The Black Island: Part 1 - S1-E10

Audio problem: Tintin is shown tying Mueller and his partner in crime to a tree with a cable. After he finishes saying "This old cable should hold you for now", we can see his mouth move as if he is speaking before he goes onto the next sentence even though he isn't actually saying anything.

The Black Island: Part 1 - S1-E10

Audio problem: After Mueller's assistant gets knocked out by stepping on a rake, Tintin looks at Mueller and says "That was close". Look at his mouth when he says this. His mouth opens but as he says the line, his mouth doesn't continue to move along with the line. (00:20:40)

The Black Island: Part 1 - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Mueller's assistant gets hit on the head with a bag of counterfeit bank notes. Mueller then walks over to the assistant and ends up stepping on a rake, smacking himself in the face with it. In the wide shot that shows Mueller walking over to the assistant, we can notice the direction between Mueller and the rake would have had Mueller step on the edge of the rake. As it cuts to the close-up of Mueller's foot stepping on the rake, he is now shown stepping on the middle of the rake. (00:20:35)

Trivia: There is a mistake pointing out that the newspaper at the end is a flipped shot. If you flip it the right way round, you will see on the right hand side of the article the word "Spielberg" on one of the lines, a reference to director Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg went on to direct the Tintin movie Secret of the Unicorn in 2011. (00:43:35)
