Episode #3.5 - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: The two detectives plus the Commissioner have broken to the family the news of the case being a murder investigation. They walk down some stairs discussing the case; Dwayne' scooter is visible in the background, shadows in its vicinity. When Patterson bids his farewell, Camille and Humph get called by Dwayne; the shadows by the bike now extend through a larger space all of a sudden. (00:09:05)

Episode #3.5 - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Inspecting the study where the victim supposedly killed himself, DI Humphrey Goodman at one point rattles the window handle and then at the cut stands side by side with Commissioner Selwyn Patterson. In the shot from that particular angle, which repeats itself a few seconds later when he says it's "one of those things" after he made an exaggerated shooting gesture, his right hand does not appear gloved (and he tucks it both times rather quickly under the other arm), while he wears latex gloves in the rest of the scene. (00:05:20)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: Twice in the episode Fidel gets from the computer a fingerprint match for Adam Frost. The date of the sample is February 10th, which not only is inconsistent with the supposed timeline of the episode (the security camera puts the murder on March 7th, and the previous episode was set in the fourth week of March as per the gigolo's appointment schedule). but also differs from Natasha's fingerprint date, February 9th. The murder was discovered in the morning, so the victim's prints have been taken the same day as the suspects'.

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Simone's reaction shot to Helen saying "I wasn't even here!" is flipped, as the position of her hair makes obvious (she wears the hair combed on the opposite side throughout the whole episode). (00:47:05)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: In the final part of the enquiry, Goodman pulls out of the evidence bag with the bottle of poison; the bag is turned differently between shots (check out of the small ribbed part in the corner, the bottle's cork). (00:45:40)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: During the denouement, Helen Walker's hair goes from still to windblown and back suddenly between cuts multiple times. (00:45:00)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Goodman crawls to get the poison vial, it contains just a bit of liquid left at the bottom. Later when he checks it out at the station in greater detail and many close-ups, it's over half full. (00:40:40)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: The hands on the close-up of the phone record sheet are inconsistent with the wider angle (Goodman's left hand should be in frame). (00:37:10)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: The phone records Fidel shows are of February, with Valentine's day being the latest entry. It is inconsistent with practically any other inconsistent bit of the episode (bank statements in February listed as 3 months prior, security camera of March, fingerprint file dated February 9th). (00:37:15)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Dwayne is reading the local newspaper when Camille and Humph get back from the hotel. The paper folds in opposite directions in the two separate shots. (00:36:40)
5th Apr 2020
Other mistake: In Dr. Fumi's final bit of Phone Fling conversation (if you opted for the answer on the right), the quotation marks for her nickname in school ("Distressing but effective") close but never opened.

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Catherine brings the casserole of deadly confit de poulet, Humph unfolds the paper towel in the first shot but it's still perfectly folded in the next. (00:28:10)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: When Dwayne stalks Simone, his sidecar is smack in the middle of the driveway when she approaches; he drives away towards the left but he is then lurking on the right side of the road as she drives off. All of that with his front light on. Not even a blind person could Miss it, and he'd have to swerve wildly to get in that sort of position. (00:28:10)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When Humphrey foolishly lets Catherine pick the dish for dinner, he lifts the menu and only the menu off the table, but in the following shot he has one of the blue paper towels underneath it. (00:27:30)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Summing up the lack of progress in the case in front of the whiteboard, Humphrey points at Bevans' picture with his right hand at first in the overhead shot, which becomes the left hand at the cut. (00:25:30)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: Humph points out a suspiciously large cash transfer that happened 'three months ago'. On the bank statement, the transfer is shown as happening on Feb 3, so we should be around May. The security footage Dwayne reviews established that the murder happened on the 7th of March. (00:22:00)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Other mistake: When Camille checks out Natasha's bank statement (a picture of it, which is kinda odd as you'd expect another file format), it contains amongst many other payments also a cash transfer to Paul Bevans for €10,000, but the subtotals do not reflect that at all (from over 18k Euros goes to 12k). There is also the not negligible detail that her name is misspelled in her own bank account; she is "Natasha Thiebert" but the statement spells it "Tieebert." (00:22:05)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: Camille tests how hard it is to reach the room keys (answer; it is very easy). In close-up the key to 276 is unperturbed and with the actual key to the right of the rock, but in the wide shot the key is to the opposite side of the stone fob. (00:07:55)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: At the concierge during the first interview, the phone rings. Simone asks "May I?" pointing with her left hand, which becomes the right hand after the cut. (00:09:00)
5th Apr 2020
Episode #3.4 - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Natasha Thiebert walks away from the table, she walks past the colleague in a loud blue and red shirt (Max). In the close-up when she looks back at the table though, Max passes her by again. (00:00:50)
