Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Goodman crawls to get the poison vial, it contains just a bit of liquid left at the bottom. Later when he checks it out at the station in greater detail and many close-ups, it's over half full. (00:40:40)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Other mistake: The phone records Fidel shows are of February, with Valentine's day being the latest entry. It is inconsistent with practically any other inconsistent bit of the episode (bank statements in February listed as 3 months prior, security camera of March, fingerprint file dated February 9th). (00:37:15)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Dwayne is reading the local newspaper when Camille and Humph get back from the hotel. The paper folds in opposite directions in the two separate shots. (00:36:40)

Other mistake: In Dr. Fumi's final bit of Phone Fling conversation (if you opted for the answer on the right), the quotation marks for her nickname in school ("Distressing but effective") close but never opened.

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Other mistake: When Dwayne stalks Simone, his sidecar is smack in the middle of the driveway when she approaches; he drives away towards the left but he is then lurking on the right side of the road as she drives off. All of that with his front light on. Not even a blind person could Miss it, and he'd have to swerve wildly to get in that sort of position. (00:28:10)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Humphrey foolishly lets Catherine pick the dish for dinner, he lifts the menu and only the menu off the table, but in the following shot he has one of the blue paper towels underneath it. (00:27:30)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Summing up the lack of progress in the case in front of the whiteboard, Humphrey points at Bevans' picture with his right hand at first in the overhead shot, which becomes the left hand at the cut. (00:25:30)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Other mistake: Humph points out a suspiciously large cash transfer that happened 'three months ago'. On the bank statement, the transfer is shown as happening on Feb 3, so we should be around May. The security footage Dwayne reviews established that the murder happened on the 7th of March. (00:22:00)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Other mistake: When Camille checks out Natasha's bank statement (a picture of it, which is kinda odd as you'd expect another file format), it contains amongst many other payments also a cash transfer to Paul Bevans for €10,000, but the subtotals do not reflect that at all (from over 18k Euros goes to 12k). There is also the not negligible detail that her name is misspelled in her own bank account; she is "Natasha Thiebert" but the statement spells it "Tieebert." (00:22:05)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Camille tests how hard it is to reach the room keys (answer; it is very easy). In close-up the key to 276 is unperturbed and with the actual key to the right of the rock, but in the wide shot the key is to the opposite side of the stone fob. (00:07:55)

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: At the concierge during the first interview, the phone rings. Simone asks "May I?" pointing with her left hand, which becomes the right hand after the cut. (00:09:00)

Sammo

Episode #3.4 - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Natasha Thiebert walks away from the table, she walks past the colleague in a loud blue and red shirt (Max). In the close-up when she looks back at the table though, Max passes her by again. (00:00:50)

Episode #3.3 - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: A very disappointed Commissioner Selwyn Patterson walks away from the station' stairs and its resident goats. Dwayne then shows the firearm register's entry, but he does it with his left hand, right hand with a really odd flourish, and left again between shots. (00:35:00)

Episode #3.3 - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Goodman and Bordey return to the police station after interviewing the Dragon Lady, the Defender's hood is fully in the sun as the Commissioner greets them, half in the shadow when they parked. (00:34:10)

Episode #3.3 - S3-E3

Factual error: Reading the dull travel guide, the island of Saint Marie is said to be 1/10 of Guadeloupe (≈162 km), 1/8 of Dominica (≈94 km), 1/6 of Saint Lucia (≈102 km), 1/5 of Martinique (≈225 km) and 1/3 of Barbados (≈146 km). How big IS Saint Marie then? It makes no sense! These very specific fractions (Goodman praises how meticulous the book is) contradict each other. It should also be noted that this fictional book is from 1929 and none of those entities were independent nations. (00:18:25)

Episode #3.3 - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: Inspecting the crime scene, Camille is looking through the victim's extensive wardrobe and wonders how he could afford all those designer clothes. Dwayne says "Good question. Come."; Camille has her right hand on the edge of the armoire door, but at the next shot it is her left hand, with the right on the other panel of the sliding door. (00:07:45)

Sammo

Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Humph says."was the intended victim all along", a walking extra in a grey hat quickly pops in view, and disappears in the next shot. He appears again walking in the same direction a couple cuts later, when Dwayne hunches over the trunk (which would be far behind the first point we saw him at). (00:45:00)
