Death in Paradise

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Factual error: Humphrey and the rest of the crew arrive on the murder scene, where Fidel is taking pictures of the body. With the knife fully planted inside the victim and pictures still to be taken, Fidel is already able to say that the knife has been wiped clean of prints; it's impossible that he could have already done such an assessment at that point.

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 #3.2 - S3-E2

Factual error: When Camille shows the emails to Humphrey, the last one in the list is dated Tue 15/01/2014, which was a Wednesday. It should also be noted that the list does not appear to be sorted by any criteria that would work on Outlook Express. (00:22:00)

Episode #3.1 - S3-E1

Factual error: In the close-up of the letter accompanying the package sent by DI Richard Poole's parents, their address is from Oadby, Leicester, with a postcode starting by OL9, which is the designation for Oldham, in Lancashire. (00:26:00)

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.

Man Overboard: Part 2 - S6-E6

DI Jack Mooney: My grandfather told me a story once, about these two wolves fighting inside all of us. And one of them is anger, envy, self-pity, regret. The other one is love, truth, faith, hope, that sort of thing.
And I asked him "which one of the wolves would win?" And do you know what he said?
"The one you feed."

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.
