Plot hole: Mayor Brady told the Sheriff, "We're a tight-knit community with a resistance against change and outsiders, and you're both..." It sounds as though the Mayor deliberately hired the Sheriff ("which is why we brought you in"), but Sheriffs in North Carolina are elected officials. Justin would have had to get his name on the ballot and the community members (who didn't like outsiders) would have had to vote him in (wanting change), believing this outsider was the best person for the position.

Blue Ridge (2020)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Character mistake: Deputy Becky told Sheriff Justin that Vivian's "been murdered." Discovering a dead body with cuts/scratches, a broken ankle, and a head wound (next to a rock with blood on it) does not automatically mean the person was murdered, and the Sheriff/police should have conducted a thorough investigation before making any conclusion about the cause of death. The death could have been accidental, such as by tripping while fleeing a wild animal. (00:11:55 - 00:13:29)
