Flames of Love - S5-E8

Factual error: When JP shows the article from the Cowbridge Gazette, it is the Wednesday 22.01.16. January the 22nd was a Friday in 2016. Following article's date; Wednesday 2.2.2016. Actual 2.2.2016: a Tuesday. (00:15:25)

Flames of Love - S5-E8

Factual error: The stratagem used to conceal the murder and disguise it as suicide is absurd from the start; it relies on the old trope of a gun "silenced" shooting through a pillow. It simply does not work, a gunshot in the early morning in the empty camp would have not been dulled down significantly by a pillow, and still be heard.

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Plot hole: Leon Hamilton is the most hated man in Sainte Marie, with over 900 people on the island conned by him. Yet exactly one person in the whole island knows how he looks like, every newspaper and website never ever published a picture of him even during the very public trial when they were trying to get their thousands of dollars back nor publish an archive picture after his death.
