Death in Paradise

Episode #1.8 - S1-E8

Factual error: In the close-up of the password from Antigua and Barbuda, the nationality listed is "Antiguan", while as redundant as it seems, official passports from that country list it as "Antiguan and Barbudan." It also has no place of birth listed at all. (00:24:20)

Episode #1.7 - S1-E7

Factual error: The victim has been shot while he was lying in the coffin with his arms crossed. Somehow, he keeps his arms perfectly crossed even when he's dead, despite being carried around in a casket propped in vertical position merely a little more than 15 minutes later. Rigor mortis takes way longer to begin, his lifeless arms would have flailed off position a long time before, not stayed in the dramatic mummy position with no supports to hold them in place. (00:04:30)

Episode #2.7 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Fidel and Dwayne arrive at the place where Camille and Richard are hiding for the hurricane, they can open the doors without a problem, whereas Camille and Richard had taken great care of locking the doors from the inside.
