Die He Said - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Magnum told Bobby Malua about his brother and that he can't leave the island without first saving him. There's a close-up of him saying "Look..."; do look, and you can't Miss a big lock of hair across his bloodied eye. But in the next shot, it's gone. (00:14:50)

Factual error: The lease contract that Magnum inspects puts the City of Haleiwa in the "County of Hawaii" in the State of Hawaii, but it's Honolulu county, not "Hawaii." (00:09:40)

Continuity mistake: When Magnum says "Let's get after it" only to be interrupted by Kumu shouting at him about the phone call, Higgins reaches for the goggles on top of her head; Thomas in another shot says "I'm sorry" and her hands are off the goggles, but in the following close-up on Perdita Weeks she has exactly a pose with hands on them.

The Cat Who Cried Wolf - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: Magnum gives chase to the person who escaped from the house with the dead body. The guy throws behind him an ironing board; when we get the following shot with the camera following Jay Hernandez, we can also spot the cameraman following Jay Hernandez, reflected in the mirror on the left side of the frame. (00:14:30)

The Cat Who Cried Wolf - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: Magnum does a typical movie internet search; he types stuff on the keyboard and pages on Bing he supposedly types the search terms in change without him even finishing to type or typing new words. Moreover, the address bar is stuck on "/search?" without any of the search terms appearing there. (00:04:25)

The Cat Who Cried Wolf - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: The kid brings cookies to Magnum. He takes the plate and starts plucking one when he says "thank you", with his right hand. In the next shot the hand holding the plate is the right, and the left one is the one that picks the cookie. (00:06:15)

The Cat Who Cried Wolf - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After he accepted the case, Magnum walks out of the house of his client holding the picture; in close-up his left hand is on the bottom side of the photo, but he holds it by the corners in the previous and following shot. (00:04:00)

Death Is Only Temporary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Magnum asks his client about Lizzie's debt. As he says "it was such a long time ago", the man in foreground is rubbing his eyes, but lowers his hand before the cut. In the next shot, he's shown as if his problems just started to manifest. (00:16:55)

Death Is Only Temporary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: TC and Rick are having "breakfast" with the veteran. When he sarcastically answers "Couldn't be better", TC' s has both hands around the bottle, while he just had one on top in the first shot. Rick has both hands around the can, and in the next shot he's got just one, the other being behind it. It goes back and forth as the two different angles alternate in editing. (00:10:55)

Death Is Only Temporary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Magnum's client puts on the small table the e-mail with the picture on top, in a close-up. New shot and the picture has shifted to the right, and in the one that follows, Magnum grabs the mail without anything on top of it. (00:10:00)

Death Is Only Temporary - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Thomas puts the first pancakes in the dish and asks the kids about his own job. The kid answers "Hella cool things", and the girl next to him has her arm raised. New shot, and her arm is lowered - Magnum also is holding the plate higher than earlier. (00:03:45)
