Continuity mistake: The police crew is having beers to celebrate the alleged resolution of the case, but Richard is not convinced. During the scene, the beer bottles change position between shots - for instance when Fidel says "Maybe she was confused" he puts his hands on the bottle of Etensel, gone in the next shot with Camille piling on his objection - and in that shot even his hat on the table is facing the other way. In fact, throughout the scene his hat keeps rotating to different directions. (00:18:20)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Richard stirs his cup of tea with a spoon; in the close-up of the puzzle board the cup is still on the table, but in the frontal views he is reaching for it and putting the spoon in before the cut, and he has it in hand in the one after.

Continuity mistake: In the scene at Catherine's cafe, the lid on Richard's plastic bottle is off, on, off again. In the same part of the scene, the mug changes position between shots - its handle is pointing away from Richard or towards him, and when they ask him about voodoo, it even is alternatively in his hand or on the table depending on the angle, back and forth several times. (00:17:00)

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Richard just closed the shack leaving the pet lizard behind, and is talking to the Commissioner who roped him into staying.

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: DI Richard Poole is in front of the panic room, explaining how the murder happened. He is holding two evidence bags; the fact that the one with the .22 gun changes position between shots several times is made more obvious by the fact that the tag is visible, and each time Richard's fingers are covering different letters. (00:44:20)
Continuity mistake: Mayor Catherine Bordey approaches Dwayne at the melon stand and talks him into forgiving his dad. During the conversation, she has direct sunlight on her right side (shoulder, face) in the shots with the camera closer to her, and no rays whenever the camera is closer to Danny John-Jules.
