Episode #4.1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Humphrey sets the popcorn for Harry, Harry in the last shot is closer than in the previous - which could make sense if we assume he scuttled closer during the split cut to Kris Marshall, but the light on the couch changes between shots as well. (00:51:15)

Episode #4.1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Humph and Camille are talking with Zeta Akande about the reasons for the lack of references from her job. When she says "The children really loved me", her braids at the leftmost side of the chest are bunched together, split when she says in close-up "He didn't like that", united again as it gets back to a wider angle, etc. (00:32:35)

Episode #4.1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Camille pummels her boss with a pillow, she is holding it with the striped side facing the camera. In the close-up where she puts the pillow down, it's the black side. (00:23:50)

Episode #4.1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Dwayne realises that he did not ask the cute girl's name, and looks at her now far away. Something is wrong with this shot of Joséphine Jobert and her derriere; walking down the same street there's the same couple that is having a drink right next to Dwayne (his black shirt with colourful drawings is not exactly hard to miss). (00:20:50)

Episode #4.1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Camille and Humphrey pass to each other and show Andre Morgan the key retrieved from the safe. They hold it positioning their fingers differently (tip of the key or closer to the rounded part) on the various shots. (00:18:50)

Episode #4.1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Lucy Thomson sits at a table outside while her brother Daniel is dealing with distillery paperwork. She puts her cell phone next to her. When it rings a few shots later, the phone is at the corner of that table. (00:15:45)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When the murderer is revealed, they cry admitting implicitly their guilt. Mascara runs down their cheek, but its trails disappear between shots, and changed are also the smears on the lower eyelid. (00:47:45)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In a rather blatant continuity mistake, Humphrey starts seated with his wife and two cocktails, which become a single cocktail glass when Dwayne and Fidel barge in. (00:35:00)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When the severely confused Humphrey asks "What are we doing?" Sgt. Bordey points at the car; in the first shot she points and lowers her hand, but in the next shot the hand is still up and pointing. (00:12:30)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Talking about the Chambers in front of the station prior of the surprise arrival of his wife, Humph gesticulates with his left, right, left hand depending on the camera angle. (00:10:50)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In the preliminary interview with the suspects, Colin Campbell is talking about the concert he accompanied the victim to. Depending on the camera angle, the shadows on the table change, in a larger and uninterrupted area in the overhead shot. (00:06:50)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Emma is late for the party; Jim says that maybe he should go check on her, to which his wife goes "Whaaat?" Notice the straw in her drink, pointed to her right. New shot, and it is pointing left. And when the guys scuttle away, the straws in her glass are two. (00:02:15)

Episode #3.8 - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Tech-savy Jim is asked to fix the wi-fi in the intro of the episode. With a shark-like grin Pam Chandler replies he'll be "only too happy to help", and raises above her bosom the hand with the sunglasses. Jim passes her in the next shot, where her hand is low to the point of being out of frame. (00:01:20)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: The timing of the scene when all of the 4 people who make the police force of Saint Marie reunite to check on Humphrey makes no real sense; there is no way that Fidel (but also Dwayne, even if at least there was a moment of contemplative silence before his arrival) couldn't have heard the chat going on in the room in the house at night being outside the open door. (00:39:20)
