Episode #1.3 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: The principal admits his lie and brings the team to his real destination. At the entrance, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson's is standing with his hands behind his back, in front of him, and behind his back again at the cut. (00:23:20)
15th Mar 2020
Revealing mistake: In the semi-POV shot showing Elena's face as the SUV rams into their getaway car, the passenger window is open - which would make no sense in the heated car chase with bullets flying all over the place, and is not consistent with the rest of the scene either. Just helps filming. (00:24:35)
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: When Jane is ejected from the car thumping against the channel's edge, in the shot with the camera positioned in the 'car' with a clean view of Ella Balinska flailing her limbs around, we see her fall with a relatively low parable, but she plunges into the river at great distance from the car. (00:24:50)
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: During the car chase in Hamburg, the Angels' car take a sharp turn at the end of a tunnel. The left half of the road is in the shadows, but in the shot dedicated to the pursuing SUV making the same turn, the road is entirely in direct sunlight. (00:23:25)
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: Hodak kicks a second table at Jane in the overhead shot. He knocks over a pink lamp that was not there a moment before and keeps appearing and disappearing, together with the one in the neighbouring table. (00:21:15)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: In the small scene with Fidel and Dwayne deciding who gets to do the fun stuff around the island, Gary Carr's right arm is bent or straight depending on the angle. (00:12:40)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3
Other mistake: Investigating the crime scene, Richard, facing away from Camille, asks what was the victim drinking. Camille is already going for the glass of rum before he asks the question. (00:03:00)
I hope that watching the scene it can be clear. Camille was busy taking some notes, and he is facing away from her. All of a sudden, he says "So, what was she drinking?" and while he is at "So" Camille is literally lunging to her side to go look at the glass. Neither had any possible way to get that kind of timing, and it's not played as a "Hey, we were both thinking the same thing! Jinx!" kind of gag.

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Both before and after the credits, there are differences between the wider shot and the close-ups of the dead woman in the way she is lit. The hat and her nose cast shadows of different length and angle. (00:02:05 - 00:02:35)
15th Mar 2020
Episode #1.2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The two investigators meet with Adam Fairs poolside. In the establishing shots there's a hotel staffer closing by, carrying a pile of towels. When Camille poses her question, the man is nowhere to be seen. (00:28:05)
15th Mar 2020
Episode #1.2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Richard calls it a day on the investigation, but he's still chatting about it with Camille during a walk. When he says "One thing's always puzzled me about weddings", two women are crossing the street in front of him. Few seconds and a cut later, when he mentions the bouquet, here they are again, the same girls crossing the same street coming from the same direction as before. (00:23:20)
15th Mar 2020
Episode #1.2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Richard and Camille are questioning the maid, Margaret. She turns around after answering about the "Cleaning in progress" label, and her braid is down her back. In the rest of the scene, it is in front of her shoulder. (00:18:45)
15th Mar 2020
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Stupidity: The case is made to be this incredibly complex locked room murder mystery, but it is so simply because nobody did a routine check of the phone records of the suspects / one of the victims (if not of the cell tower of the zone). The detectives would have instantly stumbled upon a major unexplained contradiction, since an incriminating call was made.

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Plot hole: The real culprit pinned the crime on DI Charlie Hulme, but since everything was improvised and acted on the spot, it doesn't explain how could they access Charlie's safety deposit box at the bank stuffing it with incriminating evidence. It is specified through Fidel and Dwayne's dialogue that the box is at the bank, where everyone is required to show identification to get a box and access it, not some anonymous private storage company or a random locker.

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Following James Lavender to the beach, Richard calls him "a little proprietorial", DS Lily Thomson between cuts has alternately her right hand on her hip or not. (00:14:00)
15th Mar 2020
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Sgt. Lily Thomson drives detective inspector Poole to the beach shack. In the opening wide shot she has her left hand on the steering wheel, but in the closer angles the hand at 12 o'clock is the right hand instead. (00:09:10)
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: When Jack updates the Commissioner on how slowly both cases are going, his left arm is in a different position on the desk between shots. (00:32:30)
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: Backstage, Commissioner Selwyn Patterson reveals to the band members about the message from the victim. The band member in purple has his hand clasped on the beret in noticeably different ways as the shot changes. (00:07:50)
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: When Jack picks up the fork from the floor, it keeps turning around in the first couple of shots and in the last couple of shots (when Florence goes to talk to the others). (00:04:45)
15th Mar 2020
Plot hole: At the beginning of the episode it is established that Samuel Palmer "was putting out his rubbish just after midnight", but in the rest of the case (coroner report, case discussion at the station, question to the suspects) the time of death is 10 PM. The part of the dialogue at the beginning (Dwayne talking to Jack and Florence outside the house) is cut in home video releases, but still appears in Jack's case-solving flashback reel. Other references to the wrong midnight time appear in Cordell' statement as he turns himself in (says he entered from the window " Just before midnight.") and Jack's usual schtick with the suspects ("Shortly after midnight, Eugene's neighbour, Samuel, he heard arguing").
15th Mar 2020
Continuity mistake: Getting to celebrate at the end of the episode, Dwayne is chewing on some ribs, but in the reverse shot Darlene is reacting to him eating from a fork in the foreground. He puts down the same rib later when she has to get up to answer the door. (00:50:55)
