Episode #1.8 - S1-E8

Other mistake: A mysterious character breaks into Nadia's house after the police left. He does it by literally punching a hole in the door and reaching for the keys that are in the keyhole, inside. How did the police close the door when they left, if keys are still inside?

Suggested correction: With another key. Most houses come with several copies. And there are door locks you can operate while another key is sticking in it from the other side.

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Plot hole: Leon Hamilton is the most hated man in Sainte Marie, with over 900 people on the island conned by him. Yet exactly one person in the whole island knows how he looks like, every newspaper and website never ever published a picture of him even during the very public trial when they were trying to get their thousands of dollars back nor publish an archive picture after his death.

DI Jack Mooney: Strictly speaking, paradise is a state of mind. You know that, right? I mean, the dung beetle - very different idea of paradise, doesn't he? (00:48:25)

Trivia

Erupting in Murder - S6-E1

Trivia: A bit of the episode has been cut for the streaming releases; at the end of the scene with Humphrey taking Martha's luggage, he would make a date with her for the next day, to cook dinner for her at 8. This has been eliminated probably because it created timing issues with 8 PM being too well lit (in contrast with the supposed timing of the murder) and the ending takes place at Catherine's for a cute drinking scene anyway.

Questions

Show generally

Question: Why did the cord on the wall phone in the police station change from straight in the early episodes to coiled later?

Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.

As long as such changes aren't an obvious continuity mistake (e.g. changing multiple times during a day), one can just assume the change happened in-universe as well. Things do get broken or updated occasionally. It adds a bit of realism, in my opinion.
