Factual error: When Patrizia is stalking Maurizio pretending to read some law book from the university, she's leaning against a shelf that sports a grey book by the title "Formazione; I metodi." On the book, you can see the logo of the publisher, Raffaello Cortina Editore, founded in 1980. The scene is set in 1978 (the book is from 2014, incidentally, and the scene was shot at the Cortina bookstore). Another even more obviously anachronistic book is next to Maurizio on the lower shelf; about the regulations of the European Union, which didn't exist at the time. (00:08:25)

Continuity mistake: The confetti in Linnet and Simon's hair changes position before and after Jackie makes her entrance at the wedding party. (00:25:55)

Factual error: The movie takes place in 1937: the new and improved Salome Otterbourne of this version has a repertoire of blues songs that are a few years posterior to that date, many years if we count the Rosetta Tharpe versions actually used in the movie. An argument can be made that they are all 'live performances' from a fictional character regardless of the vocalist who actually performed, and so the only song truly 'impossible' in 1937 would be "Shout sister shout", written in 1941, but we don't actually see Salome sing it. She does perform "Up Above My Head" and no recorded version of it exist before 1941, but it comes from a traditional gospel song.

Continuity mistake: In the transition when Bouc tells his mom that Poirot is his "friend, and he's famous", Euphemia is holding her easel and brush differently between shots. (00:19:15)

Plot hole: This adaptation further exacerbates the problem of previous movie and TV versions; in the novel, Jackie would make the female designated witness talk over and over pretending also to get drunk after Linnet left to go to bed. In the Ustinov version it happened too, but the diversion didn't seem to last more than a couple minutes. Same in the Suchet version. Here, Simon even provokes Jackie practically the moment his wife exits the room. There's no time whatsoever for her to change and get in bed, let alone fall asleep.

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: After talking to Alexis at the end of the episode, Castle closes his laptop and puts it on the desk. He looks for the picture frame, and in the background you can see in two shots that the laptop is open. Wider angle, it's closed again. (00:40:15)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Castle and Beckett are walking with Mr. Peterson asking him about the possible affair. He says that she was making "Us" dinner; there's a woman in the background, grey coat and a scarf. The scarf changes position at the cut when they call him out on the pronoun. (00:20:25)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Interviewing Chloe, the protagonists tell her that Sara's ex thought she had a new guy. Look at the cyclist in the background (that already made an appearance earlier); he reappears in the next shot as she goes "Uhm...", and he moved backwards. (00:18:15)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Castle makes the joke about Kate being both controlling and disapproving, his elbow is on the right, then on the left of the railing bar. (00:16:50)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: In the very first close-up of the body at the morgue, the 'body' blinks. (00:11:15)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Castle is on a break at home. Alexis asks him "Who got killed today?" He's putting the cap on a spice dispenser, empty. When she follows with "Do they know who did it?" the dispenser refilled. He then puts it down, but it's back in his hands at the cut. (00:09:10)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Stupidity: Mrs. Peterson tells the cops in the first interview that the phone went 'straight to voicemail', which would happen if the phone was off, and it's not the case. There's no reason why she'd lie about this particular fact. Which ties into the larger problem that the cops are looking for the missing phone but nobody tried to call it nor the phone company told them it was still on, or the plot wouldn't work.

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Factual error: The establishing shot of the building where the murder takes place features on the foyer quite prominently "715 - The Langham." The story takes place in New York, but The Langham (named after the famous British hotel) is the name of a residential building in 715 S Normandie Avenue in Koreatown, Los Angeles, used in this episode. There is a hotel by that name in New York, not an apartment building, on 5th Avenue. (00:01:00)

Nanny McDead - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Beckett takes the call at the beginning of the episode, her fingers change position on the phone between shots. (00:00:50)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the precinct checking Tisdale's alibi for the passport stamps, Castle asks why can't she just admit he was right. Ryan next to her is holding the receiver in a different way (look at the index finger) at the cut. (00:34:10)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Beckett teases Castle after the visit to Harrison Tisdale, spelling out why he's obviously lying. During the scene, the passers-by change position between shots, especially noticeable at the beginning. (00:33:45)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Harrison Tisdale hands Beckett his passport; it's facing opposite directions in the two shots. (00:33:25)

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Returning home after his arrest, Castle says "Just have to figure out why." Alexis in foreground puts a lock of hair behind her ear, but at the cut it's the same way it was before. (00:29:20)

Sammo ★

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Other mistake: Castle's book "Storm Fall" is a bit of an enigma, since it is amongst all the other books in the collection of the scapegoat killer when Kate opens it, but Castle gifts "an advance copy" to her later, while in the very first scene of the show there is a party with the book already in the hands of the public. Reviews and a proper release appear only in the fourth episode.

Flowers for Your Grave - S1-E1

Character mistake: At the end of the episode, Castle finds his inspiration again and there's a word processor page fading in/out with text being written. Funnily enough, whoever typed in overlooked something, since there's a sentence that says "Begfore she felt safe." (00:41:30)
