King Memses' Curse - S1-E13

Stupidity: The bad guys tied up, bound and gagged a 100 pounds teenager, but left the policeman they captured completely free of any restraints whatsoever in the same room (no real reason why they wouldn't have killed him).

King Memses' Curse - S1-E13

Stupidity: With all the data gathered on all the girls, and having made a note about the relevance of "Birthday", Jack is completely incapable of establishing any connection between the girls... who all have the exact same birthday. After hours, he needs Miss Fisher to find it out. Who does it by simply reading the word "birthday" that he himself wrote.

Blood and Circuses - S1-E11

Stupidity: The plan of the bad guys to dispose of Miss Fisher, apparently, involved killing her and digging up a grave for her something like 20 yards away from the circus, in plain view and hearing distance from the various trailers. Since not everyone in the circus was a murderous maniac and certainly quite a few were capable to see a good opportunity for blackmail, it seems a bit unlikely it would have been successful.

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Stupidity: Miss Fisher enters her home in a rush and with obvious anxiety in her voice calls for Jane, repeatedly. Yet for no apparent reason Jane did not answer at all, she has to get into the kitchen and find her chilling with Mr. Butler.

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Stupidity: Miss Fisher is a cunning sleuth and avid reader, and has to search for a hidden message. Yet she does not recognize one of the most common tropes (yes, back in the 20s already, with illustrious writers as Dumas and Poe using it!) in fiction, aka the "invisible ink", even with a gigantic clue about it. She is uncharacteristically dense in this occasion.

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Stupidity: The police of course left a crate of smuggled military ammunition at the docks, even leaving officers on post to keep an eye, instead of simply bringing the ammo magazines to the station.

Raisins and Almonds - S1-E5

Stupidity: Tinkering with chemicals in a case that involves a horrible poison lethal by touch, and everyone just handles the hot, newly formed substance with no gloves at all.
