Death in Paradise

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Plot hole: The real culprit pinned the crime on DI Charlie Hulme, but since everything was improvised and acted on the spot, it doesn't explain how could they access Charlie's safety deposit box at the bank stuffing it with incriminating evidence. It is specified through Fidel and Dwayne's dialogue that the box is at the bank, where everyone is required to show identification to get a box and access it, not some anonymous private storage company or a random locker.

Suggested correction: Since the murderer is with the police, it's possible she found a way to convince the bank clerk to allow her access. But unless the clerk was in on it and manipulated the record or such, it should have come out immediately when Poole investigated the locker. Hard to believe he wouldn't ask about the last access.

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.

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.

The Impossible Murder - S6-E3

Question: Why don't they even think of pretending the victim just drunkenly tripped in the kitchen while getting a sandwich, and his sister-in-law reflexively tried to catch him, unfortunately holding a knife? He thought he would live a few more minutes, so he could have backed up the story. Instead, everybody (victim and police) just takes it as given that the stabbing will reveal their relationship.
