorm. There is no rain at all, though, just the sound effect of thunder, with the car already wet at the beginning of the take to try to establish the illusion. (00:00:40)
