Flames of Love - S5-E8

Factual error: The stratagem used to conceal the murder and disguise it as suicide is absurd from the start; it relies on the old trope of a gun "silenced" shooting through a pillow. It simply does not work, a gunshot in the early morning in the empty camp would have not been dulled down significantly by a pillow, and still be heard.

Flames of Love - S5-E8

Factual error: When JP shows the article from the Cowbridge Gazette, it is the Wednesday 22.01.16. January the 22nd was a Friday in 2016. Following article's date; Wednesday 2.2.2016. Actual 2.2.2016: a Tuesday. (00:15:25)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Factual error: Dwayne's phone during the intro says it's Saturday July 4th. The episodes (memorial banner, death certificate) takes place in 2016, when July 4th was a Monday.

The Complex Murder - S5-E1

Factual error: The website of the toy manufacturer has as address for its store a location in Harrogate, but the ZIP code has an incorrect format, with the 4th character being an O and not a zero, and HG4 being the neighbouring Ripon. (00:28:30)

Mistakes

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.

Questions

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.
